I'm too lazy to do a similar project, but it's somewhat interesting. A friend of mine who died last year and was an enthusiast of cycle-touring would love it.

... with coroplast! At least its a recumbent bike, streamlining the whole unit would look great |

It's a lunchbox on wheels...for a bear! Nice idea, but not practical to go camping around here in...well, maybe in the city. Unfortunately, the homeless around here, who might benefit from such a device, carry more crap around with them then I keep in my garage...there would be no room left to hold a person in it!

Maybe something like this with a few improvements could be actually more effective as an emergency shelter under certain situations.

Even an SUV isn't always bear proof. It could have a number of variations.
