This may not be the first portable tent concept, but that doesn't mean the Temp-Pack isn't unique. This convenient, portable disaster relief accessory offers shelter for those in need, as well as a backpack for what few possessions they have.
Designed by Asher Dunn, the Temp-Pack is made out of recycled plastic and is comprised of two parts: a door and a body. When compacted, it can be pulled on wheels or strapped on one's back. Ultimately, the Temp-Pack will protect until a more permanent solution arises.
