Handled
Outdoor Element Handled: camping pot gripper and fuel canister recycle tool – because you have your camp kitchen “handled”
Be prepared. Don’t burn yourself with your camping pot handles anymore. Be responsible and properly prep your fuel canister for recycle or disposal.
We ran into a couple of issues with our camp kitchen. …we burned our hands with the traditionally attached handles and we also did not know what to do with our empty fuel canisters. Those canisters are considered hazardous even when they are empty. Technically you cannot just toss them in the trash or put them in the recycle tub! The gas needs to be fully evacuated and then holes must be punctured in the can walls before it can go to the recycle center. We went to work and created Handled…cause now, you have your camp kitchen handled.
With the recycle prep tool built directly into the pot-gripper handle, it also serves as an educational piece, reminding the outdoor enthusiast that they need to deal with the canister once it is empty.
Outdoor Element just started a Kickstarter campaign for Handled, refer to Kickstarter_Handled
Did you see those large silicone lugs! Not only does it offer excellent grip, but it also is scratch-resistant, and offers great protection for your camping pots!
Is it hard to disassemble or does it take a long time? …nope, you got this handled!
Screw the nut on the top of your fuel canister. The center stem will depress the Lindal valve removing the rest of the gas. Disassembles in seconds.
After the fuel canister is completely empty, puncture holes in the canister (using the nut as the pivot point) to ensure gas is completely gone and you are then safe to dispose of it. Recycle where you can.
Is Handled hard to put back together? …of course not. …do you have 6 seconds? It really does assemble in seconds.
We are working closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure as much sustainability as possible. We will be using recycled paper board in our packaging and minimize the amount of plastic if any at all.
