Yep, we just make sure its corners are rolled in so it doesn't transport rain under the tent.
Do you mean the ends are flipped up towards the sides ?Yep, we just make sure its corners are rolled in so it doesn't transport rain under the tent.
I cut a new plastic tarp every year to fit inside the tent and have it roll up
the edges 6" or so .
This will keep any ground water out .
You can still put one underneath but without the inside tarp its only a matter of time.
I have never got wet even in some wicked storms.
+1 on what Lea Frances says.
Alaskan Guide model tent never failed me in 15 yrs use.
Oh yeah keep any food/snacks out of the tent unless you like visitors.
If your over 40 buy an inflatable mattress :thumbsup:1. Dont' buy inflatable mattresses. They inevitably tear/lose air overnight/are a PITA. Spend your money on some good 'thermarest' style camping pads. You'll sleep better. Or buy solid foam pads or egg crate.
