Emergency shelter $100--video clip

Clip would not embed. Someone please embed.

Bright yellow is the wrong color to blend into the woods or the bush...

hippy liberal garbage

With a few cans of spray paint, make it any outside color you want. Apply some glue and coat with local dirt to make it blend in with surroundings.

Yellow is a horrible color, agree with that. Also, that looks like plastic, how are you going to put a small heater in that thing without it catching fire or melting?

Thanks for the embed and the BUMP!

Agree, bad color. Tent manufacturers don't realize there is a huge survivalist market out there that doesn't want their bright colors.

The material used, Coroplast, comes in White, Black, Yellow, Blue, Green, Natural, Granby Blue, and JM Gray [link to www.coroplast.com]

Now that I've watched it, that thing is way kool........

Thanks for the bump, but this thread is probably headed for never never land.
Happy that a few hundred watched the clip. Maybe someone will build one.

Oh wow cool...

That is homeless incubator. You put one, they come out 11.

It's a low cost stay out of FEMA camp idea....

how the fuck do you make one and with what fucking materials?

WOW, this must be the AMERICAN dream!

Checked comments under clip at youtube. Plan details available at bottom of his website here: [link to www.elkinsdiy.com]

I'd like to see a bear pushed inside with him and the door locked from the outside.

Thank you, that is very interesting!

Thanks for the 5 star votes. This thread has not died after all.

Coroplast does not stand up to UV light very well. Gets brittle in a matter of months. A temporary shelter.

I didn't watch entire video, but looks to me like he just tipped over a porta-john..

Just paint the exterior with a UV-resistant paint. Problem solved.

people bashing yellow... what else would you pick? black? green? if anything, I'd want it in "tan" or something light. If you go with black, you'll roast alive in that thing in the summer sun. Or.. you'll have issues getting light inside.

just some food for thought.

Bright yellow attracts insects. Good to pick a light color that lets light through though.

temporary is right... I guess when your done you could advertise coke or pepsi on it and place at a gas station!!

For that price build a different color every three months.Snow pack it like an igloo.
