That's why I switched to the ENO hammock. The ENO hammock is new and I only spent one night in it, but felt much better in the morning. There is still certain amount of site selection, but no worries if the ground is uneven or rocky.

Yes. I figure its a layer of protection for my tent that will help it to last longer. Folds up to almost nothing and weighs little. When its go time I can pack up the tent with a clean bottom, flip the base layer over and let air a bit then shake off the dirt, fold up and stuff somewhere.

I always bring a footprint now, one that I made out of Tyvek for a tarp setup I used to use years ago, even though I've recently been mostly hammocking. It's nice to have a quick and easy way to instantly have a clean place to sit down, do tasks, etc etc etc, even during quick breaks or lunch breaks.

When I do tent, I still put it under the tent, since I'm carrying it anyway.

Used to be I just left footprints...

I use a small piece of tyvek, 1x1.5 m, with grommets in the corners, as sitting mat, table cloth, partiel footprint, or extention of tent floor under the abside, can even be hung from tent apex as a kind of porch, or sun shade, or even rain protection for bits of laundry hanging from trees.
Or emergency poncho for toilet runs at night, when I don't bother putting on raingear...
