so weight is not a huge concern for something like a tarp

I was a bit skeptical of how light this tarp was. I am a car camper, so my primary use of the tarp is for a footprint. I'm not a backpacker, so weight is not a huge concern for something like a tarp. It looked well made, sealed seams -and good stiching, but I had doubts.I tested it first in my backyard overnight and it significantly reduced to humid feeling I sometimes got with other ground covers. The next test was actual camping a week later at Rickett's Glen State Park. It rained Friday night (lightly), Saturday morning (moderately), Saturday night (full blown downpour) and lightly on Sunday morning. This tarp held up perfect. No wetness or added humidity. It seemed toKeep any moisture off the floor of our tent.The lightweight nature of the tarp cut down on noise under the tent. I also believe it helped to keep gaps and air holes from under the tent (which could fill with rain). It folds up easy into it's bag. That bag then fits in my tent bag. It also cleans up fairly easily. There was a bit of staining from the red clay @ Rickett's Glen, but most surface dirt came off easily.All in all a great, moderately priced footprint for a tent. I got medium & it was great for my application. Will update if this only lasts beyond a few uses as far a durability.
