I am looking to upgrade to a canvas tent - looking at the Kodiak right now.
I was wondering the affects of a high humidity environment, both using and storing it in high humidity.
I live on the coast in the Southeast US. High Humidity / High Temperature. I store my current nylon tent in the attic (even higher temperature, still high humidity). Should I be worried about mold while storing in such a location? Indoor storage is really not an option. I have stored the cheap nylon tent up there for years without any issues, but cotton may not hold up so well?
I am wondering if a canvas tent is a good idea due to these factors, or if I should stay with a Nylon tent. I definitely don't need 4 season tent. Primary reason for looking at the Kodiak and similar is build quality, and keeping the thing up during a storm or heavy downpour - of which we get occasionally.
Anyone with experience or opinions are appreciated?
