Hi Dan,
Just a simple question from Norway;
Can you set up a MSR Dry Line Kit in the inner tent or similar ( for drying cloths and light..) ?

HowiHi Howi,
Short answer is no, you can't easily affix a clothes line inside the tent.
Longer answer is that the tent has a pocket all the way along the ridgeline that is useful for drying gear amongst other uses (it's also great for protecting fragile gear like glasses, holding an alarm clock, headlamp etc. Anything not too heavy). So you could easily dry quite a bit of gear in there, plus the pocket holds items like socks flat, so they dry better. This ridgeline pocket is 50" long, so no problems drying a few items as long as they aren't heavy items.
You could also set up a clothes line inside the fly (the fly peaks can easily accommodate this) rather than the inner. That would keep drying clothes out of your headspace, so it would be better for larger/heaver items. But realistically, large items don't usually do much drying in the night.
You can see part of the ridgeline pocket in the image below. It is sewn in the middle to divide it into two halves so that it doesn't sag open too much when you load it up.
