Reddit reviews Duck 286218 Extra Large Patio Door Shrink Film Window insulation kit, 1, Crystal Clear

Okay, I got this.

G4Free 40L backpack - $18.99


Paria Sanctuary Sil Tarp - $79.99


Polycro ground sheet - $7.98


Sleep pad - $16.79


Down throw - $31.95


Ultralight, summer set up straight from Amazon for about $150.


edit: oops, you said no tarp. You could add the bug net for $65 and be at ~210 for an ultralight, modular set up. Could also subtract the polycro sheet and save a few bucks if you buy the inner net.

To answer the obvious first question: Yes, I'd take it out again.

And the best place to buy them? Amazon under clear window sheeting such as

Which footprint option would you use for the 1p tartptent notch? I believe the actual bathtub is around 34" wide x 8-9 feet.

I have this 84" x 120" window polycro that I bought intending to use for a 2p tent, and could probably cut it in two, but might want something more durable for car camping.

I realize it doesn't -need it-, but I'm trying to avoid getting mud on the bottom of my tent so I can keep the time cleaning it down.

A link for the lazy. $5 for a 7x10 (patio door size) sheet.

the ground sheet you saw in the tarp video is polycro. lightweight and pretty tough. You can buy it as a window insulation kit like this on the cheap and cut to size. It should be in 1-2oz range. Tyvek is the other option at 4-5oz

That's just stupid. Anyone in that school could obtain and install a window insulating kit for about $8 as a (literal) stopgap solution.

+1 for the lanshan. They’re also on amazon (yes, it’s the same tent. Mier is just a rebrand)

For a UL ground sheet get some polycro and cut to size.

I'm a motorcyclist - and that's one of the things that drove me toward the ultracompact side of ultralight. I'd suggest 1.5mil Polycryo footprint which is double the thickness of usual 0.75mil stuff, and a NeoAir ground pad inflated with the trash bag method which I find quick and easy (and use a much smaller/lighter trash bag than the video).

• Daypack
  
• Footprint
  
• Use mug as bowl
  
• Uniqlo Airism Boxers

I used this: http://www.amazon.com/Duck-282450-Indoor-84-Inch-120-Inch/dp/B000NHW2Z6/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1465264256&sr=1-2&keywords=Sliding+glass+door+insulator+kit

It's twice as thick, still crazy light, more area and so far pretty tough. I ToughTaped the edges and ridge line, threw some nylon grommets in for tie outs and have had no troubles, granted for only 6 or so nights out. I pitched mine in the yard for two weeks before use and it got all manner of stormy spring weather thrown at it with no damage. I was (am) planning to make a silpoly version but haven't felt the need yet. That said I'm no thru-hiker, and if weather forecasts look too hairy I just reschedule.

Yes, 72" X 60" seems short for a ground cloth. Also, I think polycro comes in different thicknesses so make sure to get something appropriate. I've been using this stuff, .7 mil and 120" X 84" allows me to cut it into 2 1P groundsheets.

I just bought this one, which is advertised as 1.5 mil, but received the 0.7 mil instead. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000NHW2Z6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Probably not a bit deal. I usually bring a polycro sheet just in case I want to forgo the tent altogether and just cowboy camp. They're only like 2oz and you can buy them at Walmart or on Amazon for like $2.

Polycro sheet $6

I'd go with 1.5mil PolyCro instead of 0.7mil most people use. It is, of course, twice the weight of the thinner PolyCro but still half of the weight of tyvek. At $3 a sheet (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NHW2Z6/), you can make at least two (and possible up to 4 depending on the width you need). Just replace periodically.

The duck kits are $3.17 on amazon like new as an add-on, and $3.52 free pickup at a Walmart near you. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duck-Brand-Shrink-Film-Window-Kit-for-Extra-Large-Windows-or-Patio-Doors/15077940 Can make 3 40x84" from those.

oops. silly me :p didn't mean to imply that uk citizens could get these, just wanted to compare prices/give links for people in USA. for someone who is ok with a 6 foot length, UK has $2 kits: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Insulation-Heating-Draught-Excluder-Shopmonk/dp/B00NVI3DV6/ref=sr_1_2?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1504637204&sr=1-2&keywords=window+insulation+kit

Cool, maybe followup and lemme know how it goes. I bought mine in a pack on Amazon for $10: http://www.amazon.com/Duck-281065-Indoor-Window--120-Inch/dp/B000NHW2Z6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410985768&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=polycryo+ground

Amazon or any hardware store where it gets cold. They sell it as window insulation.
