It can be minimized by removing wet clothing from your tent and by providing good ventilation through the tent.
• Never store tent, even for a short period of time, without drying it thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles inside your tent. Use a separate storage bag.
• STAKES SHOULD BE REMOVED BY PULLING ON THE STAKE ITSELF. NEVER PULL ON THE TENT TO REMOVE STAKE.
• TENT POLES SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TELESCOPED TOGETHER DURING STORAGE.
