I do have pics, but wasn't able to make it home last night.
A wind storm came through while I was out of town, knocked down a tree limb which took out the power at the house. When it did it also shorted one of my flat screen tv's and possibly my dryer. Won't know until they get power to the house restored.
Haven't had time to get pics downloaded yet.

Originally posted by old killer View PostGreat pictures. I can tell from them we couldn't hunt together, no way I could stay at that elevation long.
I try to camp around 8,500 feet and seldom hunt above 10,000 feet. I can't function long or sleep well above 9,500 ft.
I woke up Sunday morning with some symptoms of altitude sickness, packed up and descended to lower elevation.
I will be planning future camps at 10k or below if possible, we'll see.

3D,
How is the SL5 without the nest or floor? My buddy and I are gonna be using an SL5 in NV for an archery deer hunt and we are debating using the nest or not. I guess my biggest heartburn is bugs but with the nest you also loose some space and for 2 guys it may be more cramped than we want. The SL5 is new and other than backyards sets it'll be it's maiden voyage.

This was the first trip for mine as well.
I think it depends on where you set up, the first night was set up in a cut aspen grove. Lots of ants and bugs. Only had a problem with one bug getting on me that night that I know of.....lol.
Up in the timber, where the picture was taken, no problems at all except for flies.
I don't think I would like the nest, unless mosquitos or flies were real bad.

Also, I know Golite makes a floor only(I think you loose space though) and there are companies that will sew in custom floors(loose less space). Is that something you think would be useful help keep the crawlies out?
There is also a good chance I am way over thinking this.
