Bender tents - based on traditional British dwellings that work very well and have good potential in many situations including disaster relief

Posted by Robin Greenwood about 13 years ago

Includes a easy to make and lightweight stove!

Basically I'm going to link to sister sites as well as uploading some more photos here. We used to make these 'benders' living on 'convoy' (uk hippy traveller) sites and the like a few years ago. I've often thought how they could be of great use to folks around the world, for example in the current Japanese crisis.
