Happy to say, we have a new intern program associated with University of Colorado at Boulder. Welcome to our newest contributor, Connor Neary, who’ll be graduating in May 2012 with a Bachelors Degree in Environmental Sciences.

While most tents allow you to escape the technology found in civilization, the Orange Solar Concept Tent designed by Orange UK and the product design consultancy, Kaleidescope, would allow you to take your geeky creature comforts with you into the wild. The tent sports three slick solar panels on the roof, which can be rotated to collect the most possible energy depending on the position of the
sun.

This energy can then be used to charge computers, game consoles, cameras, or any number of other electronics. Nothing like a scenic location for your epic Stumbleupon sessions. In addition to these charging capabilities, the tent also comes equipped with a wireless device control center, with the total energy being displayed on a LCD screen. And if all this wasn’t enough to keep you comfortable during your “get-away”, the tent also provides an internal heating element embedded in the moisture-proof cloth. Not quite roughing it, huh?
