The Lunar Solo’s floating bathtub incorporates a fair amount of elastic. The resulting stretchiness makes it frustratingly difficult to work the zippers. Using two hands to unzip the door is a minor inconvenience, but one that I notice every time I try to get into this tent. The new paddle pocket on the front of the pack is probably my favorite new feature, and the expanded front zipper pocket gave me the extra room to stash items I wanted to access during the day...these pockets are invaluable. I've been using the Flex Pack on packrafting (and backcountry ski) trips since it first came out a few years ago, and was stoked to see the new design improvements in the Flex PR. The removable bottom stabilizer straps are perfect for packrafters using portage barrels and help ensure heavy loads ride easily.
Background reading
For Issue 08, we invited several contributors to return and pick up where earlier trips and ideas left off and also feature a handful of first-timers whose perspectives we’ve long been eager to share... The special edition 10th issue of The Bikepacking Journal is one you won’t want to miss! It features 25% more pages with extra stories, bonus art and maps, and much more... We think the Lunar Duo is an excellent choice for backpacking pairs, which is why it’s featured on our lists of the Best Backpacking Tents and Best Ultralight Tents. These have not been repaired or modified by us after production so please do not purchase this if you do not want to potentially deal with the issue. Save money with the award-winning Lunar Solo tent – and buy more of the ultralight gear on your list.

The Lunar Duo's two vestibules can be deployed to multiple positions. When fully open, it provides maximum cross ventilation, keeping you cool and those pesky mosquitoes at bay. They can be raised or lowered, ensuring that you can achieve the optimum configuration for the weather you're likely to encounter. The Lunar Duo's vertical sidewalls prevent rain falling into the tent. ✓ 6-in mesh lining above the bathtub floor increases ventilation and keeps you further from the canopy walls, so you stay nice and dry.

And the Republican Chairwoman decides, I’m going to open an investigation, look at how these administrations are handling it, because it doesn’t look good from where I sit. And the House last winter invites the leaders of several of these elite schools, Harvard, Penn, MIT, and Columbia, to come and testify in Washington on Capitol Hill before Congress. And I’m able to — all members of the public, you’re able to walk through.
Can I — I just have a question for you, which is all journalism, student journalism or not student journalism, is a first draft of history. And I wonder if we think of this as a historic moment for Columbia, how you imagine it’s going to be remembered. Having the encampment happen on the Wednesday morning of the hearing was an incredible, in some senses, interesting strategy to direct eyes to different places. And so in my time of being a reporter, of being an editor, I’ve overseen several protests. And I’ve never seen Columbia penalize a group for, quote, unquote, not authorizing a protest. Since October 7, there has certainly been constant escalation in terms of tension on campus.
If you’re looking for a roomy, ultralight shelter at an exceptionally affordable price, there are few tents that compare to the Six Moon Designs Lunar Duo. Two doors and vestibules are practically essential in our book, especially when traveling as a pair. The Lunar Duo has a large door on each side, so there’s no waiting in line to get out of the weather or crawling over your partner when nature calls at night.
The caliber 240 is a beautiful piece of work, with every component carefully finished. The three steady pins for the balance cock are domed and mirror-polished on both sides. The dial, a crucial aspect of its design, showcases 18k rose gold with celadon green color, hand-grained to perfection, offering a textured, matte surface that complements the polished, alpha-shaped hands. At the heart of the Parmigiani Toric Petite Seconde lies the PF780 manual winding movement with 60 hours of power reserve.
The choice of an ice-blue color for the dial not only enhances the visual allure but also sets a new standard in Rolex's color palette, being richer and more pronounced than previous iterations. The case measures 39mm in diameter with a polished finish and the bezel is divided into an upper domed section and a lower finely fluted section. The casing of the L.U.C XPS Forest Green is crafted from Lucent Steel, a proprietary alloy known for its high luster and sustainability, boasting a recycling rate of at least 80%. The case measures 40mm in diameter and a mere 7.20mm in thickness, making for a slim and elegant dress watch. It is powered by L.U.C 96.12-L movement that measures a mere 3.30mm in thickness, incorporating a sophisticated 22k ethical gold micro-rotor. The movement is COSC certified, ensuring that it operates within -4 to +6 seconds per day.
✓ Made with 100% Silicone-coated Polyester material to reduce fabric stretch and pack volume. The Silver Shadow Series provides a large reflective surface on top to deflect sunlight and a black underside to absorb wandering rays, allowing you to walk cooler and better protected. Its coating sheds water easily, eliminating the need to wear sweaty rain gear.
The sunburst old-silver-toned shade creates a subtle contrast with the pink gold hands and hour-markers, adding a two-tone twist to this model. The watch is paired with a matching olive-green alligator leather strap. The Rolex 1908 Platinum is fitted with a luxurious black alligator leather strap lined with green calfskin. It is equipped with the state-of-the-art 7140 automatic movement featuring silicon hairspring, proprietary shock absorbers, and 66 hours of power reserve. Rolex fine tunes the movement to -2/+2 seconds per day variation, surpassing the standards set by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The ultimate pack for packrafting, trail work, hunting or anytime you need to carry an awkward load.
I’m all for the soft bag format and appreciate how the bike rides and the reliability of the setup. But it’s nice to relax away from all that at the end of the day and not feel the potentially claustrophobic expression of minimalism at camp. Tarps are an appealing and highly functional solution, but I live and often travel in places where flies, mosquitoes, and midges are an issue. I’ve never camped with a bivvy bag, nor do I have plans to.
