  We've been tricked!  Where's the shelter that the thumbnail shows?

  It's so great they won't link to the manufacturer or website

  I am a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and we provide help for our homeless neighbors by paying rent, utilities, giving them food but we can only help an individual or family every six months, except for food which we can give more often. So, after paying rent for someone, he or she may end up on the street a month or two later. We depend on donations and help as many as we can. If we could buy these pods we could give them shelter that would last longer than a few months. How can we get ahold of some? Surprised by the many supportive comments I'd like to invite you readers to donate money, non-perishable food and gift cards (Kroger & Walmart) to SVdP  at a local Catholic Church near you. Everything we give comes from donations and we keep none of the money, since we are all volunteers. God bless you all.

  The vapor in your breath is what causes you to freeze in your car.  You must crack those windows a little bit to let the moisture out

  1st time I went to Alaska was in 88 and there was pods similar to this for safety on the side of roads in mountain passes in the middle of nowhere and they were Unlocked with food and water in them and a stove and wood and they were big enough for 8 or 10 people or you could Crowd and more in an emergency I guess They were interesting to see

  Moisture build up is the problem with any non breathable insulation ‼️

  The city I live in shut the homeless shelter down. The homeless population didn't just disappear. They're just miserable.

  No mention of the fact that the problem is that you don&apos;t own any land.<br><br>It doesn&apos;t matter what kind of temporary shelter you set up on the sidewalk in a city. They&apos;re going to come and throw it away and move you along. You don&apos;t actually have any legal right to live there.

  I Live in Spokane, Washington State. Here the homeless population is growing year after year. I&apos;ve even heard of Portland Oregon sending homeless to Spokane from their city for free to get rid of them! The homeless shelters seem to shut down more every year and these folks could use the help!

  My city of Rock Island,IL. Paid $50.00 a night at a hotel for 150 people last year. For 2 months.<br>When they could had gotten these for $50.00 or something more permanent.<br><br>Then just use a vacant lot for them to stay at.<br><br>They can still use public facilities for showers and food.<br>A 5 gallons bucket would make a good toilet.
