One Great Shelter

Rating:*****

Well where to start i have been everywhere with this shelter From east coast to west coast and just love it.I spent a month in the Adirondacks with this shelter in temps down close to freezing and rain and stayed nice and Dry,Shaded and and just about anything else i needed it for.It sets up so many ways its so versitile for whatever you need.Bring lots of stakes or make some out of your natural surroundings.Greatest light weight,Compact shelter out there i think.Experiment with and you will agree its one great shelter.Good luck and Happy Trails.......
