Elk Mountain Tents
YUKON BELL TENT INSTRUCTIONS
Starting and Storing
•
One person can set up the tent, but it will be easier with two.
•
The groundsheet and tent arrive as two separate pieces. However, we recommend you
keep the two zipped together and only unzip them when you need a breeze or are trying to
cut weight for hauling the tent. The tent is much faster to set up and take down with the
floor attached.
If the Floor is not Attached Yet
1)
Unpack the Tent and lay out the groundsheet. Find the door and rotate the groundsheet
so it’s facing the desired direction. Make sure the tags for pegging it down are on the
outside and you don’t have it inside out.
2)
Place the canvas on top of the groundsheet. Again, make sure it’s the right way around
and the guy ropes are outside. Line the door up with the doorway on the ground sheet.
3)
Zip the canvas and the groundsheet together all the way around (apart from the door).
Once the Floor is Attached
4)
Take the small pegs and, pulling the groundsheet tight, peg it out.
The tent is designed
so you use the same pegs for the groundsheet and the straps on the bottom of the walls
.
5)
Take the main straight pole through the door, find the center of the cone and push the
pole and tent up until it's vertical. The center pole has a rubber gasket at the bottom
and top to protect the floor and canvas.
6)
Put the A frame together and place it inside the door.
It's easier to get it through the
door if you finish putting it together once inside
. Put the spike through the hole as the
top of the door and fit the feet into their holding pockets.
