WARRANTY
•
Fire
near your tent is a
NO-NO
. Your tent can burn. Never
cook in your tent or use candles for light inside.
• To minimize UV damage from the sun, don’t keep tent set up for
long periods of time or when not in use.
• The fly is equipped with closable vents. Opening these vents
increases flow-through ventilation.
• If you pitch the tent in a wind, anchor the tent before you put the
poles in. Gear alone probably won’t hold down your tent even in
winds as light as 25mph. Many tents have been destroyed by
unexpected winds rolling them away with gear inside! In strong
winds you will want to anchor every stake loop and guyout.
• The best way to use rocks for staking and guying out in rocky ter-
rain is to find one large and one small rock. Tie a piece of cord
from your stake or guy-out point around the small rock, set the
large rock on top of the cord right next to the small rock, pull
back until it’s tight. (See p. 4)
• Leaving the fly on the tent when you take it down is sometimes
handy. Packing the tent and fly as a single connected unit speeds
setup and the tent will be immediately protected from rain when
you pull it out next time.
Before packing you should dry out the tent and fly. This way you
won’t have to carry water rolled into the tent and it will help
keep the tent from mildewing.
