- It’s a really light and super compressible.
- It takes up almost no space in my pack.
- It can be set up in a whole bunch of ways to suit the weather and group size.
- The tie-out points on the sides really allow for a nice cave-like setup that gives a lot of space to move, even while pitched right to the ground.
- Being able to pitch flat to the ground is a huge bonus

| Pitched with poles underneath on a trip this summer. We had 3 guys inside with the nest. |
- Trying to pitch it by one’s self is a real pain.
- I found it easiest to peg out the sides first and then set up the poles for the ridge.
- The tie-out points are small and weak. Mine was used and the corner points are worn half through.
- The beaks can only be pitched tight at one angle, otherwise they flap. Not a big deal, but when it is advertised as having any type of setup that you want, it makes it a draw back.
- It says it is compatible with the Lair 2 Nest, but I find the Lair 2 Nest is a bit too wide at one end to use when pegging the tarp near the ground.
- Too many tie out points!

| Again, pitched with poles inside on a trip last summer with my daughter. As you can see, here it was pitched right to the ground because of wind and cold. |
