Getting soaked is the absolute worst. How much condensation do you get and what do you do about it?

Double wall tent for the win. Totally worth the few ounces to me to have that separation and keep the sleeping kit as dry as possible. I have been using the sierra designs high route 1p this season and it’s been stellar.
cool, whereabouts do you hike?
Colorado Rocky Mountains. Mostly Pike and Arapahoe national forest.
Nothing more miserable than waking up soaking wet. Learning to sleep under trees, not out in the open, was key to me staying (mostly) dry. Skurka’s page on site selection really helped drill into my head how important it is.
Do you have a link to Skurkas page?

This is amazing!
I do not
My new tent has tons of ventilation, so I got no condensation when I tested it. If you completely batten down the hatches and have no ventilation, you are guaranteed to get some condensation.
that is true for sure. site selection plays a role as well. where are you located?
California central coast.
