Write your question here...what are the dimensions of the E-Wing tarp? Could it be used as a ground cloth in good weather?

I wouldn't recommend using it as a ground cloth due to it's non-coated and super light weight material. It will wear out super fast. The best use is for moderate rainfall protection and sun protection. Once up, it will cover two sleeping bags and not much more. It's real intent is to be used as an emergency shelter (thus the 'E' in E-Wing). It can be used as an ultralight wing in desert conditions, but any super heavy rainfall will cause it to leak. I've used this wing several times with excellent results. If used in the right conditions, it will give you just enough shelter to not worry. I live in the Rocky Mountain region of the country and often hike in desert conditions.
