A lightweight plastic mountain hut that can withstand extreme conditions and be choppered to remote locations could be the future of back country accommodation and beyond.
The huts, called Turks, are built from 26,000 litre plastic water tanks. There are currently six in use - five between Treble Cone and Coronet Peak.
They are built by volunteers and are cheaper than some of the traditional mountain huts, according to adventurer and designer Erik Bradshaw. He talks to Lisa Owen.
