I'm gearing up for my first backpacking-style elk hunt this fall (September archery). Shelter selection is on my radar and I'm concerned about condensation. The shelter that I'm leaning toward offers a liner, but I'd rather not pack/carry it if I can get away with other remedies for moderating moisture. I understand that ventilation is key, but I'm sure there's a limit. I recall a Gritty Bowmen podcast where Aron Snyder and Brian Call left their Kifaru Tut in the morning to go chase elk. They returned hours later to find their tent had turned into a tropical greenhouse, and everything was soaked. I'm thinking a liner would have prevented this.
Anyway, just thought I'd try to start a discussion about experiences with tent/shelter condensation, how often it's been an issue for you and what you did to prevent it or deal with it when it came about.
Thoughts, hints, tips and anecdotes are appreciated.
