Should You Put A Tarp Under A Tent
Putting a tarp under your tent protects the tent floor from sharp rocks, dirt, and water. It keeps the tent clean and dry inside. A tarp also stops cold ground from making your sleeping bag cold. Pick a tarp a little smaller than your tent to avoid water collecting on it. Carrying a tarp adds some weight but makes camping much better. It helps your tent last longer and keeps you more comfortable. Use the tarp well, and camping feels easier and safer.
