Lightweight
Revolutionairy AirBeam technology
Thanks to revolutionary AirBeam technology with Dyneema fibers, the inflatable tent is significantly lighter than alternatives. The patent pending AirBeam joints ensure improved ruggedness, wind stability and even cost effectiveness.
The tent fabric itself is made from lightweight but durable ripstop SilPoly, resulting in a weight of just under 10kg per tent.
Depending on matter of transport, the total weight is between 10-15 kg, including bag/duffel, pump, pegs and hammer.
Backpack
Thanks to its lightweight design and convenient packaging, the tent can be carried as a backpack.
The backpack also includes a pump, allowing the tent to be inflated in under five minutes.
It comes with tent pegs and even has space for a hammer.
Sustainability and transport
Working closely with RescueNet’s field teams, Gert Jan’s design was evaluated from both practical and organizational perspectives to ensure it meets the real-world challenges teams face.
The result?
A purpose-built, easy-to-deploy tent that empowers aid workers and humanitarian organisations to set up quickly in critical environments, helping them respond faster and more effectively.
As RescueNet’s Head of Logistics, Gert Jan knows firsthand the challenges of reaching and operating in disaster-stricken areas. Traditionally tents and field hospitals are among the biggest materials to transport, therefore it takes longer to deploy, more large equipment to ship and it’s usually a big hassle to get things there as quick as they are needed.
The Disaster Response Tent by Dirty Boots is a great solution to this problem. It is:
Compact
Fits in a backpack, duffle or crate
Lightweight
Easy to carry, reduces costs of transportation
Quick to setup
Because of the inflatable beams, the tent is ready for use in just 5 minutes
Asset to aid
A saver of time, costs, personnel, backs and even lives
