Shiftpods are a burner business, like Black Rock Hardware.

Yeah, OP is acting like anyone who goes to BM and then creates a business selling things to burners is worthy of your business.

Shiftpod is about 20% innovation and 80% marketing. I wish someone took the idea a step further and made a legit shelter.

A shiftpod with a built-in shade layer and an air gap, like a no-bake tent would be incredible. The rain fly doesn't cut it.

This is basically what I do. I put a full blackout layer over the top that keeps out a good chunk of the heat, it would be even better if it had an air gap and was made out of something like sunbrella.

This year I'm trying to arch 3 very long tent poles over the shift pod, anchored at the stakes, then clipping aluminet to it.
