TAkE Down – gEnERAL inSTRUCTionS:
• Remove everything from the tent’s interior.
• Freestanding tents can be gently shaken out to remove leaves, sand, and
other debris.
• Turn the tent over with floor facing upward and allow it to dry a bit longer.
• If it’s not possible to dry the tent completely before packing it, this should
be done within 12 hours to prevent the risk of mold and mildew growth.
• As in the tent set up, never pull the poles out of the pole sleeves; rather
push them through.
• When storing a tent in its stuff sack, make sure that stakes and poles don’t
press against the tent fabric and damage it.
• Before taking down your tent, close all zips and roll up the guy lines. That
way you won’t have to untangle them when it comes time to set the tent
up again, and pitching is that much easier.
