how is this tent for condensation, I seem to put out a bit. Also will be using this elk hunting, how is the floor for rain & do I have to tie off the top to keep it standing?

I've used my tent in all four seasons with very few condesation problems. That fact that the tent is 75% mesh allows it to breath very well. If you set your tent up on dry ground before it rains then you will stay dry. If the ground is already wet, water will slowly leech through the floor wherever you apply pressure (as in the weight of you on your sleeping pad). In this senerio a footprint would be helpful. It is not nessecary to tie off the top if your tent is staked out properly.

the tent does get a bit of condensation- it is important to make sure it is completely dry before storing- it will get mold fast. i would highly recommend a footprint to accompany the tent.
