# Multipurpose Camp Tents The 'flying tent' Features a Four-in-One Design for Comfy Camping By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-04-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-tent References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/flying-tent-hammock-poncho/42728/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/255929858/flying-tent-7-seconds-to-the-stars) There's not much to camp tents other than a single usage, so the 'flying tent' is designed to change this. Packing four different uses into one design, the 'flying tent' operates as a traditional tent, a floating tent, a [hammock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anymaka-hammock-tent) and even a rain poncho. The need for flexible solutions when camping is apparent, yet the industry has remained relatively unchanged with tents still operating in a one-dimension territory. The 'flying tent' looks to change perceptions of how gear can be made to offer enhanced capabilities and cost savings. The 'flying tent' is currently being funded via a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-camping-shelters) campaign where a pledge of €99 will get you one of the camp tents of your very own when the campaign finishes up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Multipurpose Camping Gear:** Designing camping gear with multiple uses and functionalities opens up opportunities for versatile outdoor experiences. - **Enhanced Camping Comfort:** Incorporating innovative features into camping equipment to provide increased comfort and convenience offers potential for disrupting the camping industry. - **Sustainable Outdoor Products:** Developing eco-friendly camping gear that minimizes environmental impact presents opportunities for disruption in the outdoor industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** Creating multipurpose camping gear can transform the outdoor recreation industry by providing customers with versatile and adaptable products. - **E-commerce:** Selling innovative camping gear online offers new opportunities for the e-commerce industry to cater to outdoor enthusiasts looking for unique products. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Incorporating advanced materials and technologies into camping gear production can revolutionize the textile manufacturing industry in terms of durability and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multipurpose Camping Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-camping-shelters.md) - [Expansive Multipurpose Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-tents.md) - [Wearable Poncho-Style Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onetigris-tentsformer.md) - [Four-Season Inflatable Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourseason-inflatable-tent.md) - [Inflatable Four-Season Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-station-pod01.md) - [Fastidious Four-Season Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourseason-tent.md) - [Inflatable Geodesic Adventure Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerogogo-aerotent-series.md) - [Oversized Cave-Like Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heimplanet-cave-xl-tent.md) - [Modular Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backpacking-tent-concept.md)
