I carry a strip of tyvek for a ground cloth and like being able to cook in my tent when it's raining without worrying about the floor. The have an even lighter tent which I would have bought had I known about it. The Mid Lite has a strap that you can use to connect to hiking poles for the center tent pole and save the weight and bulk of a tent pole if you wish.
