Well I christened my new shelter last weekend in the Nantahalla National Forest at Big Scaly Mountain. It is a 8'x6' foot cuben tipi with a mesh floor and mesh screened door. The mesh is 4' wide leaving a small vestibule. The weather was rainy and 50s at night and 60/70s during the day. The shelter was made by Joe Valesko at Zpacks. Joe did a great job and I highly recommend his work. I experienced very little condensation even with a 90lb flat coat retriever with me. I was a little concerned about the dog (Yonah) and cuben/mesh but he is so laid back in camp and sleeping that I had no problems. I did put a ground cover under the shelter. I plan on this being the shelter for my AT thru in 2010. Here are some pics. Feel free to comment or ask me questions. The weight is 15 ounces. Yeah, I know it is pretty light even compared to SMD Lunar Duo.
