for Backcountry 1
Component List:
1 Tent Body 1 Tent Fly 1 Tent Bag 2 Tent Poles
1 Pole Bag 1 Fly Rod 1 Set Stakes w/Bag
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.
Assembly:
• Unpack the tent bag. Unfold the tent and lay it out, with
the floor on the ground with a grommeted web in each
corner. Pull the tent into a rough rectangle. Do not stake
down the tent just yet; but in windy conditions, stake
down one corner that faces into the wind.
• Assemble the shockcorded tent poles and fly rod.
Carefully seat each section. Try to keep the poles from
snapping together as this can damage the ends.
• At the front of the tent body at A, slide a pole diagonally
across the tent, through the sleeves, to the opposite side
B. Follow the seam from sleeve to sleeve. Push the pole,
don't pull it. Continue with the second pole through its
sleeves from C to D. See fig.1.
