One-man Shelter

[hjcruger]

That is a killer setup! Paratarp with annex was on my short list of shelters a year ago.

I love that you integrated the two, so you can really lock down the shelter for foul weather. Do you get condensation issues?

I haven't been able to get out into the field with it yet. That being said, leaving it pitched for a few hours in the lawn left some condensation from the grass. I haven't been in a shelter with a single layer of fabric that doesn't get some condensation on the inside, but it's never been a problem for me.

The picture in my original post with the snowy flat tarp pyramid pitch resulted in a tremendous amount of condensation, but so long as I didn't touch the wall I was alright. There was some condensation beading up on my quilt that night, but the nylon I used for the shell of the quilt has a DWR so it never made it into the insulation.
