OUR STORY Advanced Shelter Systems grew out of 25 years of extreme camping experiences in some of the most extreme environments in the world. Adopted by festival goers and fueled by a desire to help those in need, we started with a simple ethos; buy a shelter, have fun and help others in need. For every 20 shelters sold we donate to a family 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, SHELTERPOD and CAMP-IN-A-CONTAINER.

Designed in partnership with some of the largest users and providers of temporary shelters in the world, our SHELTERPODs and RESPONSEPODs 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 displaced persons, Advanced Shelter Systems has a solution.

camp-in-a-container

Designed for Emergency Response

MISSIONS SETUP TIME Record setup of 22 seconds! Setup time of seconds to mere minutes with one person. No special tools and no training required. Establish a camp within hours.

WIND-RESISTANT Due to its geometric design the RESPONSEPODs can stand up to sustained winds of more than 50 MPH! In a recent demonstration our shelters survived sustained winds of over 100 MPH. VIEW VIDEO CLIP HERE (ONLINE VERSION)

REFLECTIVE With a new synthetic down micro-fiber insulation our composite super-fabrics reflect and retain heat better than ever and even dampen outside noise.

INSULATION Patented insulation, reflects or retains heat depending on the need Our advanced proprietary fabric technology is comprised of a 12-layer super composite reflective fabric that will help maintain a comfortable environment. Stay warmer in the cold and cooler in the heat.

SCALABLE Connect using our patented tunnel systems. Customize your footprint on the go to meet your sheltering needs. Our PODs provide a multi-mission capability ranging from individual PODs to “clusters” to meet your mission requirements.

responder-focused features Meticulously thought out features have been designed with first responder needs in mind. Removable floors permit cleaning, disposable floor covers allow sanitary triage or treatment, and use without the floor allows the RESPONSEPOD to be placed directly over a casualties without interruption. A “bay door” accommodates two Strykers side by side or can be used for ADA access. Heat or cold a factor?

Our RESPONSEPODs have built-in ports and are HVAC ready.

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).

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.
