An excellent question. I think I'm going to re-wrap that like an upside-down burrito so the groundcloth covers the top of the blanket...maybe the bottom too. I've never had issues with rain surprising me while trekking in the past, but now that I'm in the midwest, where anything is possible, I should do something about it. Thanks!

You know Greg I was just thinking that if you made the bag to roll the ground cloth up in about a third longer than the cloth itself when in a roll, you could keep it upright and not have to fight gravity and twist the neck (or not) fold it over and tie it. It would shed rain quite nicely with treated canvas or oilcloth and you might be able to use the bag for other things when not needed (extra arrow bag perhaps?)
