Ground Cloth

$180.00

SKU: 2-04002-1

The ultralight layer between you or your gear and wet ground.

IDEAL FOR

  • Flat Tarp & Ultamid Pyramid Tents
  • Minimalist Overnight Backpackers
  • Keeping Gear (and Humans) Off Wet Ground

THE POSSIBILITES ARE LIMITLESS

We built the ultimate, super lightweight Ground Cloth for minimalist overnight backpackers who like to sleep under the stars, but who still want foolproof protection for their gear from moisture, mud and dirt.

Ideal for goal-oriented adventurers constantly on the move and in need of fast protection from inclement weather, it’s sizeable but weighs less than an iPhone. Pair it with our Flat Tarp or UltaMids (if not using the respective inserts). Made of 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabric (formerly Cuben Fiber), it serves as an excellent waterproof barrier between you and the ground. Stake it out with its reinforced loops so the wind doesn’t blow it away.

Light in the Pack
I use the ultamid 2 with the half insert or not. The ground cloth works great at half the weight of my homemade ground cover. When it’s windy I use titanium shepherd hooks to keep it from leaving with the breeze while I’m not on it. Good stuff.

Great
I was very surprised at how small this ground cloth packs down. I knew it would be high quality because that's what HMG is about. If space in your pack is at a premium, this is worth the $.

These are Great!
So useful, lightweight and well made. Just bought a second, as the first has been so useful - great for a camp, but also sees lots of use as a general purpose picnic/festival/backyard blanket. Highly recommend.

Compact and light!

This ground cloth is a useful size for either tent or tarp camping. I've yet to use it, but the quality appears to be excellent.

Durable and Lightweight

Really great ground cloth. Gave me plenty of coverage for my tent. I was most impressed by how durable it was. I put it on some fairly sharp stuff. No holes. Totally worth the investment!
