Portable Shelter
This shelter has been brought to our attention and I post it here in hopes of a discussion about any insights you all may have with regards to field shelters. The intent here is a portable and easily assembled shelter for a variety of conditions that can be used to support relief mission sets.

Sinjefe that is an interesting shelter and the company is just down the road I see. The sink and electrical are nice additions as well as the trailer aspect.
The owner of the company in another video mentioned the emergency shelter use, it seems DARPA is forwarding emergency shelter development to some degree. That makes sense when you see the aftermath of some of the recent disasters we have experienced here let alone in other parts of the world.
There is a broad spectrum of portability, man pack-able systems, air transport and drop-able, connex types, and mobile types. Having systems like electrical, generators, batteries/ inverters or DC systems, solar, water/plumbing, heating, cooking, communication, etc... bring added function. I am not seeing many designs out there that focus on the passive energies which would reduce weights the energy foot print.
We will probably see some interesting developments coming out of these concepts.

The trailer version is modular so it can actually be larger. I am going to buy a 5' x 12' utility trailer and buy the 5' x 10' trailer version with an extra roof and wall panel. A lot less expensive than a lot of recreational trailers and, when you aren't using it as a rec trailer, you can use it as a utility trailer.

Flat Pack Shelter Systems
Interesting models this company has and they are modular so you could scale them to your group. Of all the tiny homes I've seen this is one of the more expansive interiors I've seen. The site mentions a $45,000.00 price tag...I'm not sure what model?

I did read a critique that recommended a wider width... While that would open up some more possibilities, the concept is a flat pack shelter.
