Description

1P Bug Shelter - a lightweight net tent for tarp camping

The 1P Bug Shelter is the roomier inner for the Cirriform system that also works with many basic tarps. Near-vertical end walls and a deep tub provide elbow room and keep fabric from encroaching on your face and feet while you sleep. It's built for hikers who spend most of their shelter time horizontal, but want a little more comfort when they're not - whether that's reading before bed or just having room to change layers.

  • Dual Entry
    Front and side entry options adapt to different tarp configurations and conditions.
  • Elbow Room
    Near-vertical end walls and a deep tub keep fabric off your face and feet.
  • Floating Tub
    The tub suspends from its top corners to keep it taut and functional.
  • Durable Floor
    20D Silpoly with PeU coating and taped seams - selected to balance low weight with durability and puncture resistance.
  • Modular System
    Designed for the Cirriform; works with many A-frame tarps.
  • Recycled Materials
    Floor fabric, webbing, and thread are made from recycled materials.

Elbow Room

The end walls rise nearly vertically at the head and foot, keeping the fabric off your face and feet while you sleep. The tub flares wider toward the top, providing more usable space than the footprint suggests - closer to a tent experience than our Bug Bivy.


Dual Entry

The side entry is the everyday option when paired with the Cirriform - easy to get in and out. Use the front entry when weather moves in to keep your sleeping area covered. With other tarps, having both options gives you flexibility depending on how you've pitched your tarp.


Pair it with a tarp

The Bug Shelter is designed to pair with the 1P or 2P Cirriform, and that's where it performs best. It also works with most tapered or flat tarps - for a good pitch, use a ridgeline at least 92" long, ideally longer for some end overhang. A 7' x 9' or 7'/5' x 9' tarp is about the smallest we recommend.

If you want an inner that pairs more easily with a wider range of tarps, the Y-zip Bug Bivy is the more versatile option.


Notes/FAQ:

  • Do I need a groundsheet? A groundsheet is not required, but using one will help extend the life of any shelter floor.
  • Do I need to seal the seams? No, the seams at the corners of the tub are taped.
  • How much headroom does it have? The head apex sits at roughly 42" (107cm). Whether you can sit up comfortably depends on your height, torso length, sleeping pad thickness, and personal preference. Many hikers find it comfortable; taller hikers may want to think of it more as a glorified bivy.
  • Can I use it without a tarp? The Bug Shelter provides no rain protection on its own. On nice nights, it can be pitched without a tarp using additional guyline or our stand-alone rigging kit - see the Set-up & Use tab for details.
  • Will this work with a mid-style tarp? No - the Bug Shelter is designed for A-frame tarps. The height of the shelter makes clearance too tight under the sloping walls of a pyramid-style tarp.

Required items (not included):

The items needed to pitch your Bug Shelter will vary depending on your approach. See the Set up & Use tab for more info.

  • A tarp: For rain protection
  • Front Pole: At least ~44" (~111cm)(a taller pole is ok but you'll want to keep it under ~45" (114cm) if using it with a 1P Cirriform)
  • Rear Pole: At least ~31" (~79cm)
    (taller pole is ok)
  • Rigging: If you plan to pitch your Bug Shelter on its own (not under a tarp) you will need additional guyline or our Stand-alone rigging kit. If using tent poles or trekking poles without baskets, you may also need two of our guyline grommets (not needed with stand-alone kit). See the Set up & Use tab for more information.

Set up & Use
Pitching Instructions

Download the appropriate pitching guide and look through the rigging information below to get started with your Bug Shelter.


Rigging

Your Bug Shelter comes with the following rigging included. Use this rigging to connect your Bug Shelter to your tarp per the instructions below.


Installing the rigging at the Apexes

3/32" Shock cord is used to suspend your Bug Shelter from your tarp's apexes or ridgeline. Using 10" (25cm) at the head end and 20" (51cm) at the foot is a good starting point for use with the 1P Cirriform.

  • Note: You will do the following twice; once for each end of the net-tent.
  • At one end of the shock cord, tie on a mitten hook. We suggest a clinch knot.
  • Thread the cord through the webbing loop at the net-tent's apexes (front to back at the head end, and back to front at the foot end).
  • Pass the cord through a cord lock.
  • Tie a loop on the loose end of the cord. We suggest a simple overhand loop knot.

