Design Considerations
- I'm thinking the shelter could be included inside of a giant multi-purpose backpack, with an inflatable, easily foldable shelter (with a chargeable pump) that can be placed inside of backpack.
- Two backpacks to lighten the load, meant for a small nomadic family.
- Many different pockets with removable velcro "drawers", some up to interpretation (clothes, toiletries) while others include things like fire starters and first aid kits.
- Solar for device charging along with universal plugs.
- Instructions with pictures on how to set up the inflatable shelter.
- Inflatable shelter would probably be a dome, made of polyester material. Shelter would not cover the ground, only protection from the rain. Blankets made from plastic bags would be included.
- Cost could be a bit pricey but probably good in the longterm for survival.
Avery's design sketch
For my shelter project, I want to create a transportable shelter, including a griddle and solar power, and space to sleep.
It is premade, but can be unraveled and opened by the user.
