Description

1P Bug Shelter - a lightweight net tent for tarp camping

The 1P Bug Shelter is the roomier inner for the Cirriform system that also works with many basic tarps. Near-vertical end walls and a deep tub provide elbow room and keep fabric from encroaching on your face and feet while you sleep. It's built for hikers who spend most of their shelter time horizontal, but want a little more comfort when they're not - whether that's reading before bed or just having room to change layers.

  • Dual Entry
    Front and side entry options adapt to different tarp configurations and conditions.
  • Elbow Room
    Near-vertical end walls and a deep tub keep fabric off your face and feet.
  • Floating Tub
    The tub suspends from its top corners to keep it taut and functional.
  • Durable Floor
    20D Silpoly with PeU coating and taped seams - selected to balance low weight with durability and puncture resistance.
  • Modular System
    Designed for the Cirriform; works with many A-frame tarps.
  • Recycled Materials
    Floor fabric, webbing, and thread are made from recycled materials.

Elbow Room

The end walls rise nearly vertically at the head and foot, keeping the fabric off your face and feet while you sleep. The tub flares wider toward the top, providing more usable space than the footprint suggests - closer to a tent experience than our Bug Bivy.


Dual Entry

The side entry is the everyday option when paired with the Cirriform - easy to get in and out. Use the front entry when weather moves in to keep your sleeping area covered. With other tarps, having both options gives you flexibility depending on how you've pitched your tarp.


Pair it with a tarp

The Bug Shelter is designed to pair with the 1P or 2P Cirriform, and that's where it performs best. It also works with most tapered or flat tarps - for a good pitch, use a ridgeline at least 92" long, ideally longer for some end overhang. A 7' x 9' or 7'/5' x 9' tarp is about the smallest we recommend.

If you want an inner that pairs more easily with a wider range of tarps, the Y-zip Bug Bivy is the more versatile option.


Notes/FAQ:

  • Do I need a groundsheet? A groundsheet is not required, but using one will help extend the life of any shelter floor.
  • Do I need to seal the seams? No, the seams at the corners of the tub are taped.
  • How much headroom does it have? The head apex sits at roughly 42" (107cm). Whether you can sit up comfortably depends on your height, torso length, sleeping pad thickness, and personal preference. Many hikers find it comfortable; taller hikers may want to think of it more as a glorified bivy.
  • Can I use it without a tarp? The Bug Shelter provides no rain protection on its own. On nice nights, it can be pitched without a tarp using additional guyline or our stand-alone rigging kit - see the Set-up & Use tab for details.
  • Will this work with a mid-style tarp? No - the Bug Shelter is designed for A-frame tarps. The height of the shelter makes clearance too tight under the sloping walls of a pyramid-style tarp.

Required items (not included):

The items needed to pitch your Bug Shelter will vary depending on your approach. See the Set up & Use tab for more info.

  • A tarp: For rain protection
  • Front Pole: At least ~44" (~111cm)(a taller pole is ok but you'll want to keep it under ~45" (114cm) if using it with a 1P Cirriform)
  • Rear Pole: At least ~31" (~79cm)
    (taller pole is ok)
  • Rigging: If you plan to pitch your Bug Shelter on its own (not under a tarp) you will need additional guyline or our Stand-alone rigging kit. If using tent poles or trekking poles without baskets, you may also need two of our guyline grommets (not needed with stand-alone kit). See the Set up & Use tab for more information.

Set up & Use
Pitching Instructions

Download the appropriate pitching guide and look through the rigging information below to get started with your Bug Shelter.


Rigging

Your Bug Shelter comes with the following rigging included. Use this rigging to connect your Bug Shelter to your tarp per the instructions below.


Installing the rigging at the Apexes

3/32" Shock cord is used to suspend your Bug Shelter from your tarp's apexes or ridgeline. Using 10" (25cm) at the head end and 20" (51cm) at the foot is a good starting point for use with the 1P Cirriform.

  • Note: You will do the following twice; once for each end of the net-tent.
  • At one end of the shock cord, tie on a mitten hook. We suggest a clinch knot.
  • Thread the cord through the webbing loop at the net-tent's apexes (front to back at the head end, and back to front at the foot end).
  • Pass the cord through a cord lock.
  • Tie a loop on the loose end of the cord. We suggest a simple overhand loop knot.

Installing rigging at the corners

1/16" Shock cord is used to connect the top corners of the tub to your tarp's corners. We recommend installing tensionlocks (10mm size) at the floor's corners for easy adjustment. For use with the 1P Cirriform, start with lengths of 30" (76cm) at the front corners and 24" (61cm) at the rear corners.

  • Using a girth hitch, install a tensionlock on the upper tie-out loop at each of the tub's corners.
  • Tie a mitten hook to the end of each cord. We like to use a clinch knot.
  • Thread the untied end of the shockcord through the tensioner as shown (first through the middle opening from bottom to top, then through the remaining hole from top to bottom).
  • Tie a loop in the untied end of the cord. We like to use an overhand loop knot.
  • Repeat at each corner

If you want to pitch the Bug Shelter by itself (without a tarp), there are two approaches:

  1. With additional guyline: You'll need six stakes, your poles and additional guyline for the apexes. 72" of line for the front and 60" for the foot is plenty. See guyline options here.
  2. Stand alone rigging kit: With our stand alone rigging kit, the Bug Shelter pitches with four stakes and your poles.

