aimless Moderator Registered: 02/05/03 Posts: 3293 Loc: Portland, OR	In my experience, if I take good care of my tent floor it will last fine without a footprint. The most vulnerable part of each tent I've owned has been the zipper on the door. When the zipper goes bad, the tent is more or less unsalvageable.
