A review's focus on seam tape kept my gear dry last weekend
Lately, I see many reviewers checking seam tape on tents. I followed one such tip and sealed my seams. Last weekend, a storm rolled in and everything inside stayed dry. This small step was a game changer for my trip.

Wait, your friend got wet from just a light drizzle? That's wild to me. I always figured the cheap tents leaked in a downpour, but a little mist shouldn't do that. Makes me wonder what brand he bought, because that seems really bad.

Did you see that write-up on how long seam tape really lasts? I read that most tent leaks start at the seams, even on expensive ones. They tested a few sealants and the silicone kind held up better in sun and rain. My friend didn't seal his seams and woke up wet from a light drizzle. Now I always check and seal mine before any trip. It's a simple fix that saves a lot of trouble.
