All Natural..
But, folks do tend to get worried and obsessed over this minor issue..
For folks that get worried about this..
Sweating window glass is very normal with single pane glass and in reality harms nothing.. There IS a built in "drain" in the window channels that actually will drain most of the condensation that rolls down the window to the outside..
The only thing that would concern me is the sweat on the window frame that is touching the wood paneling causing water damage over time but once again to reducing that means adding a moisture barrier to the window and frame..
The reality is these windows and window frames were never designed for or intended to be used in extreme weather conditions.. They are like old houses that had single pane windows.. Those windows always would sweat in cold temps and on really frosty mornings the sweat would ice over.. Millions of old homes stood fast, some for a hundred yrs before the window frames rotted out..
I am always amazed at the lengths people got to to camp in cold weather..
