The only potential negative....When it is wet, or has snow on it....it is slick as “snot on a door knob”! We do some fall/winter camping...To remove the snow is an extreme challenge. If videoed, you may make an episode on “Wipe Out or “ Jackass”! You will be on your hands and knees, holding on to whatever is available. Golf shoes would help....but, not recommended! :B
