Considering purchasing the LBO nest and would like to hear from anyone who uses/has used one in a 4 man tipi. Specifically I'd like to hear how well it fits the space if the tipi is being used as a solo shelter. In my mind it's main use would be in the warmer months so I could leave both doors on the tipi open at night to thwart some of the condensation issues when camping in high humidity areas such as river bottoms.
Thanks.
Edit:
In an attempt to get some feedback I'm broadening the scope of my question...
I would like to hear from anyone who has used the LBO nest, in any style shelter. Worthwhile addition to your shelter? Do you feel it's a better option than integrated screen doors?

As stated above in my edit, would like to hear from anyone who uses the LBO Nest in any type of shelter, not just the 4 man tipi.
Thanks.

I’m not going to be much help here but I would like to see this thread progress and I did just spent the weekend in a Cimarron half nest. IIRC, it’s ~10” longer and 5” wider than the LBO nest.

My brother and I (both 6’+ and ~250lbs) were able to share the nest comfortably on 25” pads. Lots of extra space length-wise. it took a few tries to get it pitched taut with the line-loc’s so I think moving forward I’ll just stake the two inside corners to the ground.

My original plan was to have Borah Gear sew a custom nest to my dimensions with a DCF floor. He said he was happy to do the work but saves custom projects for the off season and I didn’t have that kind of time. maybe something to consider for your 4p? Some sort of nest/bivy hybrid if it’s just for solo?

I did look into door netting but ultimately decided I pitch the Cimarron too high off the ground to gain any benefits from that. I ended up with several salamanders taking refuge from the rain in my shelter, so I’m glad I brought the nest.