The pitching guide linked at the top of the page provides instruction on each method.

Longevity, scent, quality 10/10
Style: Most Popular
I’ve gone through just about the whole box and I will be buying more. I bought these early November 2025 and now that it’s almost May of 2026 I’m down to my last two bars so id say they last awhile. I use them for body wash and will be using them for hand soap once I go through my stash of bar soaps from other brands. It lathers nicely, with a light scent, natural not over bearing chemical scents. I use this as body wash and hand soap. I haven’t noticed any skin irritation, just a good ole natural soap (: I love how there’s no plastic in sight other than maybe amazon packaging

Better than expected...
Style: For Him
I love going to a craft show or a place that sells a handcrafted soap. A good craftsperson can produce a high-quality soap that cleanses, moisturizes, and leaves a good scent. I gave these a shot after running out of those soaps. They did beat my expectations. I thought these would be a factory produced and chemically. While you can tell these are churned out pretty regularly in some sort of factory, the overall quality is good. Each scent is full and unique without being overpowering. They seem to be natural and not generic chemical smells. Really enjoy each of the unique scents. The bars themselves aren't that big. They come in a piece of cardboard and are very uniform. There is some texture to the soap, as well as an added bit of something to give it some grit. I like it. This isn't lava soap but there is something (about the size of fresh ground pepped) mixed throughout each bar. A drawback overall is how long they last. I would estimate less than a week for a daily user. I thought, given the denseness, they would last for a longer than they do. I'll probably use the entire box in under a month. Of note is the lack of slimy or slipperiness to the soap. I like this. Some soaps that I've used in the past leave you slimy and you can barely hang on to the bar. This rinses very well and doesn't make you feel slimy. Overall, these are a good replacement for the 'true' homemade soap. I am happy with them and would purchase them again.

Game changer!!!!
Style: For Him
Like a lot of folk who watch youtube I have been bombarded by Dr. Squatch soap ads over the last couple yrs. Couple that with my new mission of doing things as close to natural as I can, and my interest was peaked. I then did what most folks do when they want to learn more about said product, I went to the site and dropped a proverbial brick in my shorts when I looked at the price!!! I didn't want to give up on swapping the basement lab experiment that is my normal body wash for something more natural, but I also didn't want to sell one (or both) of my kids to do it. Enter crate 61. I didn't know this company from adam, they just had a "manly" variety box at a decent price with simple ingredients so why not. I'm here to tell you I'm never going back to "normal" body wash again. I have the definition of combination skin. My father's skin was greasy, my moms skin is bone dry. Therefore for the first hour after my shower I have tumble weeds rolling across my forehead, and from then on, It feels like I headbutted an oil tanker. After a couple days of using this soap I felt 1000% more balanced. It's not a miracle in a bar, but I have never felt moisturized AND clean getting out of the shower in my whole life. Those effects last hours. Eventually I get greasy again but you can't fight nature regardless (this also does't claim too) but the point is I feel great. The main ingredients in all of the bars are a combination of olive oil, coconut oil, avocado and palm oil with other variations depending on the bar. Those good oils have been proven to have an anti inflammatory effect on the skin and while I wouldn't call it a cure for acne, my skin is much clearer. I chalk it up to simple ingredients vs chemicals in modern soaps. As far as the scents, It's a mixed bag and completely subjective. Beside I have never had a shower wash of any kind stick around for more than an hr anyway so It's a moot point. I for one dig some, not others, hence the variety pack but I'll know what to order going forward. The 6 bars do come in a very nice box and while it would be a fine gift as packaged, it tends to combine the smells until they are removed for a day or so. In regards to longevity, 1 bar has so far lasted 2 weeks with only half gone. I'm an average dude but I'm bald (i use it for hair soap too with no dandruff) and basically take military showers so millage may vary. I recommend using a loofa and turn the heat down on your shower just a little. If you use the bar directly on your skin in a hot shower it's probably going to disappear quick. Honestly I'm ecstatic over this product and even recommended it to my sister who has the same dry vs greasy daily epic battle type skin as I do. The only downside so far is the eucamint bar I'm using now is not my fav and I want to move on but its holding up like a champ, go figure! UPDATE: 4/12/20 I'm still not through the entire box of soap and it still feels great to shower with. I have 2 full bars left after all this time so longevity is a plus. I have noticed that using a loofa less is more. I actually get a better scent out of the soap if I don't go crazy with it, just a few quick rubs on the loofa and I'm golden plus I bought a soap saver and keep it on the opposite end of the shower head. In all fairness I shower about 2 to 3 times a week with Neutrogena acne soap because of the aforementioned greasy skin but this soap helps keep that soap from drying everything out too much.

Easy recommendation
Style: For Him
Actual reviewer, not paid to make this, nor was incentivized. Great value - these soaps last around 3 months each. Scents are non-offensive, soap doesn't leave my skin dry, and I feel clean afterward. They also lather up really well!
