Very cool. Does it pack up more like a tent or a folding chair? What are the dimensions when folded or separated for transport?

The overall pack size is a bit smaller round than a 32oz. Nalgene bottle. It's pack length is between 25-26". It's possible that this may change as we further develop the product over the next month. It's not going to get any larger-that's for sure. There is a daisy chain on the sack to allow you to easily connect it to your pack.

Looks like a nice product, especially for floorless shelters! I just pledged some $ so hope you get plenty of backers :)
