Backpacking Stove Product

Overview

The backpacking stove is a compact canister-top burner that threads directly onto a self-sealing isobutane/propane fuel canister. At roughly 73 grams it serves solo and small-group cooking where pack weight is the dominant constraint. The unit pairs a brass Burner Head with a precision needle Control Valve Assembly, three folding Pot Support Assembly, and an integrated Piezo Igniter, all carried in a drawstring Stuff Sack.

Rated output is about 3,000 W, enough to bring one litre of water to a rolling boil in under four minutes in still air. The needle valve gives fine simmer control, so the stove handles slow cooking as well as fast boiling.

How it works

Fuel leaves the canister through the Canister Connector, which screws onto the standard Lindal valve and depresses its pin to release pressurized gas. An inlet check valve in the connector blocks backflow when the stove is unthreaded. Gas then passes the control valve, where a tapered needle seats against a metering orifice; turning the folding wire handle withdraws the needle to set flow anywhere between a bare simmer and full output.

Metered gas accelerates through the jet nozzle into the venturi of the burner head, entraining primary air on the way. The gas/air mixture fills the mixing tube and emerges through the drilled flame-port ring as a stable circle of flame. On cold days a Preheat Tube routes fuel past the flame so any liquid draw vaporizes before it reaches the jet, holding output steady as canister pressure falls.

The three serrated support arms fold out around the burner to cradle a pot and grip its base, then fold flat against the body for packing. Lighting is one-handed: pressing the igniter button strikes a piezo crystal whose high-voltage pulse jumps from the spark electrode to ground at the flame ports. The cast aluminium Base Body ties the connector, valve and burner into a single rigid gas path.', },

The camping tent is a freestanding two-person dome built for three-season use. A crossing aluminium pole set tensions a breathable inner Tent Body beneath a coated waterproof Rainfly, giving two doors and two vestibules in a sub-1.7 kg minimum trail weight. Because the structure is freestanding it pitches without stakes on hard ground, though the included Aluminium Stake set and Guyline Set are needed to tension the fly and resist wind.

Construction

The inner body is sewn from ripstop nylon canopy panels and large no-see-um mesh panels for airflow, dropping into a bathtub floor whose coated fabric and raised welded seams keep groundwater out. Two zippered Door Assembly units, ceiling pockets and guy-out loops complete the canopy. The body clips to the poles with ten plastic pole clips rather than sleeves, which speeds pitching and improves ventilation between the inner and fly.

The Pole Set is the structural heart: fourteen 7000-series aluminium segments are swaged with ferrules, strung on internal shock cord and joined at a central hub so the arches cross and lock into the canopy corners. Shock cord lets the poles fold compactly and self-align when shaken out.

Over the top, the rainfly is a ripstop nylon canopy treated with a silicone/PU coating for a roughly 1,500 mm hydrostatic head. It carries a vestibule over each door for gear storage, propped vents to shed condensation, and side-release buckles that clip to the body corners and let the fly be tensioned independently. Stitched seams on both the floor and fly are sealed with heat-bonded tape.

Setup accessories include a coated Footprint that protects the floor and extends its life, drawcord Stuff Sacks for tent, poles and stakes, and a Repair Kit holding a pole splint, adhesive patches and spare seam tape for field repairs.', },

'headlamp': { specs: [ ['Type', 'Rechargeable LED headlamp'], ['Max output', '450 lumens (spot + flood)'], ['Beam distance', '110 m on high'], ['Light sources', 'Spot, flood and red emitters'], ['Modes', 'High / mid / low / flood / red / strobe'], ['Runtime', '2.5 h high · 40 h low · 60 h red'], ['Battery', '18650 Li-ion, 3.7 V 3,400 mAh (12.6 Wh)'], ['Charging', 'USB-C, ~3 h to full'], ['Controls', 'Tactile button + wave gesture sensor'], ['Tilt', 'Ratcheting bracket, ~60° down'], ['Weight', '78 g with battery'], ['Water resistance', 'IPX4 (splash-proof)'], ['Housing', 'O-ring-sealed two-shell case'], ['Headband', 'Elastic main + over-crown top strap'], ], body: '## Overview

The headlamp is a rechargeable head-worn lamp delivering up to 450 lumens from a multi-emitter optic on a tilting, weather-sealed head. A single 18650 cell drives spot, flood and red beams selected by a tactile button or a wave of the hand. The product combines a sealed Lamp Housing, an Optics Module module, a Control Board, a protected Battery and an adjustable Headband.

