When inside my tent, I have the combination of the tent floor and sleeping pad to protect my sleeping bag from any damage.
What do people do when sleeping in the shelters on the hard floors. Would a full length sleeping pad like a z-lite or a ridgerest be enough protection, or would a groundsheet also be necessary? I guess it would depend on how much the sleeping bag hung over the edges of the sleeping pad, or how much I rolled around when I slept. I'm planning on taking an Ultralite WM.
I was planning on taking a 3/4 z-lite, but maybe for the 4 extra ounces the full length one would be better giving my sleeping bag full protection from the hard floors of shelters. That way maybe I would not have to bother with a groundsheet. Would a z-lite alone be enough protection?
What do other people do to protect their sleeping bags in shelters?
Do people get away without having to take a groundsheet?
