Living a nomadic lifestyle is easier now than it has ever been before, and travelers who prefer to be a citizen of the world now have a ton of cool camping gear and gadgets at their disposal.
Nomads who prefer to travel as light as possible used to have to worry about finding shelter for the night, but thanks to designer David Shatz they can carry a durable shelter around on their backs.
This nomad backpack tent is called "Melina", and it allows travelers to feel safer and more comfortable while sleeping outside without having to make camp or carry around a tent.
Wherever they go “Melina” goes with them, and when they're ready to count some hitchhiking sheep they can just expand the unit and crawl inside for a safe night's sleep.

So - instead of a neat compact light-weight tent, you have...something bulky and heavy.
