Erect the Tent

Insert the metal tips of one of the long poles into the grom-

mets at points A & D, and the tips of the other pole into

the grommets at points B & C. Pull the two poles up so

that they intersect at the center of the tent. Next, position

yourself in the open doorway and hook the Clip-Loc over

the widest angle of this intersection (do not attach the bun

-

geecord yet). Following the tent seams between A & D, and

B & C attach all of the Swift Clips to their corresponding

tent poles. Now take the remaining short pole and thread

it between the two main poles at the apex of the tent and

insert the tips into the grommets at points E & F (Figure

3). Now attach the bungee cord on the Clip-Loc at the apex

of the tent by wrapping the bungee in the direction cross

-

ing the open gate of the clip. Wrap the cord around the

pole intersection 2 to 4 times, depending on desired firm

-

ness, then slide the cord into the groove on the backside of

the clip to keep it taut (Figure 4).

Vestibule Section

Because the Baku has an integrated vestibule there is no

separate rainfly. To complete the set-up pull out point G

(Figure 5) until taut and then stake out. For increased sta

-

bility and strength in high winds, points H, I, J, & K, can

be guyed out.

Ventilation

roper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable

living space inside your tent. The vestibule door panel can

be rolled away for maximum ventilation. In addition to

the above the Baku has been built with two vents, one on

each side of the tent, and a mesh panel on the back door. By

opening these vents and using the zipper at the top of the

vestibule you can regulate the ventilation.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we

suggest that you “test pitch” it before embarking on a

wilderness trip.

Select a Site

Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind in

order to ensure sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris

such as sharp stones and sticks which might abrade or

puncture the tent floor. Choose an area that will drain

well when it rains.

Unfurl the Tent and Assemble the Poles

Unfurl the tent and lay the tent floor flat on the ground

with the door unzipped. Carefully unfold the shock corded

pole sections and allow them to slide together. Do not allow

the poles to snap together: This can lead to serious pole

damage. Make certain that the insert of each pole section is

fully inserted into the next pole section (Figure 1). You will

have two poles of equal length and one short pole. Each of

the longer poles will have two pre-bent sections at the end

of each pole (Figure 2).

Stake out the Tent Floor

Although the Baku is a freestanding tent, we suggest that

you always stake out the floor for greater safety and stability,

especially in high winds. First stake the webbing loops at

points A & B (Figure 3). Then move to the opposite side of

the tent, pulling the webbing loops at corners C & D until

the tent is squarely and tautly positioned, and then stake down.
