Using this groundsheet is a breeze. First, find a flat spot where you want to set up your sleeping area. Unroll the groundsheet and lay it flat on the ground. Use the included aluminum pegs through the reinforced attachment loops to secure it firmly in place. This will prevent it from shifting around during the night. When it comes to cleaning, just wipe it down with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the coating. Store it in the drawstring carry bag in a dry place when not in use. This will keep it in good condition for your next outdoor adventure. And remember, it has a lifetime warranty, so you can enjoy your outdoor trips with peace of mind.
