We bought one this summer. So far it has been on one overnight in the Alpine (Fairbanks, AK) and we used it in the Narrows in Zion National Park. It meets our needs because you need somewhere to hang those gravity feeds, and well living in Alaska, trees aren't where we hike (alpine.) I haven't used it in heavily silted areas - just rivers and streams. It seems very solid and easy to use. Though I am now using the filter attachment on the water bags, trying to pump, keep the bag upright and the bite valve out of the water was just too much.

Though it was the right decision for us, it definitely gives your arms a workout!
