1. The Bikamper:

A revolutionary idea for mountain bikers who want to cut the stress of weekend missions in the wilds, Topeak’s Bikamper is a cyclist’s take on the caravan. Made of light waterproof nylon, the tent uses the bike frame and front wheel as tent pegs, which makes for lighter work.

With two ventilation windows that double as a skylight for staring at the stars at night and a waterproof fly, the design is both functional and aesthetic. A solo traveler’s dream, despite the question which no-one has answered. What happens to the tent when you want to go for a cycle?

2. SELK’BAG:

The astronauts were onto something when they invented puffy suits to keep the extra-terrestrial elements at bay.While Selk’bag doesn’t come with oxygen and technological bleepers, it does provide all-in-one comfort and a warm solution to braving the elements when Nature calls at night.

Padded and shaped to the human form, this tent-cum-body bag can withstand negative temperatures and has layered inserts which act as a mattress on hard ground. Ties and adjustment belts allow for free movement and protection from the elements at the same time.

Modeled on a bird’s nest, this top-of-the-range cross between a tent and sleeping bag is an ingenious invention for those who love the outdoors but don’t like the bugs that crawl on the ground.

Hung from a tree or any other tall structure that crops up in the wild, the cocoon provides comfort and pleasure in the open air at the same time.

Designer camping for campers who like their creature comforts, this trendy camping tent comes with solar panel and integrated, interior LED lights. Charged by a solar panel placed on top of the tent, the tent offers 2-4 hours of light for every 4-6 hours of direct light entering through the PVC window at the top of the fly.

The solar panels can also be used to charge batteries independently, but there’s room for improvement in the tent material which is petroleum-based. [ via: Canadian Tire ]

10. DirecTV’s SatGo:

There’s nothing quite like getting away from technological interference to really soothe the nerves, but softcore travelers tend to like small doses of outside news, or soapies, every now and then.
