Anyone had an issue with footprints when it rains?
Mine acts like a collection basin under my tent during rain events. Even with the fly all the way down to the ground, water still seems to pool between the tent bottom and the footprint. It doesn't happen with a tarp. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Sure have. It's a huge pain but I guess that's what we have to deal with. I have found that when the footprint is slightly tucked underneath the tent, so it isn't visible, it tends to help quite a bit. I did get stuck in a downpour and still had some accumulation but things seemed to be better. Hope that helps.
