My brother told me to just use a regular tarp for my tent footprint...
He said buying a specific footprint for my 2-person tent was a waste of money. So I grabbed a cheap blue tarp from the hardware store and cut it to size for a trip to the Olympic Peninsula. The first night of rain, the tarp pooled water underneath and the tent floor got soaked through. I spent the next day in a motel drying everything out. Has anyone else had this happen, or is there a better budget option that actually works?

Ever tried that with a cheap plastic drop cloth?

My last cheap plastic drop cloth ripped after about two hours of painting. I felt that, willow114. The edges just kept sticking to my shoes and tearing. I switched to the heavy duty cloths and it's a totally different ball game.
