This is great! Your can fans are discontinued. Has anyone found a good alternative?

I agree, the siesta tents were perfect. I need some fans for our shift pod. Thanks for the info.

Omg you're my hero for figuring out the pool noodle shade structure @stationjeckmode9107 . What kind of tarp did you use on top of the noodles to create the shade?

cool set up !!

I've survived this year's Burning Man, and for whoever reading this I would like to share my thoughts: 1. Under direct sunlight, shiftpod gets hot, and a lot! The thing that cools your shiftpod the most is shade. Don't rely on your camp providing you with one (as I did). You may be on the fringe of your camp's shade structure and it will suck. Bring your own aluminet. Also, I did not try the pool noodle setup shown in the video, so maybe it will be enough, but I won't risk it next year, and will do both. 2. The evaporative cooler was super effective. However, It leaks, as the water condensates on the cooler's grid, so make sure it's in a small container. We used a plastic box's lid for it. 3. The soda can ventilation setup was alright, but it's definitely not enough to cool the shiftpod. I did not test whether shade + evaporative cooler would be enough, but I'm not sure whether the ventilation setup is as important as the evaporative cooler. Especially considering that 2 soda can fans consume 26-28 Watts, while 1 cooler (1 was enough for us) consumes only 8-10. 4. All ventilation setup (2 soda fans on max, 1 cooler) + 4 plugged-in devices (2 phones, 2 power banks) consumes around 70 watts. We had a 110W solar panel, so we were good. 5. I don't know how, but I'll look into a device to dry the shiftpod from the inside for the next year. When it was raining for >1 day, it sucked a lot, because despite our best efforts, everything inside the tent was damp. On the other hand, my tent did not leak at all, as my fellow campers' tents, most of whom had to use cups or other objects to drain water from their tents. 6. I don't think people show it often on their videos, but shitpod comes with a metalic "central pole" - it helps to stabilize the tent in high wind conditions, and to prevent the ceiling collapsing in snowy conditions, or when your camp's shade structure does not drain water, so it sags on the top of your shiftpod:)

What about at night

Would you be able to lay out all the fans and solar panels you bought? Love this set up!

Hello everyone! Quick question, I have this same Shiftpod2 and I'm interested in potentially having circular fans in the ducts shown at 14:02. If it's 114 degrees at Burning Man, wouldn't we want to blow this 114 degrees air out of the tent, instead of in? Wouldn't inward airflow from these fans bring dust into the tent as well? Just trying to double check the logic here. May I please ask which circular fans were used for this? Did they get the job done? Thanks in advance! Cheers! 🙏

Thank you very much for this video. I keep coming back to it for tips and to see how you solved same problems I am facing.

Hey! I know that guy!

Thank you so much for this video, we are using a ShiftPod 3 this year as well and this was so helpful to prepare. Do you have a link to the fans you used?

thats whats up cool to know you didnt put any extra shade structure over the top of the shiftpod. im planning to make a monkey hut to go over mine and I will have a AC unit but i can appreciate how you kept it simple and just used solar

thanks for this awesome overview! mind sharing the link to the fans you got? how did you rig them to the AC openings?

BTW, yes, I came back again. Lol What are the little elephants dangling from the roof called? I don't remembered what they are called and because I cannot remember I cannot look them up to buy some. Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much for the videos - they've been so helpful! Wondering if your two small Fancii fans (in the air conditioning holes) needed to have filters on them or if they brought in dust etc. Thanks again!

What about an aluminate shade "blast shield on top of the pool noodles?

I keep coming back to this video. It's so helpful.

BTW, where did people get different colored blast shields?😊

I want the pink reflective rain cover.

I just found the shift pod a week ago because I was looking for the absolute BEST Four Season shelter because I want to combine it with my invention, a Rocket Stove (in the-ground) Earthen Thermal Mass Heating System! It will heat a 100 +/- shelter easily, AND It will help keep it cool in summer also because Earth temps are always lower than ambient temperature... Tested in multiple locations king of hammers burning Man a lot of emergency situations they've improving intestine that's what I want to work with. They used YKK zippers and carbon graphite hubs and struts I was so impressed with her system just blown away like I had envisioned, EXACTLY what I envisioned An Ice Fishing Shelter Hub on steroids, that will be good for all ALL seasons Cold and hot weather both and high winds which I think we're going to be having to deal with more and more they're like a perfect emergency shelter and that's what I've been looking for for 20 years actually since I had a picture burned into my mind about 40 years ago of a bunch of tents across a pasture and I KNEW that they were refugees and if I didn't do something to help them they would die and then in the year 2000, 20 years later I had a powerful, -like real-time real-life Technicolor -like-I-was-there, vision of an underground house and a homeless Family. That shook up my world, charged me up and set me on a course that's included a website, a book, and a TH-cam channel ALL with the same name; How To Get Out Of Babylon and ALL trying to figure out how to help homeless people in horrible and emergency situations. I think this is what I've come to other than building houses underground we need to have some shelter that will absolutely stand up to high winds and snow and ice and extreme temperatures; we will see heat and cold and this is like the most PERFECT thing I've ever found; "Space Age Tent for Space Age Conditions!!"

