PITCHING, CARE AND
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
FINDING THE IDEAL SPOT
Look around! Select a site that is flat, clear of rocks, twigs and
›
other hard or sharp objects.
Look down! Find a position that will drain well if it rains.
›
Look up! Check that nothing can fall on your tent.
›
(Stay away from tree limbs, especially Australian gums)
TIP: if you arrive to camp early and the sun is shining bright, consider
pitching your tent closer to dusk. UV exposure deteriorates all fabrics
and keeping your fly out of the blazing sun will maximise its useable life.
POSITIONING THE TENT
The Vagabond tent is a rectangle, so can be pitched in any
›
direction. The design is very stable, able to handle the cyclic
winds so common in Australia.
For the optimum pitch, position the tent so the prevailing
›
wind hits the tent foot or corner.
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Start by pegging out the four corners of the inner. Put
the tent bags in your pocket so they don't fly away! Insert
pegs into the ground on a 45° angle, pushing them all the
way in, don't use your foot to push or stamp in pegs.
2. Put together all tent poles carefully, making sure each
section is fully inserted into the next.
TIP: Do not flick or release the pole while holding the end
section this can fracture the section ends.
