We won't say that it's a new trend, since man has been constructing lightweight road trip shelters for nearly as long as he's had an automobile to tow them, but some interesting ideas and designs have definitely been bubbling to the surface lately. The Mogo Freedom trailer is the latest member of this rising tide, opening the walls of camping trailer design to create a super-simple, ultra-versatile shelter and toy hauler.  <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/mogo-freedom-gullwing-trailer/36270/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36232"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/japan-camping-car-show-2015/36232/">Highlights from the Japan Camping Car Show 2015</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/author/stephen-clemenger/">Stephen Clemenger</a></div> <div class="date">March 12, 2015</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/japan-camping-car-show-2015/36232/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/japan-camping-car-show-2015/36232/pictures">44 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/japan-camping-car-show-2015/36232/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/japancampingcarshow2015-88.jpg" title="Highlights from the Japan Camping Car Show 2015 (Photo: Stephen Clemenger/Gizmag.com)" alt="Highlights from the Japan Camping Car Show 2015 (Photo: Stephen Clemenger/Gizmag.com)"/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Almost three quarters of Japan is covered by forests and mountains, meaning the mostly city-dwelling population of 126 million have both the space and the necessity to just get away from it all. Time is also in short supply for the working population, so long weekends or short vacations are the norm ... and when everyone has same vacation idea at the same time, accommodation is at a premium. This all adds up to a ready marketplace for camping vehicles. Gizmag headed along to the 2015 Camping Car show in Tokyo to check out the latest ways to tackle the great outdoors on wheels.  <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/japan-camping-car-show-2015/36232/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36319"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/gila-board-off-road-skateboard/36319/">Gila Board brings independent suspension to off-road skateboarding</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">February 27, 2015</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/gila-board-off-road-skateboard/36319/#comments">2 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/gila-board-off-road-skateboard/36319/pictures">6 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/gila-board-off-road-skateboard/36319/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/gila-board.jpg" title="The mean-lookin' Gila Board " alt="The mean-lookin' Gila Board "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> We've seen a number of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/rockboard-descender-track-skateboard/22027/" target="_blank">off-road skateboards</a> hit the market over the past several years, although most of them have little or no suspension, and many <em>do</em> have <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/bajaboard-electric-mountainboard/31741/" target="_blank">electric motors</a> – the latter is fine if you want it, but just adds weight, expense and complexity if you don't.

That said, German camper manufacturer Bimobil has managed to create a convincingly tough expedition vehicle by planting its own living module on top of an AWD Sprinter chassis.

The all-new Zibock packs small and light for hiking deep into the mountains, then assembles into a full-suspension sled in minutes, providing a sit-down alternative to backcountry skiing and snowboarding.  <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/zibock-takes-sledding-backcountry-skiing/36194/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36202"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/fogo-smart-flashlight-gps-walkie-talkie/36202/">Fogo smart flashlight packs more than just a torch to help you find your way</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/author/nick-lavars/">Nick Lavars</a></div> <div class="date">February 22, 2015</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/fogo-smart-flashlight-gps-walkie-talkie/36202/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/fogo-smart-flashlight-gps-walkie-talkie/36202/pictures">10 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/fogo-smart-flashlight-gps-walkie-talkie/36202/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/fogo.jpg" title="Among other things, the Fogo flashlight packs a GPS and walkie talkie to ready you for the..." alt="Among other things, the Fogo flashlight packs a GPS and walkie talkie to ready you for the..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Depending on just how uncharted the territory, preparation for an outdoor adventure can involve throwing any number of gadgets in your pack before you set out. A GPS device for finding your way around in the day, a flashlight for finding your way around in the night and perhaps a walkie talkie for when you're lost may all be part of the toolkit. Startup Fogo Digital has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a modular, multi-purpose flashlight that squeezes functions like these into a single pocket-sized device, aimed at lightening the load when you're headed into the wilderness.  <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/fogo-smart-flashlight-gps-walkie-talkie/36202/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36193"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/skitaker/36193/">SkiTaker lets you carry your skis using your feet</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">February 20, 2015</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/skitaker/36193/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/skitaker/36193/pictures">5 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/skitaker/36193/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/skitaker.jpg" title="The SkiTaker system allows users to clip the bottoms of the skis onto the sides of their b..." alt="The SkiTaker system allows users to clip the bottoms of the skis onto the sides of their b..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Downhill skis may give you an unmatched feeling of freedom and exhilaration when you're actually skiing, but they can be quite awkward to carry when you're not on the slopes. That's why a group of Spanish entrepreneurs has created the SkiTaker system. It allows users to clip the ends of their skis onto the sides of their boots, then "walk" their skis around vaguely like upside-down stilts.  <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/skitaker/36193/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36043"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/ethanol-based-firedragon-biofuel/36043/">Ethanol-based Fire Dragon biofuel starts fires in dire conditions</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/">C.C.

Perhaps that's why we're always fascinated with versatile, new fire-starting materials, especially when they have awesome names. Fire Dragon from BCB International is a new, ultra-versatile, purportedly eco-friendly way of getting a roaring blaze sparked or meal cooked.  <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/ethanol-based-firedragon-biofuel/36043/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="pagination"> <div class="next_prev"> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/outdoors/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/outdoors/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/outdoors/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/outdoors/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/outdoors/2/" class="next_pagination">Next </a> » </div> </div> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20150317010607/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
