Shift Pod Technologies - ShiftPod

Came to suggest a Shiftpod. No way you could sit in a tent during the day in any kind of warm climate. An electric hookup and an AC unit in a Shiftpod would be the way to go for sure.

I’ve used my Shiftpod for Burning Man and a bunch of small festivals in Northern California, as well as some desert camping and I love it. I can get mine set up in 2-3 min or less, by myself. Then it’s just putting the stakes in and organizing things inside. https://shiftpod.com/ Kodiak Canvas tents are also really good and a lot of burners use them for many years. https://kodiakcanvas.com/collections/canvas-camping-tents If you aren’t camping in really hot places, you can also look at ice fishing tents. Many pop up quick like a shiftpod, but are cheaper because they don’t have the special reflective material. But they don’t have floors so you’ll need to find a solution for that (like a tarp and canvas drop cloth, maybe some rugs).

ShiftPod. Has built in AC cutouts… awesome tent!

If money is no object? Shiftpod. Ceiling under $1000? Eskimo ice fishing tent. Budget budget? Vevor knockoff of the Eskimo tent. More flexibility and space but also more time-consuming setup? E-Z UP with the zippered tent sides. I do a lot of field work, these are the most popular choices if we're not working off of a truck. No matter what you get, portable AC and a space heater will be a necessity. For the desk, the classic plastic folding table is usually the best, but if you need a smaller stored size, there's some roll-up aluminum ones that can raise up to working height. Ergonomic chair is tough but they do make some folding ones, they tend to fold flat so they take up a decent amount of space when stored. Standard camping chairs might sit a bit too low to work at a table, definitely test them out before buying.

My shiftpod 2 had minor mold issues that I've since corrected and it handled the burn/rain excellently. While I was going through the mold issues asking for advice and if they had some kind of replacement program their support just ghosted me. Friends shiftpod 3 had its poles break before the burn and the company refused to do anything about it. New camp mate had the new expedition and seemed to not have troubles with it. Unfortunately the shift pods in general you need to kind of baby and they seem to have a good number of minor failure points if things go wrong. They don't explain all the anti-mold stuff you need to do. And their support is god awful, worst I've seen from any company. I really love mine but there's so many caveats to it and it's a shame.

I bought one from Amazon, I did a test run set up with one of the plastic footings broke on shipment. Seeing how fragile this tent was discouraged me to seek a replacement from poor quality of Coleman. I eventually opted for a Shiftpod and a Gazelle T4. More expensive but there is quality manufacturing
