Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the standard footprint dimension smaller than the actual size of the Big Agnes Blacktail 3 tent?
A: A smaller footprint prevents water from collecting between the footprint and the tent floor.
Q: Do your Tyvek footprints include the straps or buckles some manufacturers provide to attach tent poles?
A: No, our footprints are designed to be staked or tied out, but the footprint can be modified by the buyer to meet their specific needs.
Q: Does the footprint also cover the vestibule area of the Big Agnes Blacktail 3 tent?