I love the fact that it's already been tested in so many great locations King of the hammers and burning Man and mountain climbing and emergency rescues situations and disaster relief that's exactly what I've been looking for for so many years for 20 years now the perfect Four Season tent shelter for emergency situations and my gosh they've designed and built exactly what I wanted, what I had envisioned / designed in my head!! Carbon graphite struts and hubs and YKK zippers etc top quality materials everything space blanket materials for reflecting Heat and cold; "Space Age Materials for Space Age Conditions!!!"

This is great. Any chance you want to drop a link to your arctic ACs? How did you power those? Batteries?

NEED TO KNOW THE SETUP THIS YEAR! i upgraded to shiftpod now that i have a significant other. Are you going to go fan or AC this year???

Just curious what you used for filters for the windows in this video

Did you ever master the blast shield? Aka with the noodles / separator

Please explain pool noodle setup. That's a great idea! Any instructions somewhere? Thanks!

Can you link to the filters you got for the windows, please? Thank you for all the tips!

This is how i felt toda, first failed day on 5x5. I failed my sets, felt so weak on my squats and my bench press was shaky on my 1st set then can't even finish the last sets. But my barbell row was strong at the end. I was fatigued tho I slept 8 hours, it was frustrating but it is what it is. Still weak but gotta get up to be strong next time. It's great that you mentioned listening to our bodies and being the smart lifter rather than the strong lifter.

I ordered my shiftpod 3 and got it. I thoroughly enjoy it. I live in south Texas and the weather gets HOT here. This was definitely a shelter. I added aluminate on top. Makes a huge difference, I need more aluminate. Lol I have watched this video sporadically again and again for tips.

How did you get all that stuff out there holy shit

Thanks for sharing! Looks really roomy in that tent. Hope to make it out to burning man soon.

Excellent videos! I started prepping a year ago and your videos were instrumental and I'm so grateful that you posted these. I have a shiftpod2 setup with a 5k BTU window air conditioner powered off of solar. For the ducting, I need can fans to circulate the air. Do you mind sharing which can fans you used? I didn't see any that looked like yours on Amazon. Thanks again. I'm using so many of your ideas: Pool noodles, organization, lots of ideas. Hope you are going back!

I am going to try and solve some of the issues with a different approach. Using different materials and Magnets. But I need to buy one of those first and see what is possible. I do really thank you for making these videos.

Hope these modifications are picked up by the makers of the Shiftpod. Great job of documenting the good and the bad - when trying to maximize your living situation while at Burning Man. The inside looks super clean. I am impressed

Great job on the content. You have saved me plenty of headaches and will get a Shiftpod2 for BM 2022

What are the pros and cons of the shift pod vs diy hexayurt? I heard a hexayurt can keep you very cool

use gaffers tape not duct tape. adhesive on duct tape gives up when warmed.

Another Shiftpod video and again no one is camping, heh, heh, heh... Texas

Did you need fans at night? What was your power situation like :)

I just order my shiftpod, and your video makes me feel satisfied and happy to make the right decision.

Love this!! Could you please tell us more about Siesta tent vs. ShiftPod? I've been trying to do research for next year, and there aren't many blogs or people talking about it!!

I know you!

Is there a name for that squat technique? i've never seen that before.

you're not touching your chest with the bench press, if you're doing proper 5x5 this is supposedly vital, care to explain why you don't? I'm not questioning you in any way just wondering really as I'm about to start this program

awesome video....guess i gotta get me one of these for burning man

I am so glad you like my design.

What's up with the pool noodles?

Problem with those fans at Black Rock City... ya also had a ShiftPod full of Playa dust. I will keep my AC cooled ShiftPod, almost dustless during my typical 10-14 day stay.

Be careful not to pump playa dust in all over yourself! :) Aluminet is our go to out on the playa. It will help you keep any and everything cooler.

I need to know if this worked?????? possible to find you on facebook?
