New big agnes shelter

Seems like a pretty sweet 3 season setup with minimal weight and large vestibule. I hunt some areas that are very buggy so a nest of some sort is a must.

I like it. I have been eyeing it for some time now. It looks like a good shelter. There are some videos out there that compare the three deaigns

I can't tell if the best is removable. It does look intriguing though. Thanks for the heads up.

It'd be even better when you sew a stove jack in that vestibule.

looks like a one man castle, but I would be a little concerned about how high off the ground those eves are in the wind, especially a wind driven rain.

That tent seems like a good design. Downfall is you need a 14'x8' are to set it up. That can be difficult to find in many areas.

It's got me interested.

Looks cool, but I don't know if it's "$400 cool"? Maybe I'm just a cheapskate...

Very good point Doug. I think thats about the same size footprint as a sawtooth. I really like the idea for trips with the wife and dog.

That thing is pretty cool. That is an impressive weight.

Without the nest, you could probably set it up on some pretty uneven ground.

What would that run to have done?

 

[WyoBowhunter21]

I was thinking the same as you guys. I am still unsure about going floorless. With that setup you could utilize a stove, keep your weight down, and still have a floored sleep area.

$75'ish

Looks a lot like a LBO with a connecting tarp...just not as versatile.

The downside to a stove is there is only one way in and one way out. You wont be able to feed the stove from inside the tent because it would get in the way for getting in and out of the tent. I personally wouldn't be using this shelter in temperatures where I would need a stove for warmth but more for a means of drying gear. With that being said and how quickly gear drys I think having the stove setup a little ways a way from the tent would be a descent idea. Keep a fire going long enough to dry gear on wet days and maybe for some warmth in the mornings.

Thats what I was thinking, a one piece LBO without a stove jack.

I saw this tent about a month ago on big Agnes/promotive page. I'm thinking of picking one up when the tax return cometh in.

I Just realized that the nest doesn't come out. At first I thought it would and this would be a really versatile setup. With the nest being sown in, it takes away a lot of options. Bummer.
