A liner is pretty easy for us to do. We have them pretty well figured out. I know a lot of people have other issues with non completely enclosed shelters, so your feedback is very important as we try to find the best , lightweight solutions.
Here is my personal opinion:
- condensation is the biggest issue, it can be minimized in a lot of areas and in different ways but there are times it happens. Frost is a problem as well. A liner solves this
- Flying insects, mostly solved via screen doors and sod skirts
- Crawling insects, snakes, rodents - mostly solved with a sod skirt and some dirt over it, but at other times only a complete enclosure solves this and even then in some areas rodents will just eat through your tent, regardless of single wall, double wall or whatever
- Dirt and water mostly solved through groundsheets and floored tents get dirty as well, and I have had water come through floors as well. It's mostly about location
- Bugs inherent in the ground such as chiggars, pretty much need a full enclosure
What I would like to do is see how most folks are using the tent and get some feedback from them (it's very important for customers to communicate with us) and then find what seems to be the best solution for the majority of people.
