I could use some suggestions. I have a Shires Contrail and a POE Ether Compact 6 sleeping pad. Both work great and I'm not looking to replace either. When I seam sealed the Contrail, I added the silicone strips on the floor so stop the slipping/sliding as suggested. This past week when I was out for a section hike, I had to pitch on a very slight slope a few nights and found the pad slipping down to the side. The floor of the tent is slippery as is the grey bottom of the pad. (i think grey is the bottom side, although the other yellow side feels just the same.) I don't want to cover the floor up with allot of gooey crap. You can't always find the perfect site. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mark S.
