The inception of this idea traces back to a weekend spent in the Pacific Northwest. A planned hike was abruptly altered due to unfavorable weather conditions, necessitating an on-the-spot change in our itinerary. The availability of daylight became pivotal in crafting the adjusted hike plan. Although we managed to determine the sunset time and adapt our day accordingly, the applications we used and the overall experience left much to be desired in terms of flexibility and elegance.
Amidst the breathtaking natural scenery during our modified hike, the seed of an idea sprouted. This led to the birth of Terra Sol, a concept aimed at addressing the challenges we encountered earlier in the day. This case study explores how Terra Sol was conceived and developed to enhance the outdoor adventure experience.
