Thomas Bjelkeman Pettersson on the global swadeshi ning is working on a “flat-pack emergency home” which includes most of what you need for a functional emergency (or camping) home.

We intend to actually put together a working demonstration and show that this can be done for under a couple of hundred dollars/euros.

The demonstration will most likely include the following:

Housing / shelter

Hexayurt – our favorite emergency shelter system

Water purification

Siphon filter – an in production unit, costs around $10, made in India.

Chlorination

Light and power

Nova S201 – solar light and mobile phone charger
