Ventilate the Tent

Besides staking and guying all the points listed above,

there are a variety of ventilation options available for the

Nomad 5. The full-coverage fly can be changed into a

partial-coverage fly that covers only the top of the tent.

To do this, roll up the fly and attach the buckles at

points K, L, N, and M on the fly to the buckles at points

G, H, J, and I on the tent. Also, attach the buckles on

the outside of the fly at points U and V to their counter-

parts on the inside of the fly (Figure 7).

To get some air moving through the tent, the front pan-

els of the vestibule can be short-sheeted, or shortened, so

that air passes through the bottom area of the vestibule.

To short-sheet the vestibule, attach the buckles at points

W, X, Y, and Z to the buckles at points P, O, Q, and R

on the inside of the fly (Figure 8).

The front panels of the two vestibules can also be used as

awnings (Figure 9). One awning pole is included with the

tent (Pole C, Figure 1). Unzip the vestibule on both

sides. Thread the awning pole through the sleeve at the

bottom of the vestibule, which goes between points W

and X or Y and Z. The ends of the awning can be

snapped in place around the awning pole. Put the tips of

the awning poles into the grommets located on the ends

of the vestibule loops at points G and H or I and J. Guy-

out the awning from the two small metal loops located

on the pole. To take up slack in the awning, use the strap

located on the underside of the awning/front vestibule

panel. Attach the buckles at point S to AA or T to BB

and tighten the strap. An awning can also be created

without the awning pole by guying-out the awning to

trekking poles or trees.

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.

Stake Out the Tent

Use tent stakes to make the tent floor taught and secure

the tent to the ground. First, stake out the tent at points

A and D. Then, pull out the stake loops at points C and

F until the tent floor is taught, and then stake these

points down. Drive the stakes into the ground at an angle

away from the tent (Figure 4). Next, pull out the stake

loops at points B and E and stake them down. If desired,

stake-out the doormats at points K, L, M, and N.

Put on the Fly

The blue and gray fly shelters the tent body from rain,

wind, and sun (Figure 5). The outside of the fly has a flat

finish and has reflective Sierra Designs logos on it. The

inside of the fly has a shiny polyurethane finish. Drape

the fly over the tent and arrange it so the two royal blue

stake loops on the tent align with the two royal blue fly

attachment pieces on the fly at points A and F. Attach

the fly to the tent poles via Velcro attachments located

underneath the fly at points K, S, N, L, T and M. 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 stake loops and pull the

straps until the fly is taught (Figure 6). By 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 every time. Try to align the seam lines on the fly with

the poles underneath. Stake out the fly vestibules away

from the tent body at points G, H, I, and J. For maxi-

mum stability in high winds, guy-out the tent at points

K, L, M, and N.
