Using an additional footprint provides extra protextion if
pitching on rough or boggy ground,
falling rocks and trees, lightning, flash floods, avalanches
exposed to flame or excessive heat.
Heksa pitches inner first. If you have a footprint now is the
time to peg it out. Ensure the ground is free from sharp
objects and rocks that may damage your groundsheet.
Lay the inner tent out on the ground and peg it out at the
corners. Assemble the silver, gold, and bronze poles and
thread them through the colour-coded pole sleeves. [Fig 1]
