Interesting, but look at the cost vs. everything else that would have to be added. Way out of my range!

[Skyowl's Wife]

Won't fit in the BOB, will it? ;)

[slowz1k]

That's probably one of the coolest things I've seen in months! Expensive... Yes. But a very very good idea. Thanks for the post!!!!

[TheLastMountainMan]

Cool. Couldn't afford one, but still cool.

[monet861]

I like it, need to dig out the backyard and bury one.

[Snow Walker]

It is very cool, but wow the price. I'm curious as to how much weight it would actually support when being covered with earth????

My first comment was a bit harsh because the shelter seemed too restricted and its own defense.

Now I wonder if this was designed to be a small hospital or aid station type thing and for medical purposes possibly in a combat zone. It reminds me of the older quonset huts of my day. They mention it being a sterile environment and all and I like a very clean place just not needing to be sterile.

In any case not my cup of tea but we each have different wants and needs for ourselves. I know I have a specific situation to deal with and the concrete shelter might be perfect for others.

they offer a sterile interior model for a temp hospital/ surgical room.

Went to wimp.com to look at a concrete tent been watching random videos ever since.

The tent was a cool idea for the military or those with deep pockets as far as a sterile environment go!! Thanks Echo2

But like Johnnie l , I too checked out some of the other vids and I saw the most amazing wing suit performance ever

imagine the applications in a hostile area or if you were being pursued during a mountain recon
AMAZING ... I am sure it took a lot of practice to get to be that good ..WOW!
