I was thinking more along the lines of having a tent floor that was more durable and didn't need the tarp base added. But perhaps it's a packing thing - keep them separate so they pack down into smaller packages?

If you know or can find a sympathetic builder you could probably get it for free
Oddly enough, was talking to a neighbour who likes a bit of camping and he had been to the building site behind his workplace and liberated a load of what the builders were calling offcuts but was enough for about 3 or 4 groundsheets.

If you know or can find a sympathetic builder you could probably get it for free, the amount required for a tent floor is tiny. It doesn't compress very well when new, but it's weight savings over other options is worth the initial bulk. It's also not waterproof, but water resistant which is a good thing in my books.
