• Avoid snow build up by regularly clearing snow off the surface of the tent.
• Cooking inside your tent should be avoided whenever possible due to
the danger of fire or carbon dioxide poisoning. If you need to make an
exception, make sure to ensure sufficient ventilation and keep the stove
as far from the tent walls as possible. This might mean having to detach
the inner tent and fold it back.
SET Up – gEnEral inSTrUCTiOnS:
VAUDE tents are well known for their simple set up. If any step in the process
seems difficult, do not use force; take the time to find out what the problem is.
1. Spread out the tent on the ground. (Inner and outer tent are delivered
attached to each other.) In windy conditions you should stake out the
tent. Use guy lines to anchor it, for example, to a rock, backpack, etc.
2.
Sort the poles and assemble the sections by sliding them into each other.
Do not whip out the pole sections so they snap together. Make sure that
each pole section is fully inserted into the next section; otherwise they
may crack or break under pressure. Gently slide the poles through the
pole sleeves. Do not pull them through.
3. Erect the tent and make sure that the entrance zip is not under undue
tension or strain which could easily damage the zip. Use the releasing lock
or hook at the bottom of the entrance.
4.
Stakes should be driven in at a 45° angle away from the tent.

The VAUDE Y-stakes that come with our tents are very durable and resis-
tant to bending and especially suited for hard ground and grass. For
extremely hard ground, we recommend the use of tent pegs or spikes.
VAUDE offers special stakes for very soft ground, snow or sand. Hammer
them in vertically for soft soil or bury them horizontally to anchor in sand
or fresh powder snow.
