after months of lockdown, camping is the ultimate social distancing activity

after months of lockdown and isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, camping is proving the ultimate social distancing activity for those that want to enjoy the outdoors safely. as the weather warms up in many places around the world, camping presents an ideal solution to escape the confines of domestic interiors and immerse oneself into nature. some of its benefits include the possibility to constantly be surrounded by fresh air; the freedom to spend time alone, or with a selected amount of people, in an isolated spot while being outside; and the adaptability of camping equipment, which allows it to be easily set-up or transported in a number of environments. take a look below for some of the most creative projects to get back to the outdoors this summer.‘kammok sunda 2.0 transforms from tent to hammock in below 60 seconds

creative camping projects include high-tech gear, such as the ‘kammok sunda 2.0’ tent, which transforms into a hammock in less than 60 seconds; or the ‘mock ONE’ hammock that does not attach to trees, allowing users to relax in places they wouldn’t be able to otherwise. another category is hybrid vehicles like zeltini’s ‘z-triton’, an electric camper combining house, trike and boat, and peugeot’s ‘rifter’ 4×4 concept camper van, which comes with an overland roof tent and an electric mountain bike. finally, micro-homes offer another option for those that want to spend the night immersed in nature. examples include the self-sustainable ‘ecocapsule’, a tiny dwelling that can be shipped, airlifted, towed or even pulled by a pack animal to the most remote locations.
