Abstract: A light weight and collapsible platform and platform support structure usable as the deck and central structure of a folding boat and of a levelable, raised platform tent camper. This collapsible platform support structure is a unique arrangmeent of compression carrying arms radiating out from a central hub and jacking device, with an arrangement of tension carrying cables linking and supporting the radial arms into a rigid geometry.
