Hi can anyone please offer me some advise, I have just returned from a 3 night camping trip in my new icarus 500 and bought the footprint to go with it. The weather was hoorendous for the first couple of nights, thunder, lightening and winds galore, thank fully the last night was glorious :).
The problem I had was that when I took the tent down I was alarmed at the amount of rain water pooled under the tent ontop of the footprint. Is it because the wind was so bad and blew the skirt up? Did I do something wrong when pitching? And why didnt the puddles drain away, I would have assumed that the footprint would be breathable for this very reaason? I was sure to pitch the tent directly ontop of the footprint so none of it was exposed but am concerned about using it in future now as trapped water can not be good right?
Thanks for any advise, will post this on another thread too to maximise amout of advice I might get.
Thanks all
