Fly: Place the fly over the tent, aligning the color-coded buckle straps
in the fly’s corners with the matching colored straps at the inner tent’s
corners (red-to-red, green-to-green). Insert the spreader-pole ends, at the
top of the tent, to the grommets on the under-side of the fly above each
door. Attach the quick release buckles at all four corners of the tent floor.
Loosen each of these buckles in preparation for staking.
Stakes and tension: Before staking to the ground, take this opportunity to
re-position the tent for maximum comfort (wind, roots, rocks, slope, etc.)
Any tent is made much more stable in wind when properly tensioned,
staked and guyed. At a minimum, one stake at each vestibule can be
sufficient in light weather. For greater strength and weather resistance,
additional stakes through all anchor loops at the pole ends are recom-
mended. In all cases, stability is increased by tightening the stake lines
via the buckles at the base of each vestibule, as well as the fly-tensioners
at the base of each pole. In strong wind, use of the included guy lines
strengthens the structure.
Teardown
Stakes: Remove all stakes and release guy lines.
Poles/Clips: Unclip the fly from all four corners. Next, detach the fly grom-
mets from the spreader-pole ends. Remove the fly and fold it lengthwise,
matching the width of the stuff sack. Carefully remove all poles from
inner-tent grommets. Note that these poles are curved and under tension,
so release them slowly. Carefully collapse pole/hub assembly and place
in pole/stake bag.
Pack: Spread out the inner tent and fold the long sides of the tent in
thirds so the width corresponds to the stuff sack length. Place the full
accessory bag at one end of the folded tent as a rolling aid and roll the
tent tightly. Now roll this bundle into the fly. Slip the rolled tent into the
stuff sack and tighten the compression straps.

Tips and Tricks
– Before heading out on a trip, check that no parts are missing, make
necessary repairs and replace any damaged parts.
– In soft terrain, like sand or snow, tie the guylines to the center of the stakes
and bury them square into the ground. Consider Exped Sand and Snow
Anchors.
– Keep the tent properly vented at all times.
– To increase vestibule space, partially unhook the inner canopy
and push it back. Inner canopy can be removed entirely for maximum
space.
