Some summer trips in the Western US are fine with just the Lair, but during mosquito season,the Pyranet would be essential.

I honestly can'...Hi Michael ... tough question.<br /><br />I honestly can't say that one is better than the other in general terms but it's fair to say they both excel in certain areas. If you're wanting something that's simple to pitch, will keep the rain off you, the bugs away and give you lots of undercover storage/cooking space then the Lunar is superb. However, if you want something a little more versatile then the Lair can't be beaten. For me the option of using the inner during summer and just the tarp in winter means I can always keep my kit weight as low as possible.<br /><br />I suppose my ideal shelter would be a Lair and PyraNet but with a few custom add ons. I would have a silnylon 'door' added to the front of the net and 12" silnylon extensions on the other 3 sides. I'd also add an extended beak to the Lair but only a half size one. Those mods will obviously add weight and cost but I think they'd make a great shelter even better.<br /><br />If you'll always require bug protection and a groundsheet then the Lunar might be the best bet but if your requirements will vary, then the Lair set up is very difficult to fault. If weights an issue just remember that the Lunar will weigh less than a combined Lair and Pyranet ... although there's not that much in it.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Bearbonesnormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304186884148230946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598248880791626759.post-87354927419845690902013-07-16T17:06:22.166-07:002013-07-16T17:06:22.166-07:00If you were to choose between the Lunar Solo and t...If you were to choose between the Lunar Solo and the Bearpaw Lair with Pyranet, which one and why?

It's the first thing I've seen since buying my SMD 'Skyscape Scout' that I think I might like the look of more!gairymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937690092046295629noreply@blogger.com
