[QUOTE="Bokerfork, post: 1272353, member: 14213"] Time to chime in. Two thoughts: from experience of course. 1. When sleeping on the ground. Thermarest or Ensulate, etc. dig a small HIPHOLE. IOW figure out where your hip is going to be before you erect that tent. Dig a small indentation in the ground for your hip to reside and test it once or twice. Now, lay out your tent to accomadate said hip hole. You side sleepers will thank me for this. BTW. for most of us, the hiphole only needs to be a few inches deep. Don't go crazy and dig a foxhole. 2. For your campstove windscreen. I use an old pair of denims and a few tent stakes. Cut the denims to be about 4-6 inches high and about 12-18 inches long. Now sew the ends over each other to allow insertion of a tent stake. Using 4 tent stakes, 1 at each end and two placed wisely in the center, you have a perfect windscreen for your stove. After cooking and while eating, the windscreen doubles as a napkin and after the meal, you can use the tentstakes to anchor your rainfly. Don't you just love two fers? [/QUOTE]
