Footprints are a Complete Waste of Money, Space, and Weight

[kestral]

window film, polycro footprint for me. very light weight, I keep it on outside pocket for a dry sit pad, when I (rarely) stay in shelter i use it as a ground sheet. was planning to make a tarp with the sheet, but I got lazy. once was covered in mud, I rinsed it in a stream- tough to do that with your tent floor.

How about a piece of polycro underneath your footprint to keep the footprint clean!

If you prowl the internet you’ll find polycryo, heat shrink window insulating film, in thicknesses from 0.6 mil to 1.5 mil. I bought a large piece of the 1.5 mil film from ACE hardware for $10 a couple years ago. It’s enough for several ground sheets for my Xtherm pad or my StratoSpire 1. The 1.5 mil film is sturdy.

But then what keeps that piece of polycryo clean?
Like turtles, it's footprints all the way down.
