Hi
Got a conundrum. I have a tarp and tarvek or a SMD LE that isn't sealed.
I'm heading up to the Lakes to ride thedistance.cc brevet style ride and I think it will be WET!
There's next to no chance I can seal the seams on the lunar in time...
What would a fellow boner suggest?
Many thanks!

Re: Shelter Help.
Lots of reports on the SMD shelters (in user reviews) state that people have managed a dryish night without sealing. So much so that I was convinced (that had i bought one) I'd not bw in too muhc a hurry to get it sealed

Re: Shelter Help.
Never sealed either of my SMD shelters and I've not drowned yet. Worst you'll get is a few drips.
May the bridges you burn light your way

I have t=yet to seam seal any tent i have ever owned - never noticed anything much - tbh if it rains so much it gets through the seams the material will be "wetting out" anyway.

Re: Shelter Help.
You're more likely to drown from the condensation inside your Lunar Solo than a few drips through the seams. They are very tightly sewn.
I'm just going outside ...

I've only had condensation once in my Lunar Solo - and that was a beach camp in the haar. Maybe it's just always windy where I campTheBrownDog wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 7:57 pm You're more likely to drown from the condensation inside your Lunar Solo than a few drips through the seams.
