    Lunar Duo = Slippn' Slide :)

    I've heard multiple ideas and ways to rectify this issue. I want to hear from the man himself on what I should do. I use a Insul Air mat and man i wake up multiple times a night just to realign myself from sliding. HELP!

    The other issue I ever had is locating the entrance holes for the Easton poles. VERY difficult to see, is there a way to highlight the entrance hole. Not very fun to look for such a small hole in the dark and cold rain coming down hard. 

    This tent is my lil baby and I need to make the best out of it.

    Silicone Nylon floors are known for their propensity to leave one bunched up in a corner of the tent after sliding around for a while. However, time and few strips of sealer painted on the floor can do a reasonable job of allowing you to stick to one spot.

    Over time, dust and grit will work its way into the coating. This will significantly reduce nighttime slippage.

    In the meantime painting strips of sealer on the floor every foot will help to anchor the pad. I’ve know that some people also strip their pads in a similar manner. Since I’ve not tried that method, I can’t comment about its effectiveness.

    Good Luck.
