Ranger -

Yes, finding the "right" space CAN be an issue.  There were times when I had to put the unit up over the tops of big rocks & bushes, etc..  You learn to get creative.  I DID use it fairly often but, eventually, I sold it.  I've thought about getting a smaller Lean shelter from CCS... maybe a 1, possibly a 2.  Leans are about as lightweight a shelter option as you're going to find (no poles).  Also, you can easily get 2 people & ALL of their gear in the Lean 3.  Hopefully you have the right-sized ground sheet for the Lean, especially in June-July-August.  Otherwise, if you're NOT camping on bare rock, you'll soon discover - as I did - that significant numbers of skeeters will emerge from the moss, etc., below to join you during your slumber.

Bottom Line: My Lean 3 was simply overkill for my needs on most trips and, yes, it did pose challenges in finding the right space for set-up.