Installing rigging at the corners

1/16" Shock cord is used to connect the top corners of the tub to your tarp's corners. We recommend installing tensionlocks (10mm size) at the floor's corners for easy adjustment. For use with the 1P Cirriform, start with lengths of 30" (76cm) at the front corners and 24" (61cm) at the rear corners.

  • Using a girth hitch, install a tensionlock on the upper tie-out loop at each of the tub's corners.
  • Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
  • Thread the untied end of the shockcord through the tensioner as shown (first through the middle opening from bottom to top, then through the remaining hole from top to bottom).
  • Tie a loop in the untied end of the cord. We like to use an overhand loop knot.
  • Repeat at each corner

If you want to pitch the Bug Shelter by itself (without a tarp), there are two approaches:

  1. With additional guyline: You'll need six stakes, your poles and additional guyline for the apexes. 72" of line for the front and 60" for the foot is plenty. See guyline options here.
  2. Stand alone rigging kit: With our stand alone rigging kit, the Bug Shelter pitches with four stakes and your poles.

The pitching guide linked at the top of the page provides instruction on each method.

Kind of difficult to get through for the first half but worth the read!
Format: Kindle
3.75/5 ⭐️ What this book lacked in being fully polished, it made up for in world and character building for sure! While the first half was hard to get through, as this is a book that starts you in the present and then goes back and forth between different times in the past to get you up to speed with what’s happening in the future (and it’s not all chronological in the past which made it even harder), once all of the book is set in the present, Tessa and her pack, Ryder, Dixon, Mac, and Tray, (and of course Josie the cat,) all begin their journeys of finding themselves both individually and within their pack which is so rewarding to see after all of the tragedy and sadness detailed in their last few years leading up to meeting. I think this book could’ve done with another beta reader or two to polish up grammatical errors as well, some of those took me out of the story for a minute to try to figure out what was trying to be communicated. Overall, this story filled with so many dichotomies of love and loss, grief and happiness, hurt and comfort, all culminating in a lovely story of a pack that strengthens each other after many tribulations, and it warms your heart so so much to see them go through every version of themselves, landing on secure and happy individuals who make a wonderful pack together. Would absolutely recommend if you like slow burn, rockstar, big city, and initially heavy and a bit dark but fades into comfort and fluffy omegaverse stories!

i should have waited for there to be reviews posted
Format: Kindle
I'm being more generous than I should because this is a debut novel i downloaded this book because i like why choose and band romances i figured that it wouldn't take too long to get back to where the prologue was because the prologue seemed to be less than a day before they met the FMC and the MMCs don't meet til 60 % of the way in which for a Romance novel kinda hard for the relationship to develop or for there to be plot beyond them just meeting in a way where the FMC really lacks agency a lot of early plot and character things are forgotten about after they met it's almost as if the last third of the book was written first and then they went back to write backstory separately but forgot there needs to be a plot i get wanting to have background on the characters, but there has to be a way to do it without constant time jumps and no plot progression. Tessa's story jumps around a week lead up so much also the band aspect is very much an afterthought in the novel Spoilers-- one of the MMCs is openly pan and one of them has been dealing with a bi awakening but being somewhat defensive about it and once Tessa arrives that gets forgotten about til the epilogue and even then doesn't actually confront his sexuality the wrap up of the church hiding her name is tied up with a quick sentence, but no real consequences for anyone i honestly thought she forgot about family pack IRS deal until the final chapter and that gets resolved in an unsatisfying way the pack is upset that Tessa gets viewed as an object and tricked into the contract but has no interest in making the company's wrongdoings public or trying to prevent this from happening to other omegas tessa goes over a lot of struggles of homelessness but she only thinks about food waste once after joining the pack -- you'd think she'd use her newfound wealth and power to help other homeless individuals, especially youths and omegas. even a little side note to say that a portion of tour proceeds or her family fortune would go towards public food pantries and shelters would've done something to connect her beginning character to the end character

BORING and too long
Format: Kindle
I could not believe how wordy and boring this book was. No spice at all. Slow burn is really a NO burn. Almost DNF and now I’m sorry I stuck with it. 500 pages could ave been 150 and it would have been more than enough. I highly doubt not recommend this work of yuck.

Still 4 stars
Format: Kindle
A little to much before and to much dive into the days, months before, but I still kept reading. Maybe because of that you could read about them all. I just couldn't put this book in my to read another day list. I just wanted to know what happens to them.
