We all love our amazing dome. It keeps us out of the elements and provides us a center point to our social activities. It does all these things wonderfully. We are all very grateful to the intrepid three man crew that made it happen so many years ago.
However, when out on the playa for a week, or as some of us are planning, two weeks, we need privacy from time to time. We all have the need for personal space. Tents almost work for this. Though, they lack protection from the dust and are just a little bit on the flimsy side for the desert environment. Over the next month, members of our camp will be spending time exploring personal space units(PSU's) The criteria we'll be optimizing for are:
1 Ability to completely protect the inhabitant from all weather on the playa (wind,sun,rain,dust,people)
2 Cost
3 Ease of: day to day use, transport, setup, tear down.
4 Looking awesome.
