I've been using a bamboo mat under my hammock so I can put my gear on it and have something beside dirt to step onto. I was going to replace it with a tyvek sheet, probably from Arrowhead. I've seen several threads talk about going to ground, and don't want to repeat that debate, but how big of a sheet should I get? He's currently selling 3' wide, which seems fine, but how long?
There is always a chance you will have to go to ground if the hammock rips (it's happened to me with a Grand Trunk Ultralight), or if I'm camping with the scouts and they are stopping in the chaparral for the night. I will probably bring the tent and blow up pad if there's a good chance for that, but being the optimist I am, I may go just hammock as long as there's trees along the route.
It's so light, but I don't want to over do it.
Thanks,
Slbear
