4 Mesh Organizers
1 Stake Bag/Stakes
NOTE:
Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and/or damage the pole ends.
Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. If it's windy, stake down one front corner into wind.
Assemble all of the shock corded poles. Keep the pole sections from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends. Make certain each plain end has been properly seated into the metal ferrule. Lay the poles side by side and divide according to length. Long for the tent and short for the fly.
The two long poles cross at the center through the sleeves and run corner to corner. See fig 1 & 2.
Place a corner pin into the end of one of the poles. See fig. 3.
At the opposite end, with the pole in one hand and a pin & ring in the other, feed the pole up, bending it evenly along its length to create an arc. Make sure the ferrules do not get caught on the sleeves. Place the pin into the end of the pole to maintain tension. Repeat with the other pole. See fig 4.
Start at the bottom and attach all the clips to the poles to create a freestanding tent. See fig 5. Place the tent in the desired location.
Stake the tent down through the corner web loops. Stake the opposite corners while applying tension to smooth the floor wrinkles. It works best to do this before you add the fly. See fig 6 & 7.
NOTE: General purpose stakes are included but snow or sand stakes can be purchased at a Eureka! dealer.
Once the tent is securely staked down, spread the rain fly out upside down. Find the web pockets at the edges. Place the ends of the fly rods into the pockets. Wrap the hook and loop fasteners around the rods to hold it in place. See Fig. 8, 9 & 10.
Turn the fly right side up and drape it over the top of the tent. The Eureka! logo should be over the front door. Reach under the fly and wrap the hook and loop straps around the poles to secure the fly to the tent frame. See fig. 11.
Fasten the shock corded J-hook at each of the corners of the fly, to the rings on corners of the tent. See fig.12.
NOTE: In strong winds, tie extra cords to the storm loops on the fly and stake down so that the cords are tight.
Take down: Pull up stakes and open doors. Remove the fly. Pull pins out of the poles. Unclip, collapse the tent poles and stow in the pole bag.
Fold the tent/fly. Roll up both along with the pole bag towards the door and stow all in the main bag.
Mesh Organizers for small accessories. This tent is equipped with hanging mesh pockets for small accessories and water bottles. Do not keep food in the tent. A hungry animal that smells food will chew or claw through fabric.
Optional equipment: Floor Saver, placed under the tent, protects floor and keeps it clean.
KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC.

We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip®.
All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate.
Staking in special conditions:
Do not depend upon staking alone to keep your tent secure during high winds. Most tent models have built-in loops or rings at optimal guy out locations. It's important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent during exceptional weather.
The guy lines will work together through opposition. See illustrations below:
Through perspiration and breathing, an adult gives off about a pint of water overnight. If it cannot escape, the water vapor condenses to liquid. Most often, water found in the tent is a result of this condensation rather than from the tent leaking. Condensation often forms where the sleeping bag touches the side of the tent, under the sleeping pad, or on coated surfaces such as the door flaps. A tent's double wall construction allows the vapor to escape through the roof to the outside, keeping the inside of the tent dry.
Leave the windows partially open at night to provide cross ventilation and further reduce condensation. Cross ventilation becomes more important in very humid or extremely cold conditions when the permeable roof is less effective. The features that enhance ventilation are windows, short-sheeted flys (bottom venting), roof vents, and High/Low venting doors. These are specific to each tent model.
Given the importance of proper ventilation, We use High/Low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. High/Low venting is accomplished within the inner tent via roof vents, doors and windows. It is important to vent the vestibule. Unvented, it can inhibit airflow into the tent. Our tent vestibules profit from the ability to "short sheet" by means of zippers & toggles and staked vestibule pull outs create a bellowing effect.
Most of our tents are equipped with a High/Low venting door. This design allows increased airflow into the tent from the bottom. Open the low vent/window to admit cool air, allowing the warmer air out through the high roof vents. When rain and wind prevent the low vent from being opened, the high door vent can still be used. Fly overhangs or vestibules protect it.
Ultraviolet light damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to UV degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle and tear easily. We recommend that you use the rain fly even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if damaged. UV damage can be minimized by erecting tents on shaded sites with low exposure to direct sunlight.
