pakk - Evolving the Camping Experience

Project Statement

Pakk is an eco-conscious camp cooking unit for individuals who have limited equipment and experience. Provincial and national parks across Canada have seen a drastic increase in park visitors due to social media trends and the current Covid-19 pandemic. Traffic congestion, increase in waste, human traffic and poor camping etiquette are all putting strain on both the park staff and its environment. Pakk is a rentable unit which promotes the use of bicycles on park grounds while providing campers with reliable equipment to encourage a leave no trace camping practice.
