2019

Our award-winning and patented SHIFTPOD has been proven all over worldwide inâ&#x20AC;¨ the harshest environments â&#x20AC;¨ on the planet!

SHIFTPOD What makes us revolutionary? Research in the field led us to our newest innovation, a stealth fabric that uses a 12-layer DARK-OUT material. Made of super composite with synthetic down thermal insulation and a highly reflective UV protective layer, this material reflects and blocks more light so you sleep better, even in bright sun.

ABOUT THE SHIFTPOD — Video

If you’re a weekend warrior, festival goer, overlander or survivor in need of the best shelter, you can trust we’ve got you covered.

our architectural design was in part   inspired by buckminster fuller’s concept of the geodesic dome.

The other inspiration was the Hexayurt design by Vinay Gupta, a student of Bucky Fuller. Following the smart geometry of the hexagon, we naturally fortify our pods with nature’s strongest design. Our approach innovation to incorporates sustainable solutions to various human challenges. Within the structure of our pods we integrate poles and parts. Like a kid’s geodesic ball, our pods open with simplicity and ease. Setup can take a mere 22 seconds, and, yes, they’re just as easy to take down.

SHIFTPOD

INSPIRATION

Advanced Shelter Systems grew out of a leisure and lifestyle requirement for festival goers around the globe paired with a desire to help those in need. We started with a simple concept: Buy a shelter, have fun and help others. For every 20 shelters sold we donate one to someone in need. As villages of SHIFTPODS were deployed at festivals worldwide, first responders and relief agencies took notice. This led to the development of the RESPONSEPOD and SHELTERPODs. Designed in partnership with some of the largest users and providers of temporary shelters in the world, our SHELTERPODs have been purpose-built to be the most rapidly deployable and robust shelter solutions for disaster response and recovery operations on this planet! We provide scalable shelter needs: From housing a single family to supporting thousands of responders, refugees or internally displaced persons, Advanced Shelter Systems has a solution. Production is in full swing and we are shipping orders now.

SETUP

SLEEPS 2 TO 6 Now you can take a little bit of home with you wherever you go.

Whether you use a queen  size airbed for two or fit   six 6-ft-tall people.

COMFORT

The SHIFTPOD2 has two doors and six portal—style windows with fine mesh screen to keep out pesky little bugs. It also sports two screened AC vents.

Tip: Remember to keep your windows and vents open for air. For best airflow, line up the vents with the prevailing winds. This will push air in one vent and out the other. Always maintain good airflow,  so you don't suffocate.

For the off   road warrior

SHIFTPOD2 is ideal. Throw it into the back of your truck for a rally or a race, or if you’re off on the dunes, our PODs hold their own in the shifting sands, blowing winds, or those dirty mud races. Our POD’s zip—in bottom liner is easy to clean, and our new tougher zippers are easier to attach. Our fine mesh screens on the windows and doors also keep the little pesky bugs at bay.

WIND—RESISTANT Festivals take you to the extremes of both fun and weather. In blazing-hot summers, at a place like Burning Man, winds kick up quickly. Most tents are incapable of withstanding these gusts head-on.   But SHIFTPODs have been tested  in winds up to 100 MPH – a major  reason we're considered the best   shelter on the planet.

The units are metal and very durable. Unlike storebought AC units, these won’t create a vacuum or pull the airout of the SHIFTPOD. Most store-bought AC units robair from the the room and blow it outside, which is inefficient and can cause tents or hexayurts to collapse. Since 9 out of 10 units we tested had this issue, we realized our customers needed better! That’s why we designed these.

TIPS

cooling down your shiftpod What Air Conditioning Units can be used in the SHIFTPOD? Why can’t you use just any AC system? Here are the details... Most portable AC systems remove air from the room while they are cooling. In a house, this is not a problem because there are many cracks and places for air to flow. But your dust-resistant, water-resistant SHIFTPOD is very well sealed! So if your AC unit sucks air out of a well-sealed space, it can actually vacuum seal you inside. Not fun! Instead, we strive to balance getting fresh air with not pulling unwanted dust into the SHIFTPOD.   There are a few (very few) suitable ACs units that suck less air out of the space. One of them is the Whynter 12000 BTU Dual-Hose Portable Air Conditioner. These run between $350 and $450 and work well. If you use it once a year in dusty desert conditions, it may last a few years.

