The Shiftpod was originally created for new age hippies partying at Burning Man, but now they’re being used by refugees and disaster preparedness groups.
Shiftpod creator Christian Weber started by making his shelters for friends headed to Burning Man, but soon realized the innovative pods could provide warmth and safety for displaced people. So he launched his own company, Advanced Shelter Systems Inc (ASSI), in California, and from the beginning decided to donate one Shiftpod for every 20 sold.
