Thats a great tip for tent campers Happybooker1! I use one of those heavy duty rubber/carpet front door mats like you would see in front of an office entrance and it stays put even on windy nights. Also you can fold it over on itself when you turn in at night to keep the dew off it! Nothing worse than crawling out of your tent onto a wet mat! I somehow left my $35. mat at Kerrville Schiener park site #49 a few weeks ago!!!! Thanks for reminding me! :laugh:
