Project Summary

Camping is a recreational outdoor activity that involves overnight stays away from home in a shelter. This recreational activity dates back to the 1880s and is said to be popularized in the UK on the river Thames. Later it evolves to many areas and present-day camping may be combined with hiking as in backpacking and is in conjunction with outdoor activities such as canoeing, climbing, fishing, and hunting. To be regarded as “camping” a minimum of one night spent outdoors is required and this involves getting the meals prepared for an overnight stay at the camping site.

This project is about designing a portable camping kitchen that will enable the preparation of a meal for two persons, who are camping partners. Imagine they are going on a camping trip with one of their friends. One is responsible for providing shelter and drinking water and will carry the camping gear and water for the two. The other was given the responsibility of cooking one meal for two. The desired camping site is far from human settlements.

The meal will consist of Rice, Dhal curry, and Tempered canned fish. They need to carry the essentials need to prepare the above menu, including the utensils needed to prepare the meal and serve it to two persons.

Design a portable camping kitchen, which you can carry for one-night camping in a remote area. The Camping kitchen is to be designed with consideration given to the following It should design in a way to carry the following items.

• Food-Rice, Dhal, Canned Fish, Curry Powder, oil onion, and other required spices to cook a decent meal for two persons

• Utensils, spoons, knives, plates, and cups

• Furniture-Piece or Two as required Small gas stove lightweight.

• Should be easily set up and collapsible

• Functional and spatial requirements of preparing the food, and the stages of preparation of) One person should be able to carry it should be

The student is also expected to research food preparation methods and environment-friendly materials to build the camping kitchen.

Why This Concept

• An earthworm is a coelomic organism. They are internally and externally segmented, much like compartments in a bag

• The fluid-filled body cavity gives the needed support to the body acting as a hydrostatic skeleton. This bag is designed in a way the weight of the object inside it gives structure to the bag. This reduces the material weight of the bag.

• The segments of the earthworm body contract and relax to facilitate body movement This is used as inspiration for the collapsible travelfriendly design. Can easily be stored.
