I sorted my own groundsheet. Not for cost really
But as I had successfully done it before with my pioneer.
I find these Trakker groundsheets as softnas butter on stony ground. They get holes in immediately. They are heavy
Or at least are in a large bivvy. So when I got my original Pioneer I bought a camo tarp from Ebay, cut it to size
Which meant I could have have the machined edge flat across the door. So no folding it back. Plus is much lighter
Folds much smaller. More waterproof and tougher.
For the 100T brolly. For me its a fair weather overnighter
I don't want to complicate it with lots of add ons
So I just bought a HD grey tarp from amazon 7 foot by 5 foot
Goes under the bed.

here y go mate. i got the smallest
but it leaves some gaps. if u get the next size up. that should enable you to cut around exactly how you like. i did that with the Pioneer but didnt feel it necessary for this shelter. so the v at the back has some ground showing and an inch or two either end.

might be a tad bigger. maybe get the 9 quid one and be sure?
I just cut the corners off at the back as they kept sticking out and needed folding in. but on the pioneer, I set it up over the tarp. I folded the skirt out and went inside and drew around the base of the bivvy with a marker. perfect fit.

Hello, Looking at getting the tempest 100T andcan see a lot of people with it now and been using it. Just curious after a lot of use what you guys think the pros cons are of the 100T, would you buy it again? Cheers.

I would. For me,It is a great shelter. Majority of my fishing
Is overnighters so I dont need mountains of space winterskins and porches etc. I have other bivvies . So I can keep it light
Quick and relatively cheap. Having rear mesh panels at that price is also a huge plus. I really dont care about them in the front of any shelter as I to open front whenever anyway. But the through draft they enable is beautiful when its warm or.muggy.
The main thing for me is how quick it is setup
. I actually did more overnighters last year due to knowing
That setting up would be so easy.

I would definitely buy it again again infact if something happened to line tomorrow I'd just buy it again, I do everything from a 24hr to a full week in mine I don't need any other bivvy than this

Definitely.
Plenty big enough for me, in fact I'm going to be using mine in France next year as my main bivvy for the week.

Cheers al that really helped, got myself a 2nd hand 100T with all the accessories (both infills, ground sheet and skull cap) for £300, couldn't say no, seemed like a great deal. Oh and also 2 storm poles
