Lunar Solo

I took this out for the first time on a Grand Canyon backcountry trip and it had to pull through for me. It sure did! I had it up fast everday, it was strong, held up to the wind, and so much room in the inside! Practice a few times pitching it and no worries. Pitch it the right direction, keep wind out from under, and care for the condenation. If you do these things, this tent will make you grateful you have such a good quality shelter. Perfect.

I look forward to trying some of your other gear.

I just used the tent for the first time on Mt. Hood Timberline trail (west side only from the Lodge due to the fire in the East) for 3 nights. My friend also used hers, exactly the same one for her first time. We both took for a while to figure out how to locate the stakes so that the tent has the best angles of the top slopes, not sagging (we did some practice at home as well and recommend to do so). After the first night my friend used the strings on the both sides to tie using the attached holes on the sides of the tent but I didn't use. The third night was a bit windy and the ground was very sandy and so I needed to put rocks on stakes to prevent the tent to get blown away. I definitely like the light weight and the compact size in my backpack. Only thing I was not sure is how to put the tent back in the small bag nicely with the top hard U shape (for the vent). I thought I would damage the part and needed to be careful. I'd like to hear the advice for it.

Its a great tent. It really is simple to pitch, using 1 pole. I recommend practicing a a bunch of times in different conditions in your yard or somewhere BEFORE you actually take it out in the wilderness to use it.. as with any other tent and gear. There is so much room inside for sleeping, riding out a storm or hiding out from mosquitoes! After many years and many tarps, tents and other shelters in a all 4 seasons, I always come back for my beloved Lunar Solo. The weight is spot on, its packs down very small, it pitches incredibly fast and breaks down even faster.

So far I’ve taking this tent on a solo ridge hike in Oahu and out in the ancient lava fields of the Big Island of Hawaii! It’s held on with winds up to 15 mph and gusts up to 25! Feels like more. But so far I’m loving this shelter. It’s a pretty good tent. I love how easy it is to pitch. The guy line tensioning system is a no brainer.

As a 6’6 person i was always scared of finding a backpacking tent to fit. Then i found Six Moon solo tent. I have more than enough room inside without my face or feet touching any of the walls. And even crazier i have some room on either side. First night on the trail was it was a summer thunderstorm night and i was completely dry and able to do some activities ( like changing into dry clothes ) in my tent. Highly recommend for any tall hikers or people with a dog because you fill fit. Highly recommend the YouTube videos if you are having trouble pitching, it makes alot more sense and able to do it very quickly after one watch. Highly recommend
