Ventilating the tent
Proper ventilation is the key to minimizing condensation in any tent.
Keep fabric doors open as widely as the prevailing weather permits.
If bugs or drafts aren’t a problem, leave mesh doors open too. Crack
each door open from the top down; warm, moist air rises and will escape
through high openings. If the design of your tent allows, keep openings
at both ends or both sides of the tent to allow air to flow through for
best ventilation. On very hot nights, when you are confident there will be
no rain or dewfall, you can leave the flysheet off and use the inner tent
alone as a “bug tent.”
Disassembling the tent
When taking down the tent, do not stress the poles and fabrics. First,
disconnect the guy lines and release the tension from the tent. Next,
release all the poles. If your tent has pole sleeves, push the poles out of
the sleeves instead of pulling them out. To minimize the stress on the
bungee cord in the poles and to speed disassembly, fold each pole in half
first, and then fold down towards the outsides, two sections at a time.
packing the tent
If possible, fold and roll the tent rather than stuffing it into its sack—rolling
makes a smaller package, and causes fewer creases in the polyurethane
coating. The tent and poles may be carried separately for easier packing
or load sharing.
