condensation will form on the inside surfaces of your tent. Condensation is
caused by water vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing
inside your tent. It is NOT LEAKAGE through the tent fabric. It can be mini-
mized by removing wet clothing from your tent and by providing good ventila-
tion through the tent.
• Never store tent, even for a short period of time, without drying it thorough-
ly and brushing off caked dirt.Do not pack stakes or poles inside your tent.
Use a separate storage bag.
• STAKES SHOULD BE REMOVED BY PULLING ON THE STAKE ITSELF.
