Kelty Palisade 4 Footprint : Add Some Life to Your Tent
 |
I'm a novice camper, but I'm no dummy. I want my fancy tent to last for a long time, and I also want extra protection against wet ground. That's why I use a Kelty Palisade 4 Footprint with my Kelty Palisade 4 Tent!
When I've camped before I used a tarp under my tent, only to wake up in the morning with a pool of water in between the tarp and the bottom of my tent. With Kelty's Footprint, I get a custom-made barrier that's simple to use, doesn't move around even if it's windy, and helps me keep my Palisade 4 Tent in good shape.
On a recent camping trip I was so glad I had the Footprint because it was raining when we arrived. Nothing like setting up a tent in the rain to get you excited about the night ahead! Once we got the tent up, we left for a hike and didn't return for about six hours. Thankfully, the Footprint did its job!
Using the Footprint also made cleaning up easier. I just wiped it down when I got home, let it dry on the line, and packed it up for the next trip.
Kelty makes footprints for a variety of tent sizes.
Bottom Line: If you're going to invest in a nice tent, protect it with a footprint.--E.D. (Oct '10)
