Now this is so neat. It be great if they had inflatable cabin shelters as well. :)

Italian nuns set up inflatable church to save the souls of beach bums (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2507020/Italian-nuns-set-up-inflatable-church-to-save-the-souls-of-beach-bums.html)

Now I want one of these !!


Concrete Canvas have developed a ground breaking material technology called Concrete Cloth that allows concrete to be used in a completely new way. Concrete Cloth was originally developed for the award winning Concrete Canvas Shelters, a building in a bag that requires only water and air for construction.

that 16 meter one looks great. i wonder how much they cost.

[canid]

in fact, it's probably overly expensive, given the 10 year projected maximum life. i'd love to look into developing something like this. probably never will, but it'll kill many fine hours in research.

The Germans are going one up on the British with this kind of method:

This is stupid IMO, build the dang cabin if you want one using natural resources, trees amke good cabins. An inflatable anything is useless unless it Ricks inflatable girlfriend :D tents should be made of tarp or like materials, not all this gizmo crap.

That's not very nice. You know I don't have an inflatable girl friend. By the time I get her toes inflated I've passed out from the huffin' and puffin'.

Sooooooo - she kind of went flat on ya? Man, that'll let the wind out of your sails.

[canid]

did you read the product info?

one you set it up it's fiber-reenforced concrete. they're using this material for feild expedient tarmac for cargo planes and helecopters.

I was referring to Rick's blow up doll.

You can blow it up with hot air, by attaching a hose to your local congressman.

They had one in the Book and Movie, The mad trapper of Rat river.

You know what they say, "if you have to ask the price you can't afford it."

You could replace the porta-deer stand with a concrete shelter stand.
