# Portable Wilderness Whirlpools The Nomad Hot Tub Lets You Bring a Jacuzzi to the Jungle By Michael Hines | Published 2014-08-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-hot-tub References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/nomad-collapsible-hot-tub/33410/) & [theoriginalnomad](http://theoriginalnomad.com/) Those who like the idea of the great outdoors but who can't stand the idea of living without the comforts of home will love the Nomad Hot Tub. This collapsible hot tub is made by The Original Nomad, a company based in Portland, Oregon. The Nomad Hot Tub packs in 225 gallons of water and stands just over two feet tall. The complete package includes a heating coil that runs using wood or natural gas. All told the hot tub weighs 45 pounds, which isn't terrible when you consider the fact that most hot tubs weigh much, much more. The Original Nomad estimates that one propane tank should provide enough heat for up to six hours in the winter and eight in the summer. The Nomad Hot Tub complete package, including heating coil, is being sold for $999. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Hot Tubs:** Opportunity to disrupt the traditional hot tub industry by creating more portable and collapsible designs. - **Eco-friendly Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity to create eco-friendly recreational products that allow people to enjoy the outdoors with minimal disruption to the environment. - **Smart Heating Technology:** Opportunity to integrate smart heating technology into portable hot tubs for optimal energy efficiency and user convenience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Recreation:** Companies can capitalize on the growing demand for outdoor recreational activities and create innovative products like the Nomad Hot Tub. - **Sustainable Living:** Companies can target consumers who are interested in sustainable living and outdoor recreation by creating eco-friendly products like collapsible hot tubs. - **Smart Home Technology:** Companies can integrate smart home technology into recreational products like portable hot tubs to create a more seamless outdoor experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fire-Powered Hot Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-burning-hot-tub.md) - [Off-Grid Wooden Hot Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodfired-hot-tubs.md) - [Ocean-Centric Portable Jacuzzis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacuzzi.md) - [Hot Tub Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacruzzi.md) - [Rustic Fire-Powered Hot Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodfired-hot-tub.md) - [Portable Cold Plunge Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-plunge-tub.md) - [Scheduled Water Boilers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nomad.md) - [Portable Exterior Sauna Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-tent-spa.md) - [Portable Cold Plunge Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cold-plunge-tub.md)
