Well anyway from a constructive point of view- smile If you winter camp and you get condensation problems, open a thin piece of painters plastic inside your tent before moving in. This tent liner will keep you dryer.

Yes Its true, we've done side by side and night after experiments with this. No matter how good the floor, either moisture comes through it or it virtually comes through by causing condensation under your sleeping bag.

I'm not worried about moisture I worry about puncturing the floor when kneeling and moving around in the tent.
Also I worry about popping a $220.00 air mattress.

After doing a bit of research I found that regular home wrap tyvec will weigh around the same and the kite tyvec would be about half of that weight but the Kite Tyvec comes with its own problems, So I guess its safe to say I need to shed weight somewhere else.
