Sažetak
Speleologists explore many underground objects in remote, wild and karst areas of Croatia. Approach to some of the most important objects, like the ones in the Crnopac area (Mt. Velebit range), is very difficult. Camp locations can be equipped with structures that serve for resting, crossing or working. Same applies to some underground locations. In order to form such spaces for outdoor activities one must use materials found on sight and ones brought on foot. Structures should be collapsible and mobile so that they can be easily stored or moved to another location. Materials carried on foot need to be lightweight. Inflatable tubes can be used as compression elements for the structure and ropes as tension elements. Structure should be adaptable to various site configurations. Concept is based on pneumatic tubes, ropes, meshes, tent wings, hooks, spits, and other similar caving and climbing equipment. Geometry of the structure and the amount of used material depend on the type of used equipment, knots and anchorage.
