So, here's the familiar scenario:
You wake up in the morning after a cold night (last night was ~35 F based on the forecast) and need to break camp & get going on your way to the next nights location.
Your tent itself is fairly dry, but the rainfly is coated with condensation from your (& your tentmates) breath.
I'm generally just car-camping, so I pack the tent body as I normally would.. some folds then rolled around the poles, but the rainfly is always wet so I have to loosely roll it up, bring it home, and put it out to dry. That said, I see this being an issue when you need to have your tent packed to fit back in your backpack so you can get going on the hike again.
I'm just looking to see how most of you deal with the condensation on a multi-day trip- if you dry it off first with a towel, flip it inside out & allow to dry while waiting around and making breakfast, just roll it up wet or not, etc.
