Hello, I am an Industrial Design student currently working on a new hiking shelter/information system for my senior thesis.
I'd like to ask this community how they feel about technology and hiking?
Aside from a GPS what other tech. do you bring?
How do you feel about bringing a social networking environment into the hiking world via "Smart Shelters"?
What would you recommend to improve traditional hiking shelters?
Or am I missing a point? Is the point to go back to nature and not have any tech. around you?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
