So I'm sure a bunch of people know this, but for the ones that dont, I started buying those brown/silver tarps from harbor freight. If it's cold I throw it over my tent silver side down, brown side up, it helps hold heat in and when it's hot I flip it and it keeps the heat off your tent, pair with a buddy heater in the winter time, nice and cozy!

Nice, so it works like an insulation of some sort? What material is it made of?

It works like a space blanket, the silver will repel heat, and the dark brown will absorb it. It works 10x better than the rain fly on a tent

That’s a great tip! Using those brown/silver tarps from Harbor Freight is a smart way to manage your tent's temperature. The reflective silver side helps keep the heat out in the summer, and the brown side retains warmth in the winter. Pairing it with a buddy heater during colder months sounds like a perfect setup for staying cozy. Thanks for sharing this hack!
