[Philmont]: Eureka Exo question

Similar Zeus question - can you leave the vestibule zipper partially
open to create more ventilation? As the lone female in our crew, I need
to carry my whole tent and at less than 120 pounds, can't really
consider anything heavier than 4 pounds.

Also, Eureka advised me that the seam that joins the walls and floor is
NOT sealed in the factory. You need to seal this yourself if you want to
stay dry.

Summarizing so far,

I've had 3 "works fine" responses, 1 "awfull", and 2 "take a
Timberline" Hey, I've got a Timberline (that's so old it doesn't have
shockcorded poles!) It's a fine tent, but for ONE person 7lbs (almost
8 for the newer 'XT' version with a vestibule) is too much weight.

John - I know the condensation is from me, not the air. The question
is doesn't the drier air absorb more and keep it from condensing on
the walls. The same way your sweat is more efficient in a dry climate
than in a rainforest since it evaporates and doesn't just sit there
on your skin.
