Volunteer fire brigades and aid organisations
On aid trips or at field sites there is often no fast portable shelter that leaves the vehicle roof free. Fabric is not enough when it is windy or wet, or when the inside has to be closed for the night.
We are preparing a pilot of a rigid cabin carried in a compact tow-hitch box and unfolded on site. Closed, hard walls give a warmer and safer inside than fabric, and the folded box takes little room in transport. With partners we set safe-use rules and care. Structural details are discussed away from the public site.
