Geo has a pentagonal footprint and uses the principles of a geodesic dome to provide greater strength and portability.
Structurally there are 5 foldable diamond struts that connect to the top pentagonal structure to provide the framework for Geo. These collapsible struts allow for airflow between the inner tent and the outer rainfly and provide a conduit for electrical cables. Two doors allow for access and air flow with the clear windows on the outer door allowing light and visibility. The half-moon vents at the top allow for greater ventilation.
The struts can be easily attached to the feet with cotter pins. These feet can be staked into the ground to hold Geo in place.
Geo - Bringing comfort to the outdoors
Josh Rich
I get excited about 3-dimensional objects and thinking, I like designing solutions to problems and helping people to live their life to the fullest. I strive to bring my experiences and passions to every project I work on. I spent much of my childhood outdoors hiking, camping, backpacking, and canoeing and was always active in sports. As an avid outdoorsman, I spent years, not just observing outdoor equipment, but depending upon it to get through some extreme environmental conditions. I grew to appreciate some of the features and the solid designs of my equipment, but I also spent time thinking of how to improve gear or make new designs. My interests also extend to space. As a teenager, I spent several summers at space camp in Huntsville, AL. I participated in the NETFLIX documentary, Mars Generation. In college, I was a member of the Space City Rocketry Team (AAIA University of Houston). I enjoy working on a team with engineers and physicists and I have contributed my skills in design and fabrication.
