if the tent is wet, you can:
1) pack the outer and the inner separately
2) pack the tent on the outside of your bags so it dries in the wind
3) roll it carefully so the wet part remains on the outside, water can't get in as tent fabric is waterproofagreed on the awesome location!
platypus-
If I'd packed it on the outside it would have got rained on! Haha
I do get what you're saying but my point is a situation like that is where a synthetic bag has an edge. You just chuck it in the bag and it doesn't matter if it gets a little bit damp. Especially when it's warm enough that you can get away with a +5 degree bag or something and the weight isn't too significant for the down or synthetic bag.

The tent was fine, the problem was that I had to put it away wet every morning because it rained overnight every day. So the fly sheet soaked through and the wet groundsheet made the inner wet as well.
Yeah, I could have done that... but it only would have stayed dry until the next morning!
Despite my complaining and the rain it was amazing, everyone should go (the beach is Huishnish, other photo is the Quiraing on Skye but it was the same trip)
