Trying to compile a gear list with weights, cannot find a weight for a tent footprint...just looking for an average figure to plug in for a 2 person, 31 sq.ft tent.

Depends on what it's made out of. I'd say a piece of Tyvek that size would probably weigh in at around 4 ounces. The nylon ones sold by the tent manufacturer would be heavier.

Don't be - if you don't count ounces now, you'll be sorry later. By counting ounces, I dropped my pack weight from 35 lbs to 22 lbs

Perhaps I should explain....

"I almost" got offended...until I read the last line. Then it became funny. It's a terrible thing when your computer doesn't show the whole picture all at once.
