On a longer trip to reduce condensation if the outer tent is wet detach the inner from
it before taking down the tent. Otherwise inner and outer can remain linked and
everything can be packed together.
Poles and pegs should not be packed right on the inside of the stuffbag but rolled
up inside the tent before it is being placed into its bag. Otherwise you risk damaging
the stuff bag.
Drying and caring for your tent
It is important that one does not store a tent without drying it first exept for a shorter
period (during a trip). After use it should be hung in a dry and well-vented spot,
preferably with the poles in place so that the fabrics are kept apart.
Before you pack the tent it should be shaken so that all dirt comes out. Stains
should be cleaned with luke warm water. Check it for damage and repair when
necessary.
Clean and replace possibly lost ground pegs. Check the poles for potential damage.
If the tent needs cleaning use only luke warm water.
Check the zippers and brush these with a small stiff brush when you have used the
tent in a sandy or dusty environment. If zippers are not kept clean their life
expectancy will decrease!
When your tent is dry and checked pack it into its stuffbag. Provided there is room in
your household you could hang the tent in a dry and cool place instead of packing it
in its bag.
Avoid pitching your tent unnecessarily in direct sunlight since UV-light damages all
fabrics. Pitching it in the sun during a trip is nothing to worry about, but do not leave
it in the sun for weeks in your garden.
Use of inner or outer separately
It is easy to use the inner tent separately. All
you need is a set of pole holders and lines
between the free pole ends.
Thread the poles through the elastic loops and
place the ends of the pole into the pole
holders. Attach the groundlines to the free pole
ends to hold the pole in place.
