I have been using a shelter system consisting of a MLD Cuben Fiber Patrol Shelter and Serenity Shelter. This has worked very well for several years, however, I am trying to lighten my load a bit. I am thinking about getting a Zpacks CF ground cloth and using it under the Patrol Shelter. It is only about an ounce heavier than a polycryo ground sheet and the 5" bath tub sides should work better in foul weather and may even break a little wind.
Has anyone tried this ground cloth with a non Zpacks shelter (where it doesn't get attached) and how has it worked. Are stakes required, etc.
Thanks in advance.
