Create your own Variable thickness sleeping pad.
A ground sheet may superfluous where you camp with a full length pad. Since it is often desirable for greater padding under the hips and shoulders I have tried gluing layers of the 1/4" pad together. I found that this can be accomplished with contact cement. It makes a very strong bond and you only need a few dots of it to hold things together. By overlapping pieces, I can now make myself a custom pad to my height and width with padding at just the spots I need. This way I eliminate a ground sheet, and have a warm full length pad with a surface that doesn't promote condensation that weighs sub 5 ounces. As weather turns colder, you can add additional layers of foam. One of my customers uses grommets and toggles in his hammock to keep the pad in place.
