Rain Pulse Peg

Rain Pulse Peg turns changing outdoor conditions into visible physical cues that are easy to check at camp. A tent peg that shows soil loosening and collects a simple rain-depth cue.

Design Overview

The Weather Trace Tools collection uses mechanical movement, color response and simple shadow geometry to supplement routine campsite observation without depending on a phone screen. Within this system, Rain Pulse Peg is focused on a tent peg that shows soil loosening and collects a simple rain-depth cue.

Why It Works

• Visible condition cue: The peg head contains a sliding rain cup connected to a visible collar.
• Low-complexity interaction: Rain fills the cup downward; lateral peg movement tilts a separate red collar, distinguishing rainfall from anchor loosening.
• Intended planning role: A tent peg that shows soil loosening and collects a simple rain-depth cue.
