A footprint will help protect the tent floor from the abrasion of sticks and stones, and it adds an extra layer of waterproofing below your tent. Before setting up your tent clear the area of any sticks and stones. Next lay your footprint out flat, and then erect your tent on top of it. A footprint is a ground cloth made by the tent manufacturer to fit your tent. These are made a little smaller than your tent floor, so water won't collect between your tent and the footprint. A footprint, ground cloth or tarp is a good investment that will help prolong the life of your tent.
