[pct-l] tent footprints

[Edward Anderson]

Ned, I use the footprint for extra protection of my self-inflating air mattress.

Maybe I'm missing something, here, but what is the purpose of an extra piece of 
fabric placed underneath a tent's waterproof tub floor? Certainly in the winter 
or on snow it is not necessary as protection from sharp objects like pine cones 
and needles or rocks. In the summer, it makes sense, but I thought tents were 
constructed with durable floors and you wouldn't need such an added item and 
weight...
