Ladies, gentlemen, prepare yourselves for some pretty hardcore wilderness survival training... This scares the s**t out of me! They could use this wacky tent to make a cool remake of the Blairwitch Project. If not, then just to act cool in front of nerdy friends.

Even if it doesn't have an integrated

lithium battery or any extra option that suffocates the market, such as an Mp3 player or plasma integrated in the system, I would still get myself one of these. However, it reminds me of a horror movie.

The man behind the concept is John Morarty. It may be a cocoon tent, a hanging basket, or anything you may think it looks like. He used only soft materials that are capable of keeping the human body warm, and very well protected during unexpected extreme conditions. Too bad there isn't any weight limit mention in the specification list. Unsurprisingly, the item is nicely stored in Coroflot database, hidden under the name of "Cocoon, The emergency Shelter".

The ways you can use this thing are infinite, still it looks pretty good if you hang it off a tree, a cliff face or just about anywhere else you might need it. I don't expect my grandma to use one of these, as I suppose it can give you severe back pains because of the uncomfortable position.

It seems like the most important detail about the product is the protection it provides to its users, no matter the outside conditions. All in all, it seems to be a cool idea, though I sincerely doubt someone could actually sleep in that position, unless we're talking about a bat or else.

Sadly, there is no price or availability detail, yet! Thanks Coroflot for the photos!
