I recently purchased a Kodiak Canvas tent, and am getting ready to use it.
Even though it has a fairly heavy bottom and probably does not need one, I would like to use a ground tarp - to protect the tent from sharp edges, keep the mud off of it, etc.
Kodiak makes a poly tarp and Springbar makes a canvas one (which is heavier than the poly.)
I have always used poly with my lightweight nylon tent.
Is there an advantage to the heavier canvas tarp, or is a poly one sufficient? (I realize a blue tarp is an option, too, but they don't quite fit the footprint of the tent.)
Thanks.
