1/19/2024 0 Comments Mypod tent![]() Luckily ShiftPod recently released a new SHIFTPOD MINI that packs down and is much easier to transport - read my SHIFTPOD MINI review. Overall, the sentiment was positive for ease of use.īottom line: If you can bring an A/C unit and get under some proper shade, you will create an environment that is both cool and comfortable for the entire burn. others pointed out that while it sets up very easily, it's large, so it doesn't pack well into a small car. Some pointed out that the floor zips off so you can quickly clean it post-burn. The newest version has an extra 2" of headspace so you can easily stand inside.ĥ. Size: The tent can easily accommodate two people, so you don't have to worry about buying two of these if you are a couple. Now, you need a dual vent in/out AC system, and my fellow burners recommended the Whynter 11,000 unit along with a generator to keep it running during the hot days.Ĥ. According to my panel of reviewers, if you don't have A/C or at least a homemade swamp cooler, you're missing the point of the Shift Pod. Comfort: The real thing that sets the SHIFTPOD apart is its ability to efficiently utilize air conditioning. Shift pods are sealed and have no vents, so you don't have to worry (much) about dust intrusion.ģ. Which might not sound like a big deal until your entire tent is covered in a thick layer of dust and there's no way to get rid of it. With the exception of the Kodiac Tent, your average tent has vents and these obviously let in dust. Dust Resistance: It's great at keeping out the dust. While Shift Pod does claim that their silver fabric reflects heat, and trust me, it does a good job, it doesn't do it efficiently enough to skip setting up some shade.Ģ. Shade: If your Shift Pod isn't under shade, it's just like most any other tent on the playa. But I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I asked some experienced burners what they thought of their SHIFTPOD. ![]() Now, full disclosure, I have not camped in a Shift Pod before. One of the tents that recently hit the market and has been extremely popular at The Burn and festival alike is the SHIFTPOD tent. As comfortable as an RV sounds, it has always seemed a bit cost-prohibitive, and so over the years I have opted for tents since they can be used year after year. There are a host of options when it comes to choosing your accommodations for the burn. ![]()
