I was reading a really good pdf document last night written by Will Rietveld on condensation in single wall shelters.

Tried to find a link but my googlefu is weak, am on work laptop and was reading it on my home ipad.

Can't remember where I got the link

Beautiful writing of a walking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail last summer. Almost finished her write ups but you can go back as far as you like:
