Weather was nice yesterday so I was able to set up my Lightheart Solo and get it seam sealed. Figured I would take some pics to post while I was at it.

First attempt at pitching the tent and didn't have any problems. May not be perfect but not to bad for the first time.

Here are the pics:

Nice pics and good to see one of these tents. I am curious as to what the condensation will be like when the tent is totally enclosed by the rainfly?

That's about as double-walled as single wall can get. I can't imagine it isn't solid in terms of its condensation management.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to actually getting out and using it next weekend. The tents condensation handling won't be much of an issue next weekend as I will be in the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma, very hot and very very dry. However, as Jay said I don't think condensation will be a huge issue regardless.

The good thing about the hot and dry conditions is that I shouldn't have to stake out the fly which means I get to enjoy the wide open views.

That fly sure is a work horse. It even controls the color of the surrounding grass when it is installed or not. It should have no problem handling condensation.

LoL the color of the grass is because the pics were taken at different times. I took the pics with the fly out right after I had seam sealed it. So had to wait for 6 hours before I could roll it up and take the pics without it and the sun had begun to set by then and it was a bit cloudier.

There doesn't look like there is much for the wind to get a grip on. Beautiful!

Enjoy the Whichitas–that is one of my favorite places.

My 15 and 13 yr old daughters could both fit fine but they are both short and thin. I am 6'2" and I could fit in there with someone else if we both lay on our side. So it would work for two people in an emergency but not for normal use.
