This privacy shelter was reccomended to me by Stefani.  It looks really good, especially since it is 1/2 to 2/3s cheaper than some of the other privacy shelters out there (that actually work).

I checked one out at sportsmans warehouse.
I think it would be great for locations that don't get much wind.
Places like Goldendale would flaten it in a hurry.
Still... not bad for the price..

I have the Paha Que Teepee (Peepee Teepee) and it is super sturdy. Downside, its a bit of a pain to put up. At least the first few times.

the self-standing units are the way to go -

I bought one from REI that is designed to be hung from a cord. The top and bottom inflates to provide support. This unit _stinks_! If someone wants to try it out and see if they have better luck than I did, it's yours for free

The biggest problem with it, firstly, is that you have to find a good place to hang it up.  Since it's designed to be hung from the center, it's difficult to get it far enough out on a limb from a tree ... assuming there is a tree.  In places like Quilomene, that might not be a possibility!   Secondly, once it is hung up, the wind blows it around something awful.  So standing inside nekkid trying to shower is, let's just say, less than optimal.    Avoid!    

 



I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the noise of how awesome I am.
