The Pathfinder Pole Shelter Kit is extremely versatile. I'm keeping mine in my main pack along with a spare set of OneTigris poles as part of my EDC. In addition to countless other applications, it makes an excellent sun shade (which I employed recently) as well as a quick deploy duck in shelter in inclement weather. The quality materials, thoughtfulness of design and ease of use are exceptional. I couldn't be happier with this kit and highly recommend it.
