I have one of the benefits of a tarp / Deschutes / Gatewood etc. that can just roll over to pee. Having said that, most times in the Lunar Solo I just unzip and arch my back.
[EDIT: I should add that I used to work down sewers so perhaps not as squeamish as some].

In light of the previous posts, I wondered where this was going.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 11:53 am One point when comparing a Gatewood to something else .... the hood makes a fantastic vent

Had a little play at attempting to improve the polycyro sheet.
Cut to match the size of the Gatewood Cape, doubled the ends over to hopefully strengthen, then gaffa taped the corners and in them a small section of Never Tear 270u paper. It is the paper I use to make number boards and very strong. Heavy duty hole punch through the middle to peg out if needed.
63g, so an increase of ~20g. Still packs small.
Just not sure on the pegs as I have some MSR alloy pegs but they are much longer than needed so might cut them down, although many trips I won't bother taking pegs.
