[philmont] Innies vs Outies

  Inside
  Both have advantages over the other but the purpose of it is to keep one's bedding dry and for that duty, the choice location of it is INSIDE the tent. This is contrary to convential wisdon, but it works and works well.
   
   
  While I agree with almost everything John said, I think the purpose of the groundcloth (gound cloth, not tent floor) for Philmont is to protect the tent (floor). These tents see extensive use, several weeks per year for about 4 or 5 years before they are retired, you are supposed to take off your boots before you enter, therefore the greatest danger to the tent floor is from sticks/rocks, etc. under it. Therefore, a ground cloth.
   
  My 2 cents.
