If you take a pine cone and grind it between two rocks until it is a 
fine mesh (a mesh, not a mash or a mush) and mix it with moisture 
squeezed from the outer inch of a rotting red oak log, you can make a 
fine sealant/adhesive to 'glue' a footprint to the tarp. This adhesive 
will usually lose its adherence after about 12 to 14 hours....which will 
be about the same time that you'd be ready to take the structure apart 
anyway. And, remember, some parts ARE edible.   Ahhhh....but, you 
already knew all of this...
