1. A portable shelter, comprising: a single-piece rigid, exterior, three-dimensional shell that comprises a curved profile and defines at least a portion of a human-occupiable volume therein, the curved profile comprising a rigid wall that comprises at least four sides, at least two of the sides bei
1. A portable shelter, comprising: a single-piece rigid, exterior, three-dimensional shell that comprises a curved profile and defines at least a portion of a human-occupiable volume therein, the curved profile comprising a rigid wall that comprises at least four sides, at least two of the sides being tapered from a bottom edge of the rigid wall to a top of the rigid wall such that the four sides of the rigid wall meet the top of the rigid wall with a radius, the shell defining at least one door opening;a rigid frame attached to an interior surface of the shell and comprising a substantially same size and shape as the shell;a rigid base attachable to the single-piece rigid exterior shell, the single-piece rigid exterior shell configured to detach from the rigid base and stack and load into a human-occupiable volume of another single-piece rigid, exterior, three-dimensional shell for transportation of the shells; anda furniture member pivotally attached to the rigid frame to adjust between a deployed position with the furniture member extending toward a center of the human-occupiable volume, and a stored position with the furniture member extending against the rigid exterior shell to expose the human-occupiable volume to receive another rigid exterior shell therein,wherein the furniture member comprises a first bunk bed, the portable shelter further comprising a second bunk bed pivotally attached to the rigid frame below the first bunk bed. 2. The portable shelter of claim 1, further comprising: a third bunk bed pivotally attached to the rigid exterior shell opposite the first bunk bed; anda fourth bunk bed pivotally attached to the rigid exterior below the third bunk bed. 3. The portable shelter of claim 1, wherein the rigid base attached to the rigid exterior shell defines a bottom of the human-occupiable volume. 4. The portable shelter of claim 1, further comprising a latch configured to affix the furniture member in the stored position. 5. The portable shelter of claim 1, further comprising a location indicator positioned on an outer surface of the rigid exterior shell. 6. The portable shelter of claim 1, wherein the furniture member is positioned horizontally in the deployed position, and the furniture member is positioned vertically in the stored position. 7. A shelter system, comprising: a first portable shelter, comprising: a first single-piece rigid, exterior, three-dimensional shell that comprises a curved profile and defines at least a portion of a first human-occupiable volume therein, the curved profile of the first rigid exterior shell comprising a first rigid wall that comprises at least four sides, at least two of the sides being tapered from a bottom edge of the first rigid wall to a top of the first rigid wall such that the four sides of the first rigid wall meet the top of the first rigid wall with a radius, the first single-piece rigid shell defining at least one door opening;a first rigid frame attached to an interior surface of the first single-piece rigid shell and comprising a substantially same size and shape as the first single-piece rigid shell;a first rigid base attachable to the first single-piece rigid exterior shell, the first single-piece rigid exterior shell configured to detach from the first rigid base; anda first furniture member pivotally attached to the first rigid frame to adjust between a deployed position with the first furniture member extending toward a center of the first human-occupiable volume, and a stored position with the first furniture member extending against the first single-piece rigid exterior shell to expose the first human-occupiable volume;a second portable shelter, comprising: a second single-piece rigid, exterior, three-dimensional shell that comprises a curved profile and defines at least a portion of a second human-occupiable volume therein, the curved profile of the second rigid exterior shell comprising a second rigid wall that comprises at least four sides, at least two of the sides being tapered from a bottom edge of the second rigid wall to a top of the second rigid wall such that the four sides of the second rigid wall meet the top of the second rigid wall with a radius, the second single-piece rigid shell defining at least one door opening;a second rigid frame attached to an interior surface of the second single-piece rigid shell and comprising a substantially same size and shape as the second single-piece rigid shell;a second rigid base attachable to the second single-piece rigid exterior shell, the second single-piece rigid exterior shell configured to detach from the second rigid base and stack and load into the first human-occupiable volume of the first single-piece rigid, exterior, three-dimensional shell for transportation of the first and second shells; anda second furniture member pivotally attached to the second rigid frame to adjust between a deployed position with the second furniture member extending toward a center of the second human-occupiable volume, and a stored position with the second furniture member extending against the second single-piece rigid exterior shell to expose the second human-occupiable volume. 8. The shelter system of claim 7, further comprising: a pole; anda canopy sized to drape over the pole and over at least portions of the first and second portable shelters. 9. The shelter system of claim 7, wherein the stored position of the first furniture member comprises a vertical orientation of the first furniture member, and the deployed position comprises a horizontal orientation of the first furniture member. 10. The shelter system of claim 9, wherein the first furniture member is sized to support a human.
