That's essentially built like a portable ice fishing hut. I will check the venting ability, but it looks as though I've found a secondary use for mine. Great to see you back online.
That humidity will kill you. I would update the Sleep System you use, using it to stay warm. Then keep one of the vents open to get air and reduce humidity. Good to see you back, although the circumstances suck.
There are dehumidifier crystals that are meant for hanging in your closet. Why not try a couple of those. Also, what about a 1 cubic foot wood stove or an ammo can wood stove? That's what I'd do. Lol Great vids!
Its strictly insulative. This will melt like a candle in no time if near direct fire. I wouldn't even be near a camp fire in fear of embers burning holes into it.
dude im going to school in chico rn i worked hf making call back to peoples wifes / family i was also taking wildland fire at butte collage when they came to use it as a fire base or FOB
I just got one of these and noticed that at each corner there's a hole in the wall above the zipper. The holes are big enough to fit a few fingers through and you can touch the ground. How does this keep water / bugs / dust out? These holes are huge and I'm surprised that no one's noticed them. I've never had a tent with holes in it. If I tried to use this where I live in Ohio the thing would be full of Daddy Long Leg's within an hour. My wife didn't' zip up a corner of my normal tent one time and by the time I realized that my tent had been unzipped just a few inches for a few hours there were literally *hundreds* of spiders in the tent. Even after I thought I got rid of all of them I was still pulling one running across my face every few minutes all night... It was miserable. I'm returning the tent, hoping this is somehow a defect. But if it's designed to have holes in it there's no way I would recommend it as a shelter.
I just found the shift pod a week ago because I was looking for the absolute BEST Four Season shelter because I want to combine it with my invention, a Rocket Stove (in the-ground) Earthen Thermal Mass Heating System! It will heat a 100 +/- shelter easily, AND It will help keep it cool in summer also because Earth temps are always lower than ambient temperature... Tested in multiple locations king of hammers burning Man a lot of emergency situations they've improving intestine that's what I want to work with. They used YKK zippers and carbon graphite hubs and struts I was so impressed with her system just blown away like I had envisioned, EXACTLY what I envisioned An Ice Fishing Shelter Hub on steroids, that will be good for all ALL seasons Cold and hot weather both and high winds which I think we're going to be having to deal with more and more they're like a perfect emergency shelter and that's what I've been looking for for 20 years actually since I had a picture burned into my mind about 40 years ago of a bunch of tents across a pastor and I KNEW that they were refugees and if I didn't do something to help them they would die and then in the year 2000, 20 years later I had a powerful, -like real-time real-life Technicolor -like-I-was-there, vision of an underground house and a homeless Family. That shook up my world, charged me up and set me on a course that's included a website, a book, and a RUclips channel ALL with the same name; How To Get Out Of Babylon and ALL trying to figure out how to help homeless people in horrible and emergency situations. I think this is what I've come to other than building houses underground we need to have some shelter that will absolutely stand up to high winds and snow and ice and extreme temperatures; we will see heat and cold and this is like the most PERFECT thing I've ever found; "Space Age Tent for Space Age Conditions!!!"
Wow! thank you for the rain test. That is what i was waiting! Yeeeeey perfect! Im convinced! Im getting a shiftpod. Again thank you.
Great deployment of the Shiftpod. Thanks for your service on the ‘Camp’ fire in Butte Co, Ca.
I was on this fire! I remember seeing your tent! I was working the clerical copy trailer!
Great radio tent, the power line hole near the floor is also great for routing coax in and out of. Use em for field days a lot.
That's essentially built like a portable ice fishing hut. I will check the venting ability, but it looks as though I've found a secondary use for mine. Great to see you back online.
I’m so glad you are back!!!!
Missed you man. Thanks for the video.
Nice setup. Well laid out and explained
Merry Christmas Ed to you and yours from all us in Doncaster UK mate!
Thanks a lot and same to you yours and more. Keep it rocksteady...
That humidity will kill you. I would update the Sleep System you use, using it to stay warm. Then keep one of the vents open to get air and reduce humidity.
Good to see you back, although the circumstances suck.
I cant with the humidity also. I would open the vent too if i was inside.
Great to have you back bro.
Dude, WTH... I PM'd you, too, probably right before this came out. I had no idea...!
Good to see you back brother, get some rest! Hope you dont have to play COMT for the rest of the year!
Thanks... I hope not either, but if the need is there, there is no other place I'd rather be. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video and good to hear from you again mate - stay safe!
good to see you man ! insane video footage of that fire, really sad. looks like a sweet tent for sure ! hope you been well bro man !
LOL at "Lunar Lander looking thing" @5:30ish.. hahaha, still watching
Any update one this. How is it holding up, how is the durability???
Glad youre back man!

Not a breathable shelter obviously but it does look roomy ! Thanks for sharing !
Very interesting many thanks.
Good video. Gland to see one from you.
is the simplex repeater still serving.you.to this day? please advise
looks like a great set up.
Humidity build up should be no surprise with all vents and windows closed
Would you still recommend this tent to people looking to buy one?
Nice ShiftPod. Terrible fire.
Is the tents insulation intended to be fire-retardant or strictly insulative? Pretty cool setup.
Its strictly insulative. This will melt like a candle in no time if near direct fire. I wouldn't even be near a camp fire in fear of embers burning holes into it.
What is the temp meter that you used?
Therm Pro, on Amazon really cheap. Batteries last a long time.

Man that looks roomy then a small guard shack. I'm surprised you did tie a 110v ac converted powered by solar panel.
Don't have the time, but the gears are turning to figure something out... Thanks for watching.
No problem, when a person like what you face everyday,, staying safe takes priority over having comforts of home.
A Busy Marine like you, I know you have time. Semper Fi and Thanks for your Service then and now.
Nice
do you have email I can ask you a question?
living in the lap of luxury dude. A cot? Airmatress? Where's the lavatory and commode?
Lavatory and commode are too uncivilized, I roll with a bidet. lol. Thanks for watching.

Jesus Christ this was so damn long winded. Get to the f’ing point and enough with the rambling.