How it works

The optics module carries the LED Board, a metal-core PCB mounting a high-output spot LED, a wide flood LED and a low-output red LED for preserving night vision. A total-internal-reflection lens collimates the white emitters into a focused throw and a near-field flood, and an impact-resistant clear cover seals the front. Beam choice and brightness are set on the control board, where a microcontroller runs the mode logic and a constant-current buck driver regulates emitter current so output stays flat as the cell discharges.

User input arrives two ways: a rubber-capped tactile dome switch cycles power and modes, while an IR proximity sensor toggles the light on a hand wave, useful when gloved or hands-dirty. The same board holds a single-cell Li-ion charge controller fed from a USB-C port, and an Indicator LED LED reports charge state and battery level.

Power comes from the battery assembly: an 18650 lithium-ion cell guarded by a BMS protection board against overcharge, over-discharge and short circuit, with spring contact plates carrying current to the boards. The lamp head sits in the housing, whose two shells close on an O-ring seal for IPX4 splash resistance and mount to a ratcheting Tilt Bracket. A sprung pawl seats the toothed ratchet at each detent so the beam holds its downward angle. The elastic main strap and over-the-crown top strap distribute weight, while a mount bracket cradles the head and accepts the tilt pivot.', },

'inflatable-kayak': { specs: [ ['Type', 'Drop-stitch inflatable touring kayak'], ['Capacity', '1 paddler'], ['Length', '320 cm inflated'], ['Width', '88 cm'], ['Max load', '120 kg'], ['Air chambers', '4 (floor + 2 sides + cones)'], ['Floor pressure', 'Drop-stitch floor to 10 psi (0.7 bar)'], ['Side-tube pressure', '3 psi (0.2 bar)'], ['Hull material', 'Reinforced PVC / drop-stitch fabric'], ['Weight', '11 kg (hull only)'], ['Packed size', '70 × 40 × 25 cm in carry bag'], ['Inflation time', '8 min with hand pump'], ['Paddle', '2-piece, 220 cm aluminium shaft'], ['Skeg', 'Removable slide-in tracking fin'], ], body: '## Overview

The inflatable kayak is a single-seat drop-stitch touring boat that packs into a backpack yet inflates to a rigid 3.2 m hull. The welded Hull uses a high-pressure drop-stitch floor and two side tubes for stiffness comparable to a hardshell, and the kit ships complete with a Seat Assembly, a take-apart Paddle, a double-action Hand Pump and a Carry Backpack.

Construction

The hull is built from reinforced PVC and drop-stitch fabric panels joined with heat-welded seam tape rather than glue, giving airtight joints that tolerate repeated folding. Its drop-stitch floor chamber holds thousands of internal threads that let it inflate to around 10 psi and stay flat and rigid underfoot, while the two lower-pressure side tubes and welded end cones form the buoyant perimeter and shape the bow and stern. Each chamber inflates through a Valve Assembly Boston valve: a spring-loaded one-way core lets air in while the user pumps and seals it on release, with a tethered cap for a dust-tight finish.

Outfitting bonds directly to the hull. The seat assembly is an inflatable foam-backed base with an adjustable padded backrest held by quick-release webbing straps, set against an inflatable Footrest block for bracing. A removable Skeg Assembly slots a tracking fin into a bonded hull channel to improve straight-line tracking, and a Deck Rigging set adds bonded D-rings, grab handles and a perimeter bungee line.

The double-action hand pump moves air on both the push and pull stroke through a check valve, with an inline gauge so each chamber is brought to its rated pressure. A Spray Deck keeps water out of the cockpit, and a Repair Kit of self-adhesive patches and PVC glue handles field punctures.', },

'portable-power-station': { specs: [ ['Type', 'Portable LiFePO4 power station'], ['Capacity', '1,024 Wh (3.2 V × 32700 cells ×16)'], ['Chemistry', 'LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate)'], ['Cycle life', '3,000 cycles to 80%'], ['AC output', 'Pure sine, 1,000 W continuous / 2,000 W surge'], ['AC voltage', '120 V / 230 V, 50/60 Hz'], ['USB output', 'USB-A + USB-C PD up to 100 W'], ['DC output', '12 V car socket + regulated barrel jack'], ['Solar input', 'MPPT, 11–60 V, up to 200 W'], ['AC charge time', '1.8 h to full'], ['Weight', '~11 kg'], ['Cooling', 'Temperature-controlled axial fan'], ['Connectivity', 'Wi-Fi / Bluetooth app control'], ['Display', 'Status LCD with charge and power flow'], ], body: '## Overview

