Front view of the MSR Missing Link with front door closed and mesh window opened.   The mesh window pictured above can be closed with a solid fabric panel.

The shelter includes 5 guy points (not used in the setup for the photos): 1 at center rear, 1 each on each side of rear, and 1 each at top of poles.

3/4 view of the Missing Link.

The tent is supported by two treking poles (not included).  In the setup above, 7 stakes were used: 3 at rear, 2 at front (next to pole base) and 2 at front of awning.

 

Rear view of the Missing Link.  Under windy conditions, it would be best to face the rear of this shelter into the prevailing wind.  That will allow the shelter to shed wind best and it will allow the low-rear-low and high-front vent system to function best.

View of the Missing Link with front door open and 5'11" model on the inside. The blue arrows are pointing at the a strip of mesh at the top front of the Missing Link which provides ventilation.  The top mesh strip is always open but protected by the front awning..

View of two Therm-A-Rest Standard Long sleeping pads in the interior of the MSR Missing Link.

Same two pads as in picture at left.

Note the mesh strip at the rear of the shelter between the floor and the rear wall.  This mesh strip is always open but protected by the rear tent fabric.
