De Pitch-a-Pod is een zelfvoorzienende kampeeraccomodatie met de look en feel van een tent die overal ter wereld in de mooiste landschappen kan worden neer gezet. Bedoeld voor de oudere kampeerder die nog wel graag “back to nature” gaat, maar niet meer op z’n knieën de tent in wil (of kan) kruipen.

WILDERNESS CAMPING 2.0
[ travel ]
the pitch-a-pod provides a new camping experience.
developed specially for the senior explorer. this basic
pod feels like a tent and can be pitched anywhere.
As I get older, I find it increasingly harder to crawl into my trekking tent after a long day of hiking. But as I don’t want to quit exploring the world, I still want to go camping out in the wilderness. Luckily for me National Geo-graphic has sensed my need. I got the oppor-tunity to test their new camping concept Pitch-a-Pod. The Pitch-a-Pod is a self-sufficient, moveable pod that can be pitched anywhere, whether it is on the beach, in the mountains, in the desert, on a lake or in the forest. National Geographic makes the arrangements for pitching the pod at all the best spots think-
able. The Pitch-a-Pod offers basic facilities, has the look and feel of a tent and is made of environment friendly materials. I tested the pod at different locations and have to say that the Pitch-a-pod is a perfect base to explore new landscapes at your own pace and time. It offers all the freedom of wilderness camping with just that little bit of comfort you need when your body gets older. And it’s just marvellous to relax on the front porch after a good day hiking. I’m a happy camper again…
