Becoming Familiar With Your Tent
Before your first adventure we recommend that you
set up the tent to become familiar with the parts
and set-up procedure. Your tent storage bag will
include:
• One tent
• One pole bag with two gold poles, two graphite
poles, one arched black pole
• One stake bag with stakes
• One rain fly
Selecting a Site
Select a site that is clear of debris and other objects
that could damage the floor of the tent. Check
above the tent for any potentially dangerous tree
limbs.
WARNING: Keep all flame and heat
sources away from this tent fabric.
This tent meets the flammability
requirements of CPAI-84. The fabric
may burn if left in continuous contact
with any flame source. The application
of any foreign substance to the tent
fabric may render the flame resistant
properties ineffective.
WARNING: Do not use fuel-burning
devices inside or near this tent.
Use of such devices in this tent could
cause death or serious injuries to you
or others using this tent due to carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Setting Up Your Tent
Follow these steps to set up your tent:
1. Unroll the tent and separate the components.
Spread out the tent body with the floor facing
the ground. Assemble the tent poles. Lay the
gold poles across the tent. (See Figure 1.) Insert
the end tips into the grommets on the tent's
gold stake-out loops. The poles will arch.

2. Stand up the poles and clip the gated carabiner
in the peak of the roof cloth around the two
poles. Using one of the graphite arched poles,
insert the end tip into a grommet on the grey
stake-out loop closest to the rear of the tent.
Walk the pole around the front of the tent and
insert the opposite end into the grey stake-
out loop closest to the rear of the tent.
Repeat this step with the remaining graphite
pole, wrapping it around the rear of the tent.
Note that the poles crisscross. (See Figure 2.)

3. Attach all remaining plastic clips and gated
carabiners to the tent poles, making sure to
capture both poles with the carabiners. (See
Figure 3.)
