Advice for drying outside?

Idea for drying outdoors???

Have any of you successfully dried outdoors before?

I'm growing several plants this year, outdoors, guerrilla style. If all goes well, I plan to have at least 1-2 lbs of bud at the end of the season.
I can't dry at my house for several reasons, so I would like to come up with a way to safely dry outdoors.

The avg high temp here during harvest time is around 75-80 degrees, dropping to around 60-65 at night. And the humidity averages 66.

I'm thinking about drying in a small tent like structure in the shaded woods, which should keep the temp from climbing too crazy high. I'll buy a couple battery operated small fans to put in the bottom of the tent to keep air circulating.

Here is the type of tent I was thinking about. I chose this one because it's camo, but there are other options. I think this one has more of a plastic covering, but perhaps a fabric covering would allow it to breathe more?

The fans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B16VT6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CMyxxbNMRBW5J

What do you guys think? Could it work for drying? Then when adequately dried, maybe I could place in paper bags for a couple days in the tent before finally putting in glass jars to cure?

I did this before just too try. I live in pa so after the season we usually a good bit of rain n more wind. Just threw if a big ass tarp not too high so rain can't blow under it n tied it too 4 trees with a line a little higher for some pitch for water run off. Then another 3 lines run under it too hang branches. Now, I'm gunna say this much, it didn't turn out the same quality as properly dried bud. BUT! It worked n dried without any rot. The higher humidity n higher heat n too much wind destroyed the taste n smell over all n prob the thc levels. IMHO man I'd just find someone trust worthy too hang at their crib or something cause you don't wana put in all that hard work n time n not too mention money into it n getting crap in return.

This your first grow? Jw

I grew a couple plants last year. I harvested during a dry week, and just hung my plants in some trees. I didn't have to worry about mold, but they dried too fast and I didn't get a great smell/taste out of them. I still smoked my stuff, but I know it wasn't as good as it could have been.

I'm trying to come up with a new plan for drying this year. I keep my growing very secret. No friends know about it, and I'd like to keep it that way. So asking a friend to dry isn't really an option.

I do have a grow tent with a carbon filter. I*could* attempt to dry in my bedroom, but I'm still afraid of the smell. I've got roommates and frequent visitors.

Hmm...I just don't know the perfect solution

Dude if u got woods near ur house u can use ur grow tent outside, (99% of them are water proof) set your tent up with some fans in it n do the tarp thing over top like I did just too be safe n throw a wooden pallet or how ever many u need too fit your tent ontop of it. Then ur up off the ground. Have a roof over it n walls too block wind. Then in and out fans too move air in a small fan blowing AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THe TENT. nOT DIRECTLY ON BUDS! Then u should be perfectly fine doing it that way. As long as u can run an extension cord too power the fans.
