To the Wild Oasis owners – although subjective in terms of what is considered 'usable,' can any of you tell me the length of the shelter where you sleep assuming 'normal' pitch? I have seen 8'9" with a portion afforded to the sloped walls. So would 7.5' be a reasonable assumption? Any pics with a sleeping pad?

Thanks,

When I storm pitch mine I have enough room but not much extra. I am rather vertically challenged (5 feet). I use sleeping bags that vary from 66 inches to 72 inches. They have not contacted the ends. I do try to avoid storm pitch, as the condensation can be pretty bad, if no air is moving. But for just rain, I usually pitch it about 4 inches off the ground (I think a higher pitch probably increases the head room, but decrease the floor space). I have used mine in good weather, cool rainy weather with very little air movement and in an all night moderate rain. I think it might be tight for a tall person, say around 6 feet and up, but you might sleep at a bit of an angle from one back corner to one front corner. I do not have any pictures unfortunately. I hope this helps you out some.

Here is a picture of mine with a 6'6" sleeping bag inside. I have several inches on each end to spare.Wid Oasis on the Foothills Trail

Hey Robert,

What are you using for your guylines?
they seem extremely reflective… just what I'm looking for :)

This is exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for.

Does anyone have exact " measurements?
