Our project focuses on developing a safe, efficient backpacking heater addressing the 30 annual deaths and 450 injuries tied to improperly vented camping heaters. We aim to create a lightweight, marketable product that effectively heats a pre-existing insulated space while providing clean, warm air. Our design incorporates fume separation and considers key factors such as insulation and heat output. With insights from experts and extensive R&D, we are committed to crafting a product that ensures an enjoyable and safe outdoor experience for all campers.
