A Tent-Footprint Is A Piece Of Material Designed To Set Down First, Before A Tent Is Put In Place.
The Main Intended-Purpose Of A Tent Footprint, Is To Protect The Bottom Of The Tent From Abrasion. Tents With Bottoms, Will Wear Through Quickly Without Bottom Panel Protection. Consider A Tent Footprint As An Inexpensive Insurance Alternative Than Buying a New Tent After Each Outing!
A Secondary Consideration And Purpose Of A Specific Tent Footprint Design, Would Be To Be Super Lightweight; For Packing Into Remote Areas Over A Large Distance Or Altitude. When Abrasion Protection And Lightweight Are Both Critical.
What To Look For
A Mid To Higher-Performance Quality Tent, Will Have A Footprint Available From The Tent Maker. In Order To Be Expectable To A More Wider Range Of Consumer Types, A Tent Footprint Is Offered As An Option Add-On. We Highly Recommended A Footprint Shield For All Tents That Require Bottom Protection! The Standard Features Of Any High Quality Design And Manufactured Product Will Include:
- Model-Specific Pattern Cut-To-Shape
- Cut To Prevent Buildup Of Water Between Footprint And Tent Floor!
- Strong Coated Nylon Construction, Which Will Be Stronger Than Tent's Floor Panel
- A Web Anchor Point At Each Tent Stake Anchor Point
- A Storage Bag
- Certain footprints are designed for Fastpacking (example: use of fly and footprint without tent body). See links to individual pages for specifics
Some Footprints Are Designed To Be Used In Combination With Only A Tent Fly, And Not a Tenet. This Offers An Ultralight Weight Solution For Warm Weather Environments And Light Duty Applications - Like A Sandy Secluded Beach On A South Pacific Island, Or Your Local Park For The Afternoon. Consider A FastPacking Footprint For A Days' Outdoor Event Like Fireworks, Air Shows, Lakefront Outing, Park Day Outing, Prospectors, Geologist, Paleontologist, Field Engineers, Mountaineering, Climbers, Motorcycle Touring, Bike Touring......
