Ultralight Gear Polycryo Tent Groundsheet

It is what it is. Does the job for the price and weight. I would tape the edges to give strength at the cost of a bit of weight but I like the idea of lighter options than the nornal tyvek and silnyon groundsheets.

Awesome, used it TWO ways, I’m a convert

I like it very much. Multi-usefulness! It actually is stronger than I expected, no punctures or tears, feels quite durable. So cheap too! I used it three times in two ways: 1) Under my Durston x-mid 1 tent in rainforest - leech infested sloping raining conditions at Scenic Rim, QLD. It just fits completely under the fly, extending nearly to the edge perfectly without folding or cutting. This means the rain didn’t land on it and flow under my tent bathtub, and also that there was plenty of useable clean plastic floor outside in both vestibules. Extremely HAPPY with the fit here!! ZERO water on tent bathtub bottom packing up in the morning. 2) dry rocky thinly grassed ground under tent at a 2nd location. I did my best to sweep the site pulling out the worst of the rocks but I could only do so much. No punctures in the polycro, and happy feelings of protecting my valuable tent. Again I had a nice experience of clean useable floor space in both vestibules 3) I used it for several hours as a rain poncho. I REALLY liked this experience and am considering never taking a rain shell again but using this ground cover. Hear me out… a) I’m saving weight by not bringing a rain shell. b) I wrapped it around my shoulders like a pool towel and it covered me and my pack, didn’t drag on the ground, was easy to hold together on the inside at my chest with one hand. Easy to flap it right open for ventilation. I felt I could have easily wrapped some paracord/guyrope around like a belt if it got windy or needed two hands free. I pulled it up over my head too and it was all still working nicely. c) the rain was stop-start for hours so when it stopped raining I’d just keep walking as I’d scrunch/fold it into a small rectangle and tuck it inside my pack chest straps. So I had no need to stop to take off my pack to remove a rain shell. When it started raining again I’d just pull it out and cover all of me again. SUPER FAST and quick and easy to pull on and off as needed, covering the whole pack, no stopping, not getting hot or wet. I LOVED this mode of walking and seriously think I’ll adopt it permanently. This was the revelation/surprise learning of the trip for me this time

Looks ok, i wont know until i use it in a couple of months time.
