If you pitch that low, even a double-wall tent will suffer more of condensation. Ventilation is essential, and that's why double-wall tents should have the bottom of the inner fly of solid fabric, to stop draughts


Ventilation is a two-edged sword. Yes, you'll get more condensation than without it, but on the other hand it'll be warmer inside. There's a lot to be said for ventilation that can easily be shut off, and that's more the case as conditions get more "interesting".

It's also the case that on a cool, still night with 100% relative humidity everything will be dripping in the morning however well ventilated your tent is.

Yes but my point was regarding a tarp that is almost sealed at the bottom, there will be a lot of condensation just because of breathing inside
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best,
since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.
Thus you remember them as they actually are...
