Lavin - Swedish for avalanche - is an emergency shelter solution making use of the existing resources available to alpine explorers to provide a temporary deployable structure in the aftermath of disasters.

 

Adding as few extra components as possible results in an emergency structure compressed to the size of a backpack, easy to transport while offering ample interior space when deployed.

 

Applications range all the way from civilian to military use, for lost individuals, to larger groups requiring a temporary base camp or any other deployable infrastructure.