Warning: Don’t use a consumer-grade "off the shelf" AC unit (without modification) with the SHIFTPOD, without first verifying it will not create a vacuum that will collapse the SHIFTPOD.

how to wash your shiftpod 1. Remove your floor and wash it in a large washing machine or by hand with mild detergent and 2–5% vinegar/water solution. DO NOT MACHINE DRY! You will end up with a ball of plastic that does not bounce. LINE DRY ONLY.  2. Set up and anchor your SHIFTPOD. (We like to wash ours on the grass and dry on a tarp in our parking lot or on a patio). Clean it with warm soapy water. (Dr. Bronner's soap works great!) You can also mix in a 2–5% vinegar solution to get alkaline dust and dirt off of the SHIFTPOD. Make sure to clean the zipper too. Use a soft cloth to wash and wipe. Rinse with clean water.  3. DRY OUT your SHIFTPOD COMPLETELY. Use a fan to move the air and or a heater if it is not a hot day. Dry it twice as long as you think you should. Our fabric system is complex and has many layers. This needs to be considered when drying it out.  4. Re-read step 3: Dry, Dry, Dry your SHIFTPOD before packing it up for the winter. 5. Please refer to online resources and content for further information and visual instructions.

do not ever… 1. Do not use heavy duty cleaners that may damage fabric coating as they may be too aggressive or abrasive. Don't use hard bristled brushes or high-powered pressure washers.  2. Do not put it away wet! Like any other fabric, SHIFTPOD fabric can mildew! We do not ship them with mildew... so if you find mildew it is because you grew it! Mildew spores are everywhere and they take any chance they get to grow on anything moist.  3. Do not dry your SHIFTPOD on a wet lawn and expect that it will dry completely. Green grass is wet.  4. Do not set up or drag your SHIFTPOD on concrete or asphalt driveways without a tarp or other protection underneath. While the bases are protected and easy to repair, continuous grinding can wear away the lower pole pockets.  5. Do not assume the wind will not be a problem while you are cleaning or drying your SHIFTPOD! The wind can come up without notice and take your SHIFTPOD away! Make sure you secure your SHIFTPOD while tending to it.  6. Do not set-up your SHIFTPOD with the fat end down. This will set-up the SHIFTPOD insideout and ruin your day. Always set-up with the skinny end down. Note the RED TAG.

SPONSOR veteran reintegration organization  with Veterans and Civilians working together

Team Overland is a nonprofit organization based in Southern Oregon that guides outdoor adventures as an outlet for veterans to overcome challenges associated with service-related physical and mental health disabilities, and to facilitate veteran reintegration back into civilian society. On the Trail: Team Overland guides outdoor adventures and hosts campouts for veterans, veteran families, and kick ass civilian supporters. Team Overland is unique in that it is not exclusive to just those who served in the military. We want to have an impact on veteran reintegration and we believe that it is only possible by having an organization with veterans and civilians working together. At Team Overland, we value and lean on our non-military members. We noticed early on that

civilians were passionate about sharing the burden of service. We have found that our approach builds bonds between those who served and those who didn't, through the shared interests of outdoor adventure and teamwork on the trail. On the trail, we work as a team to overcome the obstacles encountered on the way to our destinations. Around camp we have a saying, “the fire facilitates,” meaning we don’t provide therapy or plan any set questions for guests. We light the fire and it facilitates conversation and forms connections. From the point when we meet up until the time we return home, guests have everything they need provided for them, including all meals catered and any camping gear needed. On the trip, guests have the option to ride with a Team Overland Trail Guide or bring their own truck as long as it meets our minimum safety standards ( determined based on trail difficulty).
