Best Answer

to the best of my knowledge the only thing on an previously "untreated" tent would be the tarpaulin floor material. The fabric that makes up the b"body" of the tent isn't truly waterproof when "untreated"( a waterproofing solution). The fabric will shed water but will wick through on contact from the opposite side.

So if a tent isn't treated with a waterproofing product the only part inherently waterproof would be the floor.

Does a tent footprint go inside or outside of the tent?

A camping footprint is designed to go outside, and underneath the tent. Additionally if the footprint was purchased with the tent, it will often be the exact shape of the tent and will have holes in the corners which the tent poles are often designed to go through, securing the footprint in place. When the footprint is under the tent it should help to prevent the bottom of the tent from getting wet. Also the shiny side goes up (the waterproof coating). This is to protect the waterproof quality of the footprint. -Mr. Tent

3000 mm waterproof what does this mean?

that you are unlikely to get wet in the tent. basically, at 3000mm the tent is rainproof but not water proof. so if it rains heavily, you will be fine, as long as you don't put extensive pressure on the tent walls. but if you submerge your tent in water, it will not be able to keep the water out. the higher the mm, the more water proof the tent will be. 3000mm is very good.


How do you set a tent?

Clear the ground, lay out your waterproof ground cloth, place tent on top, spread out so that spikes will not pierce the moisture barrier. Drive tent spikes in such a manner as to tauten the floor (base) of the tent. Unzip (if necessary) the door and climb inside, raising first one wall to set up interior tent posts (legs), then the other. Tie outside of roof to trees if windy conditions are expected. Practice AT LEAST FIVE TIMES at home before you try this at night in the woods. Enjoy!
