The Lair

I'd go Kukenam. I had an Ayer and at 6 feet tall, my head and feet hit the walls. Plus barely big enough for 2 people and nothing else. Single person and a dog or a duffel is about all I could get in the Ayer.

 

I sleep in a little bit of a fetal position so that's a non issue. And that's the idea, it's only for me. That way it can have a smaller footprint over the bed and weigh less too. Plus cheaper.

 

Woo doggy, the kukenam is 54 lbs heavier and additional $1,100. No thanks.

 

They must have cut a few models out of the lineup. My Kuk at list price was only like $300 more than the ayer.

I bought mine second hand though. Sold my Ayer for 900 and bought my kuk for 800 locally.

 

Looks like REI did the SKU cutting.

From the Tepui site (of course no 20% off)

 

Huh, that's interesting. I wonder why REI jacked up the price so much.

It's too bad I don't have cash in hand ready to buy because this is the exact tent I want for $650.

Decal sighting. Main gate Fort Leonard Wood, MO

 

I honestly have no idea who that is lol

 

Same here. Thought I knew all the Taco people here

 

Its because they are selling the "ruggedized" version only (which is really dumb vs the regular model considering the folks that usually shop at REI) which has a diamond plate base, and is built a bit stouter.

 

Ahh, that makes more sense. That's dumb.

 

Yeah, if Wheelers or someone was selling it, I'd understand, but the average REI Subaru is gonna give long before a ruggedized Tepui does.

 

That's gonna look dumb! Veto. It won't be aerodynamic either

The fetal position is one of my favs. <3

Someone probably made the sticker himself. Who would do such a thing?? SMDH!

 

Surprised it isn't on a third gen...they probably have no idea what it stands for and saw it somewhere and wanted to be trendy...#deepfake

 

My gut gets in the way....

 

If I didn't see your truck in the sideview Mike I'd say this was a self portrait!

 

Way TMI Lt. Dan! What gets in the way or doesn't get in the way is between you and your jammies.

 

Yasss, this is the height I want. The tent won't be as long, allowing my spare to stay where it's at.
