It's not really something you can pack up and move from location to location too easily. It is better then a tent, comfort wise, but not portability.

No, you didn't miss it. This concept is intended for DIY from locally found materials when needed.

This link will explain better (I hope).......

I loved that slogan on the website:
"Redefining Home for the Bottom Four Billion"

Ya know, I have a pretty good tent--think I'll hang on to it. Packs up nice and small.

Like my canvas 12 by 12 pavilion. Have had it for 8 years and still looks fine. No leaks or anything. Have a cris-cros style of bed frame that holds two twin mattresses. I put in carpets and have plastic containers that go in under the bed frame and a pole that is for hanging clothes. Even have tapestries and hang on the walls and a light that hangs off the middle pole and lanterns. Night and comfy til it gets real cold out. Doesn't pack up as nice and small as a regular tent, cause of the poles but not too bad
