Should I use a ground cloth?
Tuesday June 26, 2007
Yes, for a number of reasons. A ground cloth will help protect the tent floor from the abrasion of sticks and stones, and it adds an extra layer of waterproofing below the tent. If you use a ground cloth, you won't have to clean off the bottom of the tent when you pack up to go.(Photo © 2006 David Sweet licensed to About.com, Inc.)

Good tip Dave. I have another one…bring 2 ground cloths, 1 for under the tent and the second for INSIDE the tent! If (when)the floor leaks, the inside cloth will keep you and yor “stuff” DRY!
