Do you use a ground cloth?

[gargoyle]

I was thinking about getting a ground tarp or cover for my first hammock trip.

Is the tyvek you guys are using different from the Tyvek house wrap???

Same exact stuff.

Everyone my roll is now gone! I am going to mail the rest out next week I am still waiting on a couple PM's to be returned, I tried to respond to all the PM's that I received, if I for some reason missed you I am sorry, and it was not intentional as I got a lot of request's, so with that if I PM'd you back please respond prior to me going to the post office next week so that I only have to make one trip there (would be nice)! All I can say is "WOW" a lot of people needed tyvek!!!!! But I'm glad to have been able to help out!
FYI if you need some you could check with Paul at AHE as I do believe he sell's it!!!
Have a great one!!!!

I use a "basement" Some might call it a gear hammock, that hangs underneath my main hammock and that is where I keep my gear.

I have videos that shows it in use.

I use tyvek
still using the bottom entry on my HH EXP UL (am I the last?)

Nope, you're not the last. I've done nothing except add a (yes one side only) Whoopie Sling to my HH ULBA. Originally did both sides and decided that it was easier for me to make adjustments when the hammock was loaded down with my sleeping bag etc., using the original HH suspension. I use the Whoppie's only on the head end. Call me strange, that's ok...nothing I don't already know.

Back on topic. Yep, I use a chunk of Eureka floor saver (4x2) as a place to lay my odds-n-ends when I'm packing/unpacking and also to have a place for my feet when getting out of the hammock. I also carry it just in case I am unfortunate and need to go to ground. So far that hasn't happened.

Thanks for the comments and I am glad you enjoyed the videos.

What part don't you understand? I can make a video that brings the setup in for a closer look.

FOr those of you with Dogs:
Some dog food bags seem to be made from TYVEK or some other material that is waterproof. I have taken the dog food bag, emptied it, cleaned it and cut it open on one side and it is a great 3 by 3 ground cloth. and FREE!

If I'm backpacking, no ground cloth. If its a base camp, yes, anythings a go.
