Easy to set up. It provides a huge amount of bug-free space, which allows a safe-haven to cook, clean up, organize gear, etc. all while the skeeters watch you from afar. Sure, you can find a lighter weight setup, but you'll also be locked into a much smaller area. I fought hordes of mosquitoes last year in the Sierra, and this piece of gear helped me keep my sanity. Love that I'm not zipped into a body-sized bug net with gear on the outside of the netting where I can't get to it without letting skeeters in. As far as getting in and out, if the bug pressure was heavy, most of the time I simply lifted the front end up and ducked under it real quick. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157733515519478&set=a.10157733513169478&type=3&theater
