This product is great. Easy to set up and sturdy and does no rabble. I like the way it attaches to three trees. I set it up on the first day I got it. It has a bug net and a rain fly that work well. It is packed in a handy carry pack with z strap and fits neatly into my backpack. It will work great to backpacking in the white mountains.

I tried out the Una for two nights while camping in Northern California in July. I chose three redwood trees for the base.

Bought this for my son's birthday present. He's always been talking about sleeping in the trees like the birds, so I thought of purchasing this so he could sleep pirched up from his tree loft. My son isn't to big (50lbs). Helped him set it up the first time with ease. No issues yet but definitely scored some dad cool points.
