tions these are the only points you will need to stake out.

For more severe or wet conditions you should stake out

points C, D, E, and F.

Erect the Tent

Insert the METAL tips of the longer “front arch” pole into

the grommets at points C and D (Figure 3). Clip the Swift

Clip

located above the door over the center section of the

pole. Then attach the remaining Swift Clips

™

, following

the seam along the path of the pole, between points C and

D. Now, insert the metal tips of the shorter “rear pole”

into the grommets at points E and F, and attach the rear

Swift Clips

to this pole.

Flysheet

Drape the fly over the tent and position the zipper over

the tent door (Figure 4). Attach the Velcro to the front

and rear pole at points J and K. At points A, B, C, D, E,

and F are

/4” side-release buckles (Figure 5). Clip these

buckles into their corresponding mates on the tent floor

and pull the straps until the fly is taut. 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 every time. At points A and B, adjust the webbing

to be certain that the rainfly is fully covering the tent body.

Now pull out point G until the vestibule is taut and stake it

out. You can use a guy line to guy out the fly at points H

and I for increased ventilation.

Ventilation

The best air flow through the tent is obtained by pitching

the tent with the foot area into the wind. With the rainfly

on, airflow is increased by guying out the rainfly away

from the tent walls. Additionally, the door can be folded

back and tied in an open position.

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 sec-

tion is fully inserted into the next pole section (Figure 1).

You will have one long “front arch” pole and one short

“rear arch” pole (Figure 2).

Stake Out the Tent Floor

First stake down the adjustable webbing loop at the front

and rear of the tent at points A and B (Figure 3). Adjust

the webbing at these points so it is taut. In mild condi-

How do I impregnate a tent? Verified

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed.

Can I repair a tear or hole in the canvas of my tent myself? Verified

There are special pieces of self-adhesive patches of cloth available for synthetic tent canvases. Stick one of these patches on both sides of the hole or tear. For cotton tent canvases or mixed material tent canvases it's best to use patches that can be ironed on. This will require an iron.

The impregnation agent leaves white stains or a white haze on the tent cloth, what can I do about this? Verified

If the agent leaves a white haze or white stains on the tent cloth, this means you have applied more impregnation agent on those areas. This is not harmful and the stains often disappear over time. It is not advisable to use less impregnation agent to prevent stains. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent to give good results.
