Taking down your tent and packing it.
Start by sweeping out all dirt from the inner tent. Close all zippers. Pull
up all ground pegs except the ones at the end facing the wind. Push out the poles from behind! Do not attempt to
pull out the poles because the sections will separate from each other making it difficult to get them out! When the
poles have been taken out pull up the remaining pegs, fold and roll up the tent around the pole and peg bags. Make
sure that while rolling the tent, air is gently escaping from it. You can also simply stuff the tent into its bag and pack
away the poles and pegs bags by themselves. If the outer tent is wet detach the inner from it before taking down
the tent. Otherwise inner and outer can remain linked and everything can be packed together.
Drying and caring for your tent.
It is important that you do not store a tent without completely drying it first
except for a short period (during a trip). After use it should be hung in a dry and well-vented spot. Failure to properly
dry all tent components before storing your tent can lead to molding. Stains should be cleaned with luke warm
water. Check it for damage and repair when necessary. Clean and/or replace lost ground pegs. If the tent needs
cleaning use only luke warm water. Poles and pegs should be rolled up inside the tent before it is being placed into
its bag, otherwise you risk damaging the stuff bag.
Use of outer separately.
The tent is designed to be used without the inner. To remove the inner tent, just unclip
it. Pitch the outer tent by itself following the same instructions as with the complete tent. Clip the optional footprint
inside the outer tent to stabilize. If the outer tent is used by itself there is more room than the recommended 2 -
person capacity.
Use a footprint, sold separately, to protect your inner tent from ground moisture, dirt and sharp objects.
Arrange the poles so they line up with their corresponding pole loop.
Gently slide each pole through the material, and place the pole tip into
the pole grommet. Slide the sleeve material over the bending pole and
place the other tip into the opposite grommet. Repeat for the other
poles. Erect the tent once all the poles have been threaded into the
sleeves.
Place pegs through vestibule peg loops and stake out (fig.5 & 6). When
pitching your tent in loose sand you need wide pegs,
(not included)
, or
tie to rocks, trees or gear. Once the tent is erected walk around the tent
and clip all of the clips to the poles.
The tent comes with tied-on guy lines which should always be applied,
even when the weather is fine. It is imperative to peg down the lines as
far as possible from the tent for best results in strong wind. They should
however not be pulled so tight that they distort the natural shape of
the tent.
