Rain is one thing, a rainstorm is another.

I've been caught in the rain and I was fine. I read online that you can get a rain fly that folds around the edges and closes up the ends and keeps out spray and such.

I imagine in a rainstorm you'd be pretty miserable in a tent too, depending on where you were in relation to running ground water 🤷‍♂️
