3) Roll the tent from head to foot. Use the cinch straps at the foot to secure the rolled swag.
Tip:
No need
to remove your blanket or sleeping bag. Just roll it up inside the swag. The straps are oversized for this
purpose. For long term storage,
don’t leave the cinch straps too tight or you may get some permanent
compression on the mattress pad.
Tip for zippered storage bag:
Rather than lifting the rolled tent into the storage bag, place the storage
bag over the rolled tent, and then flip it over so zipper is upright, then zip.
Care
●
VERY IMPORTANT
—Your tent must be completely dry before storage! STORING A WET OR DAMP
TENT, EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME, CAN RUIN IT AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
●
To clean tent, hose down with water and wipe with a cloth. Soaps and detergents can damage the
water-repellant treatment of the canvas.
●
Do not spray insecticides or bug repellant directly on the canvas. This may damage the water-repellant
treatment.
●
For long-term storage, store in a cool dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
●
This tent is equipped with quality zippers. To prolong zipper life, do not grind the zippers around
corners. If needed pull the canvas, windows or doors to help zippers glide smoothly. Keep them clean
from dirt.
●
The canvas on your tent has a special Hydra-
Shield™ treatment that is watertight yet breathable. You
should rarely, if ever have to retreat the canvas. If you do need to spot treat the canvas for water
repellency, use a silicone based repellent such as Kiwi Camp Dry®. Other treatments will clog the tiny
holes in the canvas eliminating its breathability.

instructions at www.KodiakCanvas.com.
Other Notes
●
Condensation inside the tent is affected by the difference between inside and outside temperatures,
and humidity. Condensation can be reduced by venting your tent. Condensation between the floor and a
sleeping mat can be reduced by placing a ground cloth underneath the tent.
●
Some slight irregularities are normal with 100% cotton canvas and will not affect the performance of
your tent.
