Nope ... two vents to fight the evils of condensation though!
Plus, if it gets cold ... source of firewood at the ready!

If it ain't a privy, it could be a Vermont tollbooth. Clever at turnin' the tourist buck, them Vermonters are.
It's a shelter for the train yard workers.
have shelter will travel at least the mice cant keep up
What? No ad for power bars or SUV's on the side of that? :)

I saw an article about these in some backpacking magazine not long ago.
If I remember right it comes with its own mice! There are mesh panels that roll down to cover the windows, a skylight in the roof, a shelter register and you can upgrade to a thicker padded suspension system.
What a great idea...a tent that's also your pack, privy and bus stop at in one easy to carry package.
Does anyone know when they go on sale ?
I checked REI, Backcountry, Mountain Gear, Campmor & EMS - No one has them in stock.
It's amazing that this photograph was taken at Spence Field...they didn't waste any time timbering that area...those logging trains haul the trees out quick. Too bad they viewed all those forests as "wasted revenue" but I guess they'll grow back.
Taking the "home on you back" way too serious, ms.

Ever since childhood, Lester had an inordinate fear of using public restrooms.
