IM looking at the seek LBO shelter and have been reading about this set up being modular. Seems like a great option for a solo hunter who may have 2 or three going at times. Id like to see a few pics of each option set up if yall have some to post. A thought im having is the base/tarp/base option. With that set up, can a guy use the two bases together and then use the tarp as a separate shelter while out hunting during the day/quick way to get out of the rain, etc.? IF im reading it right, its 48 oz for this set which seems pretty light. Looking forward to hearing more about this shelter and seeing some pics if yall want to post some up
IM on youtube right now looking at some videos, but also looking for inputs from this site as well.
Thanks !

Ok, after being frustrated because I couldn't view the pics and set ups on the seek outside webpage, I switched over to chrome and it worked. Not sure why, but I wasn't able to view any pics on internet explorer??

same issue for me. none of the pics worked until i went to chrome. I blamed my companies web filters, maybe it was just a browser issue though.

I have a base, tarp and 3-piece vestibule and a buddy has a base and 3-piece vestibule. We've setup about every combination you can think of. A base, tarp, base would give you lots of options.

I went on a backpacking trip with 6 people. We had all 5 LBO pieces and setup a number of combinations. I don't know if I have a picture of base/base but a base/base is basically the same a base/vestibule except a little bigger.

Most of the time we setup two base/vestibule configurations. Each base/vestibule could hold two guys very comfortably.

Here is one of the camps with two base/vestibule configurations

Here is base/tarp/base with the tarp open to make it easy to get gear inside. This configuration comfortably slept four guys.

I’m looking into purchasing a lbo and trying to figure out the best layout. having the stove jack in the vestibule seems perfect solo with stove but if using base tarp vestibule would it still work well for 2-3 people and stove? Or do i need to get a stove jack in the tarp also? I can’t find pictures of this setup.

Thanks for those pics DaveS!! I really like that base/ tarp/ base set up. Lots of room for two people to stretch out, easy to get in and out, haul firewood in, and put the stove in the second base area from the looks of it....or I guess the base /tarp /vestibule would work for this as well.
