Welcome - Taxa Outdoors 2022 Mantis Owner's Manual

Welcome!

Congratulations on your new habitat!
We hope you go somewhere we have never been. Then we hope you share it with us
and our (your) community.
We hope you stay safe and sane and make the best of every new adventure. These days
are strange and hard but the outdoors always beckons and always refreshes.
The habitat has a new modular storage system of spaces and crates that we hope you
love. It is designed to stow ubiquitous items safely and in their place AND allow you
to do the same with the odd or special items you and only you bring to the great out-
doors. It is designed to let you live indoors and out as seamlessly as we can devise to
date. We have a new orange tent that will revive a favorite view of mine – habitats glow-
ing like gentle lanterns in the night – and the orange also harkens back to Taxa's orig-
inal tent color. The same tent has a new front window where both the solid panel and
screen can be unzipped, giving you unfettered access to the front roof portion from
the inside of your habitat. I suppose the same goes for chipmunks and marmots so be
aware....
Buying a habitat is different than buying a vehicle – you don't just hitch up and go –
plotting and planning and outfitting and optimizing is part of the fun. Taxa habitat is a
product of course but it is even more an investment in your lifestyle. You grow into it.
We have a set of wonderful Habitat Specialists and an even more wonderful community
that will help!
Please support our nations' park systems. It takes work to keep things wild and we are
an essential part of that work as users, as stewards, as advocates. Please take with you
only what you need and leave nothing behind!
As ever:
It is important that you thoroughly review this Owner's Manual. Please consult it any-
time you have a question regarding the safe use, operation, or maintenance of your
habitat and its systems and components. Understanding how they work is an important
part of having a fun, safe travel experience.
We want your first and every adventure to be great. Have a practice session in your
driveway. Hitch that habitat up and drive it around the block. Get comfortable. Ask
questions! Get answers to any questions, issues or problems that arise during your
practice. Get answers from the community, from our FAQs and specialists – send us an
email . Give us a call or email us at customerservice@taxaoutdoors.com. Many ques-
tions can be answered quickly and easily and save you a lot of hassle.
Best,
Garrett Finney,
TAXA Founder
