Hello all you Denali veterans. Quick question about tent footprints/ground sheets. I have a Trango 3 and am planning two future trips to Alaska (west butt and Ham and Eggs on the Ruth). Do you guys bother with a tent footprint? Trying to think through weight/space and likelihood of tent damage.
Thanks,
Cory
Cory,
For reasons of space and weight like you mention almost no one carries a separate footprint in the cold alaskan environment. I have found it helpful over the years however that each member brings both a foam ridgerest type pad and and inflatable pad which helps cover the floor of the tent and insulate you well from the ground.
Hope that helps,
Mark
