Big agnes copper spur footprint - Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 & mtnGLO Footprint

Let's be honest, is this footprint rather expensive, yes. Should Big Agnes probably included it with the tent, yes. But then again if you're spending this much on a tent why not go with it, I've used it multiple times and I would say absolutely necessary if you're not just camping in your backyard. I have the hv ul 2 version of the tent and having the footprint come already ready to go was a bonus, plus if you would like you could also pitch the fly first so to not get a wet interior, although I find this technique to be rather cumbersome and not that useful when camping. But if you want to throw it up as a sun shade for a picnic or perhaps on the beach for the kids works great in just the rainfly configuration. Which is only possible with the footprint.
