NOMAD 5.1

Your Sierra Designs

NOMAD 5.1 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

Pitch the tent on a level area that is protected from

wind and shaded from the sun, if possible. It also im-

portant that the campsite drains well, in case of rain.

Clear the area of debris such as sharp stones and sticks

that might abrade or puncture the tent floor.

Assemble the Poles

The Nomad 5.1 tent comes with four main poles, one

vestibule pole and one awning pole. Two of the main

poles (Pole A) and the vestibule pole (Pole C) are pre-

bent. The remaining two main poles are in the shape of

the letter “V” (Pole B) and the awning pole has two

bends in it (Pole

D). Carefully un-

fold the shock

corded pole sec-

tions and allow

them to slide to-

gether. Do not

snap the pole sec-

tions together, this

will damage the

poles. Make certain

that the insert of

each pole section is

fully inserted into

the next pole sec-

tion (Figure 2).

Failure to do so

will cause your

poles to crack.

Lay Out Tent Body

Unfold the royal blue and white tent body. Spread the

tent out, with the white canopy fabric facing up. Do not

step on the tent while setting it up. Spread the tent floor

out and locate all six of the stake loops. The two royal

blue stake loops are points A and F (Figure 3).

Locate the Pole Sleeves

There are two pole sleeves on this tent, running from A

to F and C to D. The pole sleeves start very near the cor-

ner stake loops, right above the navy blue sidewall fabric.

Thread the Poles Through the Sleeves

The two slightly pre-bent poles (Pole A, Figure 1) run A

to F and C to D. Insert the poles into the pole sleeves,

with the ends of the poles protruding equal distances on

both ends of the pole sleeves.

Erect the Tent

Once both pre-bent poles (Pole A) have been threaded

into the sleeves, arrange the tent body again so you can

see all six stake loops. Arrange the poles so they line up

with their corresponding stake loops. Working with one

pole at a time, insert one tip into its stake loop grommet,

and then push the pole from the opposite side into its

arched position. Insert the other pole tip into its stake

loop. To help push the pole into an arch, grab the stake

loop in one hand and the pole in the other. Pull the stake

loop towards the pole tip, while pushing the pole into its

arched position. Repeat for the other pole/ pole sleeve.

The two “V” poles (Pole B, Figure 1) both run from B to E.

One goes from B to P to E, and the other goes from B to O

to E. Insert the pole tips of these poles into the grommets at

B and E – both poles share the same two stake loops. Clip

these poles into place, one along the B-G-O-J-E seamline,

and one along the E-I-P-H-B seamline.
