Manufactures biomimetic emergency shelters that expand like an accordion from backpack-size to gazebo-sized structures. Designed specifically for avalanche rescue zones and remote wilderness safety.
You're buried in an avalanche, chest compressed, oxygen fading. You pull the compact Platypod from your pack, yank the deployment cord, and watch in disbelief as a 6-foot reinforced gazebo structure instantly expands around you, cutting through the snow like a protective bubble. The thermal pillows hiss to life, warming the air from -20°F to 60°F within minutes - you're alive, you're sheltered, and rescue crews can spot your bright orange exterior from miles away.
