Where to get DemoCamp units from?

Make use of people or organizations that support social action

Consider making your own DemoCamp units
To make your own DemoUnits of Camping size and the smaller but identical DemoUnits of Mobile size, is within reach of everybody with some determination. Best is first to borrow them form somewhere (ask Demotech or the Student Workforce), experience what you can do with, then consider if you want the standard size or you want to adapt the construction to your own specs. Then make a start with a few units only, learn to work with it. This is what you will find out:

You can get a lot of powerfull communication material out of a decent amount of work. Investment is little, durability is good.
You have a disaster at hands if you selcect the wrong materials, if you are sloppy with measurements and worst of all: if you do not organize the actual use properly.
You have been warned!

Order your DemoCamp units from a reliable workshop

Create a support organization for DemoCamp units
Set up a group with the task to teach the manufacture of DemoCamp units and to provide ready made material. This group could work comparable to the food service given to demonstrators by Rampenplan
For a start Demotech plans to organize workshops for people involved in social action to learn to make DemoCamp units and to discuss ways to make best use of them.
