[pct-l] Lunar Solo tent

[metam01 at earthlink.net (Monty Tam)]

Good questions.

I just sealed mine.  
The mesh is sewn into the sides about 10"-12"  from the edge where it drops
and is sewn into the floor.
This is cool.  The floor and mesh are not staked directly to the ground so
there is no major stress on the mesh.  
The floor and mesh are suspended from that seam and stretched outward at
the bottom by light bungies.  The tension is just enough to hold their
shape and even lift the floor an inch above the ground.  Kind of like a
trampoline (but with very light tension).

Single walled.

Condensation?
I haven't used it yet.  360 degrees of ventilation with the entire face
open from the ground up?  I don't like condensation either.

Now I can learn something.  What is a guttering effect?

Thanks
