Skills Used :
Research, Sketching, Fushion360, Prototyping, Keyshot
demographic target : traditional campers
Context | ​
Campers use different types of campfire gear to set up a campfire The step-by-step tasks delivered by the user can become tedious over time. Some tools they use and carry around are campfire rings, hatchets, and flint and steel.
