Give me Shelter
This is a product with a lot of potential. It's both easy to use and practical, and that says a lot.
Setup was easy, although I did have to improvise and use a wooden stake for one of the side hammock guy lines -- a couple of wire tent stakes would have been a welcome addition, along with longer lines for the hammock guys. Length problems can be remedied by adding some line, but do pack a couple of stakes or large nails for the guy lines.
The fly seems a bit small to provide good protection against a blowing rain (though I did not try in the rain), but the sides can be lowered to make the most of it.
The ridge line, which holds the screen up, sports a sliding mesh pocket for gear, and a couple of clips for hanging your flashlight (or whatever) on. Getting in and out is not a problem, and you can velcro the bottom entrance closed against insects.
Notice the wood stake in the foreground, which I had to
use to secure the near-side hammock guy.
