Finally figured out why my tent kept leaking after 3 rainy trips

I spent way too long blaming the rainfly for water getting in. Turns out the seam tape on the floor was peeling up in one corner. It took me like 4 hours to find it because I kept looking at the wrong spot. Re-taped it with some Gear Aid stuff I got at REI and it's been dry ever since. Has anyone else had a tiny leak take forever to track down?

Always thought seam tape was bulletproof till I found a tiny bubble letting water in... changed my whole view.

Nah, I've never had a single issue with seam tape in 10 years of backpacking!
