Whats under your tent?

Gday
I have been putting "car carpet" under the floor of my soft floor camper for about 10 years. Never had any damage from sticks and stones , but i have slept on the floor quite a few times because my beloved wont sleep with me when i am ,lets say, inebriated , and have slept very well. Still mulled wine is great for a good nights sleep no matter where you are .

I use plain old shade cloth bought off the roll in bunnings. It's no edged so it curls a bit but it's pegged down anyway. I also use this as the floor in the annex when camping in the Tuck-Truck.

In forty odd years, never used anything. Never had any problems with tent floors, or sleeping on them, although now, i've moved to campers.

Hi Trev

We used to use shade cloth, but in real sandy condition and when you walked on, sand would come straight through it. Swapped over a number of years ago to Cgear and never been happier. Even in really sandy conditions, sand does not creep up through the Cgear matting.

We use it under the tent, or when swagging it, put the swag on top of it to keep everything clean and prickle free.

We use those square foam mats under our soft floor camper. Had tried shade cloth but when camping on stony or prickly ground it doesnt protect the plastic floor from punctures which lead to wet feet when its raining.
My next task is to join the mats together by sticking them to some shade cloth to make it easier to setup.

Hi everyone,
something light hearted. When I was in my 20's (just a few blue moons ago) I was back packing through Europe and decided to pitch my little 2 man tent late one night at a camping ground in the French country side. WELL.... to my surprise when I got it up and jumped in for a well earned nights sleep, there was a lump under the floor of the tent. I was soo tired I didn't notice and layed straight down on top of it only to feel it move very quickly. It scared the hell out of me and I jumped up and flew outside only to see a terrified hedge hog scurry off into the bushland.
