1. Throw the whole thing behind the pole. There is a yellow tab on one of the tieouts. This is the back centre pegging point.

2. Attach the 3 back tieouts to the corresponding pegs on the Trailstar outer. Attach the mid tieouts at this point too, if you think they’re needed.

3. With the 2OookStar still flat, line up the top hole and the bottom hole.

4. Lift the pole and drop the end through both holes into the ground.

5. Grab the cord and lift the whole thing up. Clip the cord to the apex hook in the Trailstar apex and adjust until the 2OookStar looks tight.

6. Peg out the two front tieouts.

7. Tighten the drawcords on the OookGussets to keep wee beasties out.

Done

Privacy on those occasional campsite pitches and protection if the wind and rain change direction in the night. Fast and simple to fit and remove, adjustable and only 35g!

Update: There’s been a fair old flurry of interest in these already so I’ll get them on the main site ASAP. In the meantime they are £35 inc UK shipping and if you want one just get in touch.

Sometimes I get unusual requests for custom work, and this was more unusual than most.

An Akto tub with an 8″ high silnylon extension to deter slithering slimies, giving a total tub height of 12″

Corner struts keep everything tight and a zipped flap makes for easy access.

Finally, the first 2OookNest is done. This one will be off to Wales with us this weekend for a bit of product testing. The pictures are pretty self explanatory I think, but it’s basically a two person inner for the Golite SL3 which allows for a decent porch space. It pitches and drops under the outer too, which should make for a more pleasant experience in shite weather.

This particularly one has the heavier 70D PU nylon floor and weighs 730g.

Cost will be £160 using a 70D PU or 30D silnylon floor and as with all the nests will be available in any combination of mesh and ripstop that takes your fancy.

2OookNest dimensions

Hybrid cuben/ripstop/mesh OookNest for the MLD Duomid.

The goal was a full size Duomid OookNest with no compromises for under 300g. By no compromises I mean no reduction in size, no bonkers 0.1oz cuben groundsheet, a full T-zip, storage pockets…

I failed miserably. It’s 315g.

Sorry Robin

Check out the cuben/mesh pockets - bonded to the back wall.

Cuben fibre Oooktub for the Trailstar. Same footprint as the OookStar, 90mm bathtub, corner struts -125g

This one has a different shape to the standard and a smaller footprint. Using a 60cm high ripstop wall and a 30D silnylon floor it weighs 330g. Packed size is tiny.

I’m thinking of offering this as a standard item if there is interest in it. An all mesh version would be lighter still and nice for summer bug protection.

It has the working title of the BartStar* after the customer who came up with the layout idea.

The first ripstop OookStar*. The first one with zippered vents. And the first one to be going to the US.
