- Condensation is an age old problem for campers. You can get your own copy of 12 tips to manage camping condensation here: adept-producer-6167.ck.page/controlcondensation.
The trick with condensation is understanding that you can't stop condensation. You can manage condensation by implementing some of the tips presented in this video. We will rarely find ourselves camping in a "condensation perfect" campsite.
For example, it's cold and we need to run our heater in the tent. We know this will cause an increase in condensation but we need to stay warm. One way to manage condensation might be to increase the ventilation and use a battery powered fan. Camping Lantern with Ceiling Fan: amzn.to/3cs9fDs

Brilliant analysis.
I bought a new (cheap) single skin 2-man tent, drenched it in Fabsil, went on a summer camp, and it was 100% waterproof even in heavy rain. Just did the second camp with it and I had huge issues with water beading on the inside, small pools forming in the corners, and I honestly thought that the waterproofing had failed under the torrential downpour..... until we went out hiking the next day, where it hammered down rain all day long, yet when we got back to camp .... my tent was bone dry inside.... until I got in and started doing stuff.
I guess the difference between the first successful camp, and the problematic second camp, tie into your points:
The first camp was during the summer, the air temp was hot, most of the time our tents were open, and even when it rained, it was so warm that the water "vanished" off the ground immediately.
However.... the second camp....was very different....
Autumn temperatures, around 15-18c ... with 80-85% humidity according to the Met date
No direct sunlight
The pitch was about 50 feet from a giant lake, in the bottom of a valley, about 10 feet above the water line
The ground was saturated, with puddles and pools forming around our tents.
Our gear was wet.
I am a big guy, and when I exert myself, sweating might happen (a lot)
Thank you for this.
Now I don't need to second-guess my tent....It IS waterproof, and it was condensation. I was really worried that my tent was leaking, but perplexed that when I wiped down the inside with a Shemagh it didnt make it worse (I assumed that I would affect the water tension and wiping would increase the "leaks") It was just condensation.... although I couldnt believe at the time that all that water could just be from that.
My one unsolicited bit of advice to campers is this....
After watching ex-British Army guys who bushcraft, I now always camp with a waterproof sleeping bag outer.... like a Gore-Tex bivvy or something like that. At least that way me and my sleeping bag stay 95% dry whatever happens with the tent.
Brilliant video, it explained a lot. I need to rig my tent so I can have more airflow, and possibly get a rechargeable usb fan for the cap vent.
Great work Sir! Thank you
I've heard that if you drap a fabric over ur head, like a Tshirt, in a tent the fabric will capture and soak up and hold the water from ur breath so you have less condensation in the tent. Haven't tried it but it sounds interesting and possible to help limit condensation.
Yeah this is hands down the best video on this topic. Cheers
Thank you for your help. I've been camping and this helped me. I like the humor. 😂
Yes, excellent tips. Thank you for sharing! ⛺🔥
Hi Matt, Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment today. We really appreciate it!
Thank your for sharing this information super clear and straight forward!!!
Good tips......and great home!!
This was BY FAR the most informative and useful video I've seen on the topic! Thank you sir and very well made!
My question, would a defogging spray similar to what's used on eyeglasses work if sprayed on interior walls of tent?
Thank you for sharing these great tips & tricks.
Thanks Sherry!
Very good videos mate👌
Very helpful tips✌️.Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You also forgot to mention calcium chloride as a dehumidifier I just thought I'd mention it works pretty decent that's what I got in my trailer it really helps when you don't have electricity
good tips, thank you!
Thank you! As simple as could be, I appreciate your sharing how to help with this condensation! I was looking for the magic wand❣️🙄🧐🤭🤪
Great tips! Thanks!
Hi Eric! Thanks for watching!
Extremely Valuable Information, Thankyou very much. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
great video :> You sound like my professor lol. Really good knowledge tho lol. I am taking Condensation Management Strategy 1010 this semester
Hi there. Just finding your channel. I've heard often to never never never cook inside or bring food inside your tent.
Toward the end, you say that sometimes we're going to cook inside our tent.
Is this a change from what I've heard from several other camping channels? Just want to be as safe as possible.
Hope you get this..... Even though it is 4 years later.
Camped in heavy fog lastnight with little air movement. Kept windows open until I bedded for the night, but it didn't help. It was raining inside my tent!
Lol
Surprised vapour barriers and bivvy bags weren't mentioned. Or perspiration and respiration. Going winter camping for 40 days. And each day is a 40km trek. No way to hang dry clothes because ita almost always below freezing. Ventilation seems to help, but the the tent gets much colder. My biggest source of moister is my breathing, then my body.
If I placed an inflatable hot tub inside my tent duck the summer will it increase condensation? The area has high humidity during the summer.
probably not. i think right now i can just put a chair in my tent an its a sauna already. just add a few buckets of water to the tent floor an you got a hot tub 🤣
Condensation is common on outside temp below 15°C, so if your country could not even give below 20°C forget it. lol!
..a small rechargeable fan stuffed up in the vent of my tent-cot to blow out the damp air...
Perfect! Thanks for the suggestion. Where are you from?

It takes 5 minutes to get to the point... Otherwise, good video
even then the point is not clear. another bad video
Don't cook or use a heater in your tent. Gas leaks kill!!! I know someone that died. Bring an extra tarp and build a kitchen. For warmth get a better sleeping bag.
Another video that is way too long, talking about what the video is about instead of just telling us what we are here for!
Bruh get to the point
This dude talked for 4:54 minutes before the first tip!
You don't look good with that hair dye😂
