High Sierra Topix

Just a follow up. After a bunch of searching and contacting various tent/shelter makers it looks like the Bear Paw Luna 6 is the best fit for us. It is a big departure from what I'm used to using but it is big and lightweight. We'll also get the internal screen tent to make it a "sealed" system. I'll be ordering it shortly but honestly probably won't get to use it until next season.

Still gonna say it. 2 tents.

Wow, thanks for that thread FeetFirst. Funny thing is I googled BearPaw and luna and found a bunch of reviews (mostly hunters) who loved it. This was my last chance at 1 tent that I can figure out. Looks like I'm getting 2 tents. I understand the reason for 2, but I know my kids really prefer having everyone sleep in 1 tent, and remember they are still young (7 and 9) so keeping them happy and secure at night is one of my big goals.

There are other pyramids with similar dimensions available from reputable brands. The Luna 6 is spec'd at 120" x 120" square footprint and 72" - 78" tall. Take a look at Oware USA's 10' x 10' pyramid (http://shop.bivysack.com/Pyramid-Tarp-1 ... d10x10.htm). I'm pretty sure they make an "inner" too, but I don't see it on their website so you'll need to send them an email to check. Or, Mountain Laurel Designs' Supermid at 9' x 9' with inner net (https://mountainlaureldesigns.com/product/supermid/).

My searches had not turned up Oware. Those look nice, I'll ping them about an inner net.

Thanks!
