Description
Product Overview
The Kelty Discovery Basecamp 6 Person Tent Footprint in Stormy Blue is engineered as a dedicated ground barrier that matches the exact dimensions of the Discovery Basecamp 6‑person shelter. Crafted from 68D polyester fabric with a durable polyurethane coating, the footprint delivers a 1200 mm waterproof rating while remaining lightweight at just 16 ounces. Its fully seam‑sealed construction eliminates any potential water ingress, and the plastic stake loops provide secure anchoring on a variety of terrain types. The footprint’s dimensions are calibrated to sit flush beneath the tent floor, eliminating overhang and ensuring a snug, glove‑like fit that protects the interior fabric from abrasions, soil, and moisture. The product is free‑standing, allowing campers to set it up quickly without the need for additional support structures. All components are designed for easy hand‑wash care, extending the lifespan of both the footprint and the tent it safeguards.
Usage
This footprint is suited for a wide range of outdoor scenarios, from weekend family camping trips to extended backcountry expeditions. Its waterproof performance makes it reliable in rainy conditions, while the robust polyester material resists punctures from rocks, sticks, and campsite debris. Because the footprint is lightweight and compact, it can be packed alongside the main tent without adding significant bulk, making it an excellent addition for hikers who need to minimize gear weight. The Stormy Blue color blends well with natural surroundings, reducing visual impact on the environment. Whether you are setting up on a grassy meadow, a sandy beach, or a rocky alpine site, the footprint provides a stable, dry base that helps maintain interior comfort and cleanliness throughout the stay.
