What is the Nomadovation trend?
Nomadovation: Today's campers have so much more than simple tents and matches. For the modern nomad, there is a plethora of camping tools, devices and designs that make sleeping in the great outdoors a new and exciting experience. Instead of filling the void of technology and social connections, however, these camping innovations -- which range from eco-friendly lighting to hybrid tents -- simply augment the camping experience, making it easier rather than turning it into something it's not.
