Stop Searching for Flat Ground. Start Camping Anywhere.
The Nubé MK IV: Dual-mode shelter that weighs under 4 lbs and sets up in 5 minutes—aerial or ground, your choice
The Problem
Weight Penalty
Standard tent setup: 7-11 lbs. Nubé complete system: Under 4 lbs.
You're hauling 4-7 extra pounds for no reason.
Terrain Dependency
Tents require flat, dry, rock-free ground. Finding suitable spots eats 15-30 minutes per setup. Amazing campsites with incredible views? Often unusable because of terrain.
Your shelter dictates where you can camp.
Setup Time Drain
Traditional tent: 15-20 minutes. Nubé knotless system: 5 minutes or less.
That's 30+ minutes per day you're wasting on setup instead of enjoying your trip.
WEIGHT PENALTY

Common Questions (Answered Fast)
Can two people really sleep in this?
Ground mode is 12x9 ft—LARGER than most 2-person tents. Aerial mode is for solo camping, or couples can each bring a Nubé.
What if there are no trees?
That's the breakthrough—convertible floor means you camp on the ground. Same shelter, different mode, 5-minute conversion.
Is it complicated to set up?
Knotless design. Integrated suspension with carabiners. Master it in one 10-minute practice session. Easier than tent pole assembly.
Will it actually keep us dry?
1600mm + 2000mm waterproof ratings exceed the 1500mm industry standard. Tested in Pacific Northwest multi-day storms. It doesn't leak.
Isn't hammock camping cold?
Add an underquilt for aerial mode (like using a sleeping pad in a tent). Ground mode works with regular pads. The shelter is season-neutral.
Is $209-309 worth it?
Quality tent ($250-400) + 2 pads ($100-200) + extras ($30-50) = $380-650. Nubé: $209-309. You save money while gaining dual-mode capability.
Why Sierra Madre
This isn't a first-attempt product. It's the result of continuous improvement based on thousands of customer camping nights and real feedback.
Military-grade 15D-20D ripstop fabrics with reinforced seams. This is gear built for backcountry punishment, not casual car camping.
Every purchase = 1 year of clean water access provided to communities in need. Adventure with impact.
The convertible floor exists because customers said 'we need ground mode backup.' The knotless system exists because 'complicated knots are frustrating.' Innovation driven by real needs.
Your Next Step
The choice is immediate. Adventure season is happening now. Every weekend you camp with a traditional tent is a weekend you're carrying extra weight, wasting setup time, limiting campsite options, missing elevated experiences.
