I am looking to so something a little outside the box. I want to make a groundsheet out of 1/8" EVA foam. My thinking is that it would replace my groundcloth and also serve as protection for my UL sleeping pad. From the looks of it if I did my math right, it should weigh in the range of 5oz. Does anyone know of a source I could get a 40"x80" sheet to give this a try?
Thanks Ben
I think Oware sells that size too.
Suluk46. com
It looks like SULUK46 does not sell the 1/8" foam anymore. Looking at the Foamorder website, they don't give weights or density. My 1/8" foam from Suluk is lighter than what you have calculated – 40x80x1/8" would be under 4 oz. – if you could get it. But the Foamorder stuff may be a different density and thus a different weight.
By the way – my experience is that a foam groundhseet is great on the snow, not so great for dirt/rocks/pine needles. Especially pine needles – they get stuck in it and you have to spend time pulling them all out. Dirt and little pine comes also tend to stick to it. So I only use mine for snow camping.
