Looks like a nice shelter. I would like to see one in person and try it out ,set up tear down, etc. I have been looking to replace my Shappell rover 1.0 for a while.

I like the idea of the sled with the popup attachment. It has to be easier to pull than the thermal because of weight reduction.

It is also the best of both worlds, roominess of the hub along with portability of a flip-over.  Being attached to a sled as a base should make it a little more stationary in a light wind.  Last thing a iwant is to go chasing a shanty that catches the wind and goes for an un-piloted ride a crossed the lake.  Using ice anchors on a hub would limit mobility.
