    DIY tarp thought and Sierra Madre Research 'Nube'

    So I've recently discovered the Nube, after the Kickstarter had closed. There is some great thought around the design, with a few areas leaving me scratching my head. My main question to the group, while I ponder a DIY tarp, is as follows.

    Has anyone successfully integrated a bugnet into a tarp? Pros and cons that you have found? I'm also interested In the way the suspension runs through the tarp 'sleeves'. Seems like this would be a great way to bypass doors, grizz beaks/peak beeks, and some form of drip system. Anybody ever try this approach?

    My main head scratching area is around how high this system sits in relation to the ground. Seems like it would be too drafty in the winter/cooler months or make entry a challenge with very low sides if hung lower. Overall, I appreciate their thought in design and their overall mission to help others in need - just not sure their product is a fit for me personally. And, most true, I'm a bit DIY obsessed lately....
