[pct-l] Seedhouse Condensation

[montypct]

In the presentation I saw last night, the owner pointed out the fly needed to be staked out wide giving a big gap at the bottom for best anti-condensation.  The example showed a lot of ventilation.  
does this apply?

  I only have used my tent fly a few times.  Almost all the time I just use the netting tent, so no issues with condensation.  Even when I would put a fly on the tent, I try to leave the fly door open.  I like to see what is going on outside all the time.

  Like if a mountain lion is sitting there looking at me.  I have had BIG bears walk by my tent and look down at me and growl.  Any bear looks big when you are looking up at it.  :-)  I just turn over and go back to sleep, since I keep a clean campsite.  No problem.

  So, I guess I am not a good person to talk to about Seedhouse condensation, since I have never had a problem the way I use the tent.
