    Ground Tarp?

    What do you use for a ground tarp? That's something I still need to look into.

    I just picked up one of these it will serve dual purpose, one side is reflective.

    I have not used it yet.

    for me, a piece of Tyvek under the hammock keeps the feet off the ground (like a welcome mat) and makes a clean spot for gear storage, organizing, unpacking, re-packing.

    Ground Tarp?

    I had that Walmart tarp. Don't use the grommets, they broke the first time I used them.

    I use a piece of tyveck for my "welcome mat" I also added some Velcro to it so it can be a rain skirt if needed.
