Abstract
A portable shelter which is very easily carried, unfolded, assembled, disassembled and folded, and which, in the unfolded configuration, forms a sled for transporting items. The shelter is composed of a lower wall component and an upper wall component, each of which being constructed of a light, rigid material such as corrugated plastic or paper. The lower wall component is nested within the upper wall component, and both wall components have a plurality of fold locations so that they are mutually foldable into a rectangular shape suitable for use as a sled. A lid component is also foldable so as to be placeable within the folds of the two wall components. In operation, a user simultaneously unfolds the upper and lower wall components so as to provide an area for occupation therewithin. Then the user grabs the upper wall component and raises it in relation to the lower wall component until tabs on the bottom edge of the upper wall component interlock onto the top edge of the lower wall component. The lid component is then unfolded, formed, and placed upon the top edge of the upper wall component.
