Staying warm in a tent
Insulated layers in a tent work by slowing heat loss through the walls and roof, but they also trap moisture from breathing and cooking. Good ventilation keeps condensation from building up on the fabric and on the insulator itself. Keep vents partly open even in cold conditions unless you are in heavy wind or snow.
Because the insulator attaches to the internal frame, keep the frame tidy and avoid hanging heavy gear from it. When you open the zippers for windows or the sky panel, close them again quickly to limit draft and frost. Dry the insulator before packing it away, since trapped damp can cause mildew.
Ground insulation matters as much as walls. A sleeping pad with good insulation, or an extra tarp under the floor, keeps cold from coming up through the tent floor. Check the insulator for loose clips and worn zippers at the start of each season.
