Elk YUKON BELL Instructions

YUKON BELL TENT INSTRUCTIONS

Starting and Storing

• One person can set up the tent, but it will be easier with two.

• The groundsheet and tent arrive as two separate pieces. However, we recommend you

keep the two zipped together and only unzip them when you need a breeze or are trying to

cut weight for hauling the tent. The tent is much faster to set up and take down with the

floor attached.

Unpack the Tent and lay out the groundsheet. Find the door and rotate the groundsheet

so it's facing the desired direction. Make sure the tags for pegging it down are on the

outside and you don't have it inside out.

Place the canvas on top of the groundsheet. Again, make sure it's the right way around

and the guy ropes are outside. Line the door up with the doorway on the ground sheet.

Zip the canvas and the groundsheet together all the way around (apart from the door).

Take the small pegs and, pulling the groundsheet tight, peg it out. The tent is designed

so you use the same pegs for the groundsheet and the straps on the bottom of the walls.

Take the main straight pole through the door, find the center of the cone and push the

pole and tent up until it's vertical. The center pole has a rubber gasket at the bottom

and top to protect the floor and canvas.

Put the A frame together and place it inside the door. It's easier to get it through the

door if you finish putting it together once inside. Put the spike through the hole as the

top of the door and fit the feet into their holding pockets.

Page 2 Zip the door shut and, using the large pegs, attach the first guy rope above the door. Then attach the rest of the guy ropes around the whole tent without putting any of them under too much tension. All the guy ropes need to follow the lines of the seams in the roof.
Page 3 Want the Walls up? • If it’s a hot day, there is nothing better that rolling the walls up and letting the breeze brush over you. You can roll up the whole tent or just a section. • Simply unzip the section you want up, roll the wall up from the inside and tie using the strings provided.
Page 4 How to Pack up Your Tent like a Champ! 1. Take all the poles and pegs out of the tent while keeping the canvas off the grass. This helps keep your tent clean and grass stain free. Without standing on the canvas, fold half of the tent over so you have a half moon with the groundsheet facing up.
Page 5 6. Now fold the strip in half and place the pole bag and peg bag at one end. Roll the whole thing into a tight bundle using the ties to secure the tent as a roll. Next, lift one end and slip the bag over the tent.
