[pct-l] Difficulties with base weight

[montypct]

My Lunar Solo has enough headroom for me to sit up comfortably and enough 
room beside me for gear.  24 ounces.
My Lunar Duo is big enough for four people to sit in playing cards.  39 
ounces.

A little bit of digging and I found reviews on this thing from 1999. 
Probably pretty decent for a 2 person, 3 season shelter designed in that 
time frame.

By todays UL standards, its clearly obsolete.

Speaking of Shires / Tarptent: Has anyone else noticed the several new 
products they've put out over the last year or so? Makes me want to trade up 
from my 2003 vintage Virga (I can hear it in my gear room right now 
saying...."but, but, but.....I've been with you for almost 3000 miles on the 
PCT, I'm still good.")

With a Six Moon Designs or a Henry Shires tent you could carry a spare tent
and still be way under this weight.
