Excellent Cookability

Incredibly Versatile Deep Pot

This deep pot can boil, cook, and simmer, making it versatile for all types of cooking. Its rounded rectangular shape is the ultimate form designed for solo camping versatility.

Versatile Frying Pan

The frying pan is designed to be deep, allowing for cooking not only grilled and stir-fried dishes but also those with a lot of liquid, expanding your culinary options.

Great for Ready-to-Eat Meals

The size is carefully designed to accommodate single-serving retort pouches and instant noodles for easy boiling and cooking.

Developed Simultaneously with the Fire Pit

Developed simultaneously with the NINJA Firestand Solo, The TRAILPOT offers high stability and space efficiency, allowing you to enjoy campfire cooking with confidence.

High Storage Efficiency

The Concept of a Pot as Gear Container

Focused on storage efficiency for transport, the dimensions were carefully chosen to accommodate various cooking tools. It can fit a 110 size gas cartridge, and using a frying pan as a lid, it can also store a 250 can size, truly making it a gear container.

The Pleasure of a Perfect Fit

One of the joys of using the TRAILPOT is creating your own personalized kitchen set. Start by placing your favorite items inside, and you’ll be amazed by the Cinderella fit.

Your Travel Companion

The square shape fits well in backpacks, making it suitable for hiking and human-powered travel like cycling.

Doesn't Clash with Camping Gear

It pairs well with other camping gear and fits neatly into its case, making it ideal for car camping and solo adventures.

Meticulously Crafted Design

Stability, Security, Safety

The stable shape can be used safely over a campfire or burner. The butterfly-shaped handle is about 13 cm long, designed to minimize heat transfer to the hand.

Easy Maintenance and Convenience

The bottom of the frying pan features a ribbed design that prevents sticking and enhances strength. Both the frying pan and deep pot are coated with easy-to-clean fluorine resin.

Makes Rice Delicious

The deep pot has a practical capacity of 1 liter (1.2 liters when full), with measurement markings indicating every 200 ml up to 1000 ml. It can cook up to two cups of rice, with specific water level markings for rice cooking.

Not Just a Lid

The lid's knob is designed to be easily grasped with gloves or tongs, and the edges are raised about 15mm to allow the lid to double as a plate.

Bags Take Center Stage

The storage bag stands upright for stress-free access. It can also be used as a place to set ingredients, seasonings, and utensils during cooking. Made with protective cushioning material.

Maximum effect with minimal materials

The material used is 1mm thick aluminum. This design minimizes waste while maintaining strength and durability, achieving a lightweight of 440g for the three-piece set.

PRODUCT MOVIE

DESIGNER'S VOICE

"These days, there just aren’t any interesting cookers coming out. The times can’t keep up with me."

One of our staff members said that, and it really fired up my designer spirit. This guy has over 100 cookers at home and is a self-proclaimed gear geek. I wanted to create something that would impress him, and that’s how this project got started.

First, we had to figure out the basics: round or square? What size? How deep? What kind of handle? Digging into these details is always the most fun and exciting part of the design process for me. Then, we started narrowing things down. Instead of working with a sewing machine, I was drilling holes, cutting aluminum sheets, and basically turning the studio into a metal workshop. After lots of discussions with the team, we settled on a square cooker. Once we decided on the concepts of "a perfect fit" and "making delicious meals with convenience store ingredients," the design process really took off, and by 2020, we had a final design.

The delay in launching was because finding the right factory and scaling up production was a real challenge. It took a lot of time to get the quality just right. Working with a factory that specializes in cookers was completely different from our usual backpack manufacturers, and then the pandemic slowed everything down even more. We ended up changing factories a few times, redoing molds each time, which only added to the delays. This project turned out to be the most time-consuming and costly one we’ve ever worked on in terms of initial investment, development costs, and labor.

During all this, solo camping became popular, the Mess tin became a trend, and then the trend started to cool off. So commercially, we’re definitely late to the party. But honestly, I’m not too worried about it because we’ve created something so useful and timeless. After starting this in 2018, we’ve finally made it to the launch. I can’t wait for all the gear geeks out there who love a good perfect fit to give it a try.

Let’s pack and go!
