just throwing this out there, since we were setting up in the massive rainstorms last year and kinda improvised this. i haven't seen anyone post about it on here before, and it kept us dry as a bone
anyways--you set up your tent as usual, but before you move anything in, put a second tarp down on the bottom, followed by a bunch of heavy blankets (preferrably ones you don't mind getting wet). then, continue as usual
I could have read your post wrong, but you want to put a tarp under your tent, not in it. This will keep water from pooling under your tent. but make sure the tarp doesn't stick outside the footprint of the tent, or it will collect water.

I think he meant one under the tent and one in the tent. I had planned on putting a tarp under out tent but I don't remember doing it. We stayed dry, except for a few droplets one night. But I purchased a new Kelty tent this year and that thing seems indestructible.

yep, one in and one under. we were setting up right during the thunderstorm thursday which is why we did it. bottom of the tent was soaked but we stayed dry of course, i am a camping noob so maybe this is pretty common and i just think i have some cool idea

We got lucky and it stopped raining long enough for us to haul our gear to TO and set up camp. I guess I would have set up the EZ UP and then set up my tent underneath it. I remember my stomach being in knots while we were in line bc I didn't want to set up in the rain.
