I suppose it would be the same challenge that tarp users face.  We're
looking at a custom two person version for our hike this year, and since
we're bring NeoAirs we'll add a sheet of tyvek between us and the ground.
I've been wondering if we should trade it for something more suitable in
Washington.  One thing that crossed my mind is that the tyvek inside might
do a good job of keeping us dry, clean from the ground, but if the mesh
bottom is on wet/dirty/muddy ground, when wrapped/folded up in the morning
it's going to transfer some of that mess to the inside walls.  I'm sure Joe
at z-packs will have some tips.

Cheers,
P178



For those of you that like even less weight, you can get it without the
screen.  I think that version is 3 oz.
I'm thinking about ordering one of these soon, but only if it seems suitable
for the entire PCT.
