florida keys camping via tent
Hi,
Heading to some islands off key west in late December 2019. Can't stand sleeping in a humid tent. Waking up with a mist of dew on the blankets. Any suggestions on a perfect tent and how to keep moisture levels down. I expect the humidity levels to be up that time of year,
Thoughts.

Tent with really good ventilation (mostly screen), staked out properly, makes all the difference . My REI half dome didn’t sweat/bead at all, and that was in August. I wouldn’t think it’d be a huge issue in december though.
Dew on the blankets is a new one to me though. Is this based on a past Florida experience?
Humidity in December looks comparable to here, right now, and I’d say: there’s a difference between “sleeping in humid conditions” and a humid tent. The first is unavoidable, and if you are truly sensitive to that, you might just want a hotel. The second can be helped by proper ventilation and fans. Without knowing anything about you or your camping history, it’s hard to say.
