[at-l] Re: nomads

I like my nomad, but it has two problems.

The first one is suffered by all single wall tents, and that is
condensation. I did not have severe condensation on all but one night,
when it literally rained on me.

The second is not a flaw, but something that you get when you buy an
"ultra-light" tent. The tent is not bombproof. You need to treat it like
a piece of lightweight gear. Don't treat it roughly, or you _will_ punch
a hole in it, or tear a seam, or do something else equally bad.

Nothing bad happened to my tent at all - and I used it for at least 75
nights - but some did punch holes in theirs...
