Trailers and designer trailers are cool enough to let you escape miles away to a lake beach or a glen in a forest, but it is not cool enough to let you camp just anywhere you want. After all, what do you do when you really want to get back to nature and live in the middle of the lake or house yourself amongst the trees? The Lifepod is designed to allow you to camp anywhere your heart desires. This fully-functioning mini-capsule has been created as a highly portable system that can be set up hung betwixt trees several feet off the ground, floating on calm waters or more traditionally on hard ground.

The Lifepod, designed by Kyu Che, is based on the Mongolian nomadic setup ger. Since its conception in 1997, Lifepods are being created using the most recent automotive, aeronautic, nautical and RV technologies. These quadrupedal fuselages have footings that can be adjusted depending upon the location and manner in which it is being set up. This prefabricated home-away-from-home fits into a 40 ft container. If this appeals to you but you have no plans of camping anywhere except in your own backyard, you may opt for the Lifepod Capsule: a miniature version that can be used as a daily retreat for personal space.
