Default OSH Sleeping

If water is dripping inside your tent, it is from you most likely...


Only the cheapest tents allow condensation to build up on the inner
walls and drip back down. That's the whole point of a rain fly on a
good tent -- to let condensation out (through the breathable ceiling),
but not to let rain IN.

If you have a good quality tent, you will be neither too hot at night,
nor wet when it rains. Add a good quality air bed (the kind that put
you up on 10" of air), and I will put the quality of sleep at Oshkosh up
against any night's sleep you've ever had.


A good air mattress is a great thing. Went camping at an airport once
and went through a major storm during the middle of the night. The
double wide air mattress was in a nice little dome tent. Woke up in the
morning and noticed the top of the tent looked pretty close and found
that I was floating in 8" of water. Me and my date were high and dry.
