10 Ideas Blog

The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose YourselfEach week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions.  This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.

In this installment of 10 ideas, we were inspired by the nature around us! We have been doing a lot of fun fall activities so we wanted to share our ideas about staying warm during the colder months, and some innovative camping hacks!

Terran on Camping Ideas

My ideas this week were focused entirely on creating the best camping experience! Some of my ideas include a tent that inflates with air for easy set up and repels bugs, pre-made hotdogs and s’mores for a yummy campfire dinner, and a flash light that turns into a headlamp. When it gets darker and time to settle in, it would be convenient to have a t-shirt that turned into a long sleeve and a hat that turned into a pillow. I think these ideas would be GREAT for our next camping trip!

River on Camping Ideas

Camping can be done at all times of year, so I came up with some ideas for the colder months. I thought it would be a good idea to have a gloveless coat with an attached ski mask for snowboarding, skiing, or sledding. On snow days, we can whip out our shoes that attach to small sleds. While we are splitting logs for the campfire, we can go ahead and find the perfect tree to make a bed out of. We can fill it with blankets and a pillow making it a great spot to rest at the end of a long, cold day!
