Expedition tents:
Guy-Out Cord
Guy-out loops are sewn to the outside of the flysheet. On
the inside of the flysheet (opposite of where the guy-out
loops are sewn) are clips (Fig. 3). Attach these clips to the
tent pole and then attach a cord to the guy-out loop and
anchor the tent properly. Make sure you tie your guy-out
cord to objects (tent stakes, rocks, snow pickets, etc.)
which will hold the tent in a strong wind.
Internal Guy System
To further stormproof your tent add two internal guy
systems to the inside of your tent by using the cord and
cord cleats provided and the webbing loops sewn into
the interior walls and roof. Join two pieces of 96” cord,
forming one long cord. Tie one end of the cord to
point B (Fig. 4a) at one inside corner of the tent, and
thread the free end through the webbing loops at points
C, D, and E. Now thread the free end through a cord
cleat (Fig. 1 previous page) and then guide it through the
webbing loop at point F. Secure the free end of the cord
to the line tightener.
With the second long cord and cleat, follow the same
procedure for points G, H, D, I, and J. Adjust these two
internal guy systems as conditions require (Fig. 4b).