The portable power station is a roughly 1 kWh LiFePO4 battery box that delivers clean mains AC alongside USB and DC outputs for camping, off-grid work and backup power. A pure-sine Pure-Sine Inverter Board feeds the Output Panel panel, while an MPPT Charge Controller solar controller and an AC/DC AC/DC Charger Board refill the LiFePO4 Battery Pack. Everything is housed in a molded Enclosure with a carry handle, rubber feet and ventilation grilles.

How it works

Energy is stored in sixteen 32700 LiFePO4 cells held in a plastic cell holder and joined by spot-welded nickel busbars. Lithium iron phosphate gives long cycle life and high thermal stability at the cost of some energy density, suiting a unit that is charged and discharged often. A BMS board balances the cells and enforces voltage, current and temperature limits, reading two NTC sensors in the pack.

Charging arrives through the Input Panel panel from either a solar array or the mains. The MPPT controller continuously tunes its operating point to extract the most power from a PV panel as light changes, while the AC/DC charger rectifies and isolates grid power through a high-frequency transformer. On output, the inverter switches the DC bus through a MOSFET and IGBT bridge into a toroidal transformer to produce a pure-sine 120/230 V waveform clean enough for sensitive electronics; a USB PD board regulates the USB rails.

A Control Board supervises the whole system, coordinating the BMS, inverter, charging and outputs, and reporting state of charge and power flow on the Display Assembly. A temperature-controlled Cooling Fan pulls air across the hot boards and pack, copper Busbars + Internal Wiring carries the high-current path, and a Wireless Module exposes monitoring and control to a phone app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.', },

'portable-water-filter': { specs: [ ['Type', 'Hand-pump hollow-fiber water filter'], ['Filter media', 'Hollow-fiber membrane + activated carbon'], ['Pore size', '0.1 micron (absolute)'], ['Removes', 'Protozoa, bacteria, microplastics, sediment'], ['Flow rate', '1.0 L/min at full stroke'], ['Cartridge life', '1,500 L (field-dependent)'], ['Pump action', 'Lever piston, ~1 L per 40 strokes'], ['Output', 'Bottle-thread + barb adapter'], ['Weight', '320 g (pump + cartridge)'], ['Packed size', '180 × 75 mm'], ['Inlet', 'Float intake + coarse pre-filter screen'], ['Maintenance', 'Backflush syringe restores flow'], ['Housing', 'Rigid plastic, O-ring sealed'], ], body: '## Overview

The portable water filter is a hand-pumped backpacking unit that forces raw water through a hollow-fiber membrane to strain out protozoa and bacteria, delivering clean water at roughly a litre per minute. The core is a replaceable Filter Cartridge driven by a lever Hand Pump, drawing from a source through an Inlet Hose and discharging through an Outlet Hose and bottle-thread adapter. The whole kit stows in a mesh Carry Bag.

How it works

Raw water enters at the intake, where a buoyant float suspends the inlet hose mid-column away from bottom sediment and a coarse pre-filter screen blocks grit before it can reach the membrane. Stroking the Pump Handle drives a cup-sealed piston in the pump cylinder; two check valves rectify the motion, drawing water in on one stroke and pressurizing it on the next, while a coil return spring resets the piston. This pressure is what pushes water across the filter rather than relying on gravity, so flow stays high even from shallow or murky sources.

Inside the cartridge, pressurized water meets a bundle of microporous hollow fibers. Both ends of the bundle are sealed in epoxy potting so every drop is forced through the fiber walls, where pores around 0.1 micron physically block protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium along with bacteria and microplastics. An optional bonded Activated-Carbon Core then reduces chlorine, taste and odor as the water exits. The cartridge housing and threaded end caps seal on O-rings so no raw water bypasses the membrane.

Clean water leaves through the outlet hose and a Bottle Adapter that screws onto common drink bottles and hydration bladders. As fibers clog and flow drops, a Backflush Syringe pushes clean water backward through the cartridge to dislodge trapped debris and restore the original flow rate.
