A Piece of History in Your Camp

The tripod is one of the oldest and most ingenious inventions for food preparation. Its simple yet incredibly stable design was known to our ancient ancestors. It has been used for millennia, from ancient civilizations through medieval military camps to the great hearths of castles. For Roman legionaries, pilgrims, and settlers, a folding field tripod was a fundamental piece of mobile equipment that allowed them to prepare a hot meal almost anywhere.

Fun Fact: The Oracle of Delphi and the Symbolism of the Tripod

Did you know that the tripod was more than just a piece of kitchen equipment? In ancient Greece, it held deep symbolic meaning. The most famous was the Pythian Tripod at the Oracle of Delphi, on which the priestess Pythia sat to deliver her prophecies. The tripod thus became a symbol of prophecy, wisdom, and divine inspiration. Your camping tripod carries with it a legacy not only of practicality but also of ancient mystery.

Care Instructions to Last for Ages ✨

This tripod is built to withstand rough handling. With minimal care, it will serve you faithfully for many years.

Cleaning

After use and once it has completely cooled, clean the tripod of soot and food residue, ideally with a wire brush.

Storage

Store it in a dry place to prevent surface rust. The product is not designed to be permanently left outdoors exposed to rain and other elements.
