Great design! Light weight and very versatile. If you are not used to using a tarp it takes some practice to be able to set it up quickly. The trekking poles don't stay in the sewn in cups very well. All in all, I would recommend this for anyone looking for a quality tarp.

Does it have a footprint or bathtub floor?

I use the go lite sing regularly. I definitely took me a couple of trips to get the hang of pitching it. I only use a pole at the front and guy out the back with cord to a tree. You can almost always find 1 tree in the right place. I use the rear guy line as a makeshift laundry line. I also use a piece of non-skid shelf liner or jar-opener or similar between the pole and the tent at the top. Keeps pole in place and protects tarp. I am thinking of getting the screen nest though as I have become a bit too familiar with both forest floor creatures(mainly mice/chipmunks) who really don't mind bunking in with you during the night.
