I am wondering if there is a cheaper way to do a fastpack with the 2004 Clip flashlight without buying the Sierra Designs footprint. Is it possible to rig something up with Tyvek or some other sort of ground cloth? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sure you can use a visquene ground cloth, but you can't do the fly+ground cloth bit as their footprints have special attachments on them for the piles, stakes and so on.

I just mentioned this in another thread. It's easy!

We put down our ground cloth, stuck the poles in the ground, and put the rainfly over it. We never found a camp site that this didn't work. We were amazed at how easy it was. (Aswah suggested it to us).

We kept our tent body with us a few days before we were sure it would work. Then it got sent home. When the bugs came out we got a mosquitto net from campmor.
