Nemo Equipment Bugout Shelter

No, the Bugout is a poleless shelter designed to be suspended between trees using the included guy lines. If you are camping in an area without trees, you can also set it up using trekking poles or paddles.

The Bugout is primarily designed as a bug-free zone and sun shade. While the mesh is water-repellent and can handle light side-blown rain, it is not a fully waterproof tent and should not be relied upon as your primary shelter during heavy storms.

The mesh walls are integrated into the shelter and provide 360-degree protection from insects. When you want an open-air experience, you can easily roll and stow the walls away using the built-in toggles.

No, the Bugout is a floorless canopy system. It is designed to be placed over a picnic table, camp chairs, or your existing sleeping setup to create a protected living space.

The shelter weighs 3 pounds, making it relatively lightweight for its size. Because it lacks a rigid pole structure, it packs down much smaller than a traditional tent, fitting easily into a standard backpack.
