NOMAD 4.1

Your Sierra Designs

NOMAD 4.1 tent is very easy

to pitch and maintain. Follow

these instructions to pitch

your tent quickly, safely

and easily.

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 sec-

tions 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 three poles of

equal length.

Stake Out the Tent Floor

The Nomad 4.1 is a freestanding tent. Staking out the floor is

not necessary in order to pitch it. However, we recommend that

you stake down the tent after it is pitched for greater stability

in high winds.

Erect the Tent

Insert one pole into the pole sleeve which runs from point A to

point E (Figure 2). Insert another pole into the pole sleeve run-

ning from B to D. Insert the metal tips of the pole ends into

their respective grommets at points A and B. Then, from the

opposite end of the tent push the poles into the pole sleeves, one

at a time, making them flex into an even curve, until you can

insert the other ends of the poles into the grommets at points D

and E. Next, insert the metal tips of the remaining pole into the

grommets at points C and F. Locate the Swift Clip

™

at the apex

of the tent, along the C-F axis, and attach it to the C-F pole.

Following the seam along the path of the pole, attach the re-

maining Swift Clips to the pole.

Flysheet

Drape the fly over the tent and position the vestibule zippers

over the front and back door (Figure 3). Attach the fly to the

tent poles via Velcro

®

attachments located underneath the fly at

points L, M, N and O. At each pole end (points A, B, C, D, E

and F) there are 1" side-release “fly clip” buckles. Clip these

buckles into their corresponding mates on the tent floor and

pull the straps until the fly is taut (Figure 4). By first clipping

the blue webbing strap on the rainfly to a blue webbing strap

on the body, you are guaranteed a fast, proper rainfly set-up ev-

ery time. Stake out the fly vestibule away from the tent body at

points G and H. We recommend you stake out points I, J, and

K for maximum ventilation. The tent may be guyed out from

points L, M, N and O for maximum stability in high winds.

Ventilation

Besides staking and guying out all points listed above,

optimal airflow through the tent itself can be obtained by leav-

ing part of the double-zippered vestibule open or by rolling up

the sides of the rain fly.

Rain Fly

The full-coverage can be changed into a partial-coverage fly for

increased ventilation. To do this, unclip the fly from the "fly-

clip" buckles and begin rolling the fly up. Once you have

gotten to about

rd of the way up the tent wall, attach the

buckles to the buckles on the tend body near points L, M, N

and O.

Vestibule

The vestibule can be pitched in a variety of configurations to

address different weather, storage, ventilation, or wind condi-

tions. The vestibule door may be folded back on itself on the

inside and attached by the ¾" side release buckles to form a half

or one third door. The entire door may be guyed out from

points G and H to form a large awning, or it may be folded in

half to form a small awning. Or, the vestibule door may be

rolled entirely out of the way, forming an unobstructed yet

protected entrance.
