A footprint protects a tent floor from abraison dirt water and sun. Shaped like but 10 cm (4“) smaller than the tent floor to prevent rain from collecting between footprint and tent floor. Also covers the vestibule floor space to protect the vestibule from dirt and humidity. Attaches with adjustable elastic cords. Used as a Tarp: a footprint doubles as a tarp against rain wind and sun.
