Hello
I posted this last week about Xmas Tree throw away bags. It will save your  
sleeping bag and gear from condensation in your tarptent.In an afternoon  
downpour  I get out the 8 foot bag and craw in with pack and all.. I'm  6'2  I love 
my tarptent but I do get condensation  

My previous post of last week
Hi
 
. Several months ago the discussion was about protecting you gear from the  
elements.
 
It is now Christmas and Christmas trees. Most places sell a 8 foot bag to  
dispose the tree in. They unusually cost less ten $2.00.
 
I use one for a ground cloth for my tarptent and if raining l use it to  
protect my gear I also can use it as a pack liner

Not necessarily true oilcan.   As it has been written  and folks have
experienced, myself included mid June vic. Muir Pass this  year, due to
weather conditions, sometimes you cannot avoid  condensation.  I hope nobody
misinterpreted my post about the tarptent  as a bad review, as it was simply
an observance of the nervousness as I  approached "the edge" with a down bag
without the most water resistant  shell, and tarptent in conditions in which
condensation simply could not be  avoided, no matter how breezy and well
placed your site was. Folks have  mentioned that the 2 person tent maybe
better as far as room is concerned,  and I'd definately agree with this,
standing 6'-6" and loving to thrash  about and toss and turn as I get used to
sleeping at 10,000 ft.  I may  need a bag with a more resistant shell next
time I'm out there lightweight  mountaineer I mean hiking. heh heh.
