Jun 28, 2006 at 4:06 pm #1358672Quick Question!!!
Do you use the Painter’s Dropcloth as a ground cloth or do you roll up in it like a burrito?
I hike with a friend in Texas and a dropcloth is all he takes as shelter. Just rolls up in it and tucks the bottom under his feet and he is protected even in heavy rain.

[Dale from Seattle jumps up and raises his hand]”Please, Ma’am, what does ‘no rain’ mean?”
Sep 19, 2006 at 6:51 pm #1363302I just use it as a groundcloth but I have used it for shelter. One time I tied it to branches and just slept in the dirt to keep the rain off. I have also used it burrito style–when I do that I sleep on one side of it and have rocks ready to hold it down when I fold it over my bag.
