Last trip I did we got rained on a bit, were using friend's hubba hubba and for some reason he packed the footprint (never have used it in the past). Anywho, the footprint strung up - while was not very big - made for a decent out of the rain kitchen space for the nights meal.

Got me thinking....I ALWAYS see tent footprints in clearance and closeouts for rather cheap. Was thinking about picking one up to play with as they usually are of decent construction. Usually have corner reinforced grommets, folded/lined edges, durable materials. Not the lightest of weight tarps either, but it could serve it's purpose.

Anyone fool around with repurposing tent footprints?
