The Nemo Bugout series is a new category of shelters. These simple shelters consist of a well designed tarp with mesh walls that can either be stowed or easily dropped to offer instant no-see-um protection. String the tarp between two trees, paddles, or trekking poles to create an escape from rain, bugs or sun whether you are in the front yard or backcountry. The 7 x 7 Bugout Elite shelter adds only a few ounces to your pack but provides the same luxury of space and standing height to your backcountry site that would take pounds in a tent. A specially developed mesh with high water repellency protects against side blown rain and effortlessly sheds moisture when it's time to pack up
