I know that the old BD Lighthouse was built on the same footprint as the Ahwahnee. Does the current Ahwahnee vestibule fit the old BD Lighthouse? I have contacted BD direct, but they gave me a bit of dismissive answer and I don't fancy buying a new tent. Any help gratefully received. question_275812 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:46:00 GMT What is the size of the footprint? Do you recommend one?

Do you recommend one? Also, do I need to buy pegs and robes? Do you recommend something? question_275762 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:45:50 GMT Brennan Crellin of Backcountry.com states that "Future ARX http://www.backcountry.com/stoic-arx-2-tent-3-season?CMP_ID=QRSS_275700#question_275700 Stoic Arx XL 2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season Brennan Crellin of Backcountry.com states that "Future ARX XL tent designs include an extended length". I'm almost 6'7" and know from trying lots of tents that an 84.5" floor, even with steep walls, won't ever be close to adequate. I sleep in a 7'0" sleeping bag and my "length" when lying down is probably close to that -- our spines compress when we're standing, so our "height" while lying is an inch or so more, and the toes point, further increasing that "height" another 3" or so. To meet its advertised claim, Stoic needs to increase the length beyond 92" -- maybe even to 96". There's a weight penalty, but we bigger guys are used to paying it. In any event, I'm hopeful that the new Stoic XL is significantly longer.
