May 13th, 2007 at 3:33PM: Attention, glampers! How many times have you felt the need for a frozen daiquiri while in the woods? How often have you wished you could cut through all that silence so you could crush some ice and mix it with alcohol right from the bed of your truck? Well, now you can! The Daiquiri Whacker is a gas-powered, go-anywhere party starter. Portable and powerful, the unit's twist throttle gives you ...T@B: the Travel Trailer for Roaming Urbanites
May 1st, 2007 at 12:30PM:
We've been noticing a wave of modern campers that are making their presence known in the world of glamping this year. Along with the Deseo, and Desgin Within Reach's collaboration with Airstream, newcomer (to us, anyway) T@B is offering a "smart, stylish, independent" travel trailer for roaming urbanites with an itch to hit the road in style. What's unique about the T@B is its low weight and ...I Wish I Had: A Sun-brella
Apr 28th, 2007 at 2:55PM: We love the beach, so we head there a lot. However, I tremble in fear when I see some of the old, leathery grandmas strutting down the beach. Will my skin look like beef jerky one day, too? To combat that, we always slather on the sunscreen and only stay for a short time. However, if we had a Sun-brella, we could probably stay a little longer -- and have a lot more fun! I wish I had one!
The ...Designs Within Reach + Airstream = Glamping Heaven
Apr 26th, 2007 at 1:44PM:
Designs Within Reach, the same furniture retailer that brought you the bottomless beach chair, is teaming up with legendary motor home-maker Airstream to develop a "trailer for the mobile young modernist -rock climbers, surfers, dot-com guys," according to the New York Times. This looks very similar to Deseo's "modular caravan" that Willy wrote about last week. Is camping becoming chic? I've ...dig&sit
Apr 21st, 2007 at 3:30PM: If you want to enjoy your cold wine on the beach in a little more style than by sitting in a bottomless beach chair (I mean, come on!), you should consider the dig&sit, a flexible beach sofa. Made of two layers of damp-proof, pvc-coated nylon, the 3-person dig&sit features two quilted foam zones to make that hard beach sand just a wee bit softer. The dig&sit also features stainless ...Ziploc Bag Ice Cream
Apr 20th, 2007 at 10:00AM: Here's a great, easy idea for the next time you go camping: make Ziploc Bag Ice Cream! The easiest recipe for camping ice cream comes from the clever guys at Get Outdoors:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons salt (rock salt is best)
Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar in one ziploc sandwich bag. Place ice and salt in a ziploc freezer bag. Place the ...The Wavebox
Mar 21st, 2007 at 11:00AM: Well, it looks like glamping may be inching to the mainstream. Just check out the the WaveBox, a rugged, portable lunchbox that's also a microwave. Running on 3 power options -- AC, DC direct clip to a car battery, or DC connection to a cigarette lighter -- the Wavebox allows glampers to heat up their popcorn, French toast, Hot Pockets, or whatever, without the hassle of that old messy, annoying ...Glamping with the N!ergy Tent
Mar 13th, 2007 at 11:24AM:
Maybe it's just me... but isn't camping supposed to be an escape from the modern conveniences available in your home? Isn't that why we go "outdoors," to get away from it all, to unplug and relax a bit? Eureka, makers of the N!ergy Tent, think differently. Maybe they're a bit smarter than the average bear -- they know that people want their s'more and eat it too, they want electricity on the ...Glamping, and other puzzling trends in travel
Mar 6th, 2007 at 5:00PM: Glamping, or glamorous camping -- a new buzzword popping up in publications across the globe (a Google search yields 400+ results already) -- is becoming a trend among the more fortunate, and less adventurous of travelers looking to "rough it" in the outdoors. From Yahoo, "In British Columbia, Canada, the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, a 30-minute boat ride from the town of Tofino, is offering ...
