Kelty Gunnison 2 Footprint - 2007 BCS

Be the first to upload your photo of the Gunnison 2 Footprint. >
The Kelty Gunnison 2 Footprint is a coated nylon tarp placed underneath your Kelty Gunnison 2 tent to protect its floor from abrasion and wear. A bit smaller than the tent floor, the Gunnison 2 Footprint is the perfect size to prevent pooling water during rainy weather.
Bottom Line: A tent without a footprint is like a home without a foundation. Protect your investment with a footprint.

Can the footprint be used with the fly only: no tent?

Ima,
Did you ever try to sent the tent up with fly and poles only? I can't figure it out. I know how the footprint attaches to the tent but can't figure out how to hook the poles to the floor.
Any suggestions.

Always Protect Your Tent

You should always use a footprint to protect your tent from puncture or rips. A footprint can greatly extend the life of your tent. This footprint worked perfectly to protect the bathtub-bottom construction of the tent. Not made to protect underneath the fly, this fly does what it is supposed to, protect your tent and prevent water pooling. If you want more, or you are comfortable and knowledgeable enough, you can construct your own footprint with a cheap tarp, creating one of any size, from the tent bottom to fly size. I'd recommend just buying this for your everyday camping usage, as it works perfectly.
Will this footprint work with the Gunnison 2.1?

The only reason this gets a point deduction is the grommets slip off of the pole ends easily. With both the tent grommet and the footprint grommet, the pole end is too short. The tent itself is so affordable I don't think the footprint is worth the extra weight.
I still have the same question as cutler... as I'm still
I still have the same question as cutler... as I'm still not sure how exactly this footprint attaches to the tent. I even called Kelty... and the guy said maybe the clip would clip on to the jake's foot on the tent, but that doesn't seem right.does anyone have a picture showing a good taut connection of their footprint on the gunnison tent?

Put the footprint with the coated side facing up, and put the tent poles into the grommets on the footprint. Then use the clips/loops to anchor the footprint to the tent to keep it from shifting around.

Just got this in the mail, and I'm not sure how to use it
Just got this in the mail, and I'm not sure how to use it since it didn't come with instructions.First, and most importantly, which side goes down? One side is coated, and the other side isn't.Secondly, each corner has a grommet, a clip, and a webbing loop. What are each of these intended for?Thanks

The coated side faces up. the grommets anchor it to the ground and the clips and/or the webbing loops attach it to your tent so it doesn't shift around.

I didn't have any of the problems with the poles that the previous reviewer did. If you stake down the footprint with the tent, it works just fine. It does what a footprint is supposed to do, no bells or whistles. I'd buy it again.

OK, tent footprints exist to only cover the area under the floor of your tent. Why? Because it prevents flooding during a storm! Think about it, if your footprint came out from under your tent, and water started to pool there, you'd get water in between that and the tent, making it more likely for it to seep through the floor. Anyways, to any other reader out there, you don't need anything too specific for your tent - as long as its pegged down properly and under the floor, any good waterproof liner/plastic/tarp will do for a footprint. I myself use a tarp that has an emergency (aluminum) liner on one side. I think it cost me around $10.
However, you can't beat the convenience of a footprint that clips into your tent.
Change me.
