Wsolo | Survival Kit
Pratt Institute, Tumi

In survival situations (or natural catastrophies), the need for clean water and shelter is immediate. Wsolo takes little space packed. When opened, it has a high purification
rate: enough for supplying the water needed by two. Powered by the sun, Wsolo purifies water in any condition. At night, lacking light it offers shelter. It provides cover while collecting rain water.

Wsolo is dropped via air and opened by survivors. The vibrant colours increase visibility: with Wsolo the number of survivors can be identified from the air.
