TIPS AND TRICKS
Before leaving on your next adventure, check that your
tarp is complete and free of damage.
To secure the pegs in loose earth, sand or snow, wrap
the tarp cord around the center of the peg and bury it
horizontally. You can also use the packsack filled with
sand or snow, or use the Exped Snow and Sand Achors
available separately.
Never light a stove in a tarp as it is a fire hazard.
The seams of a silicone coated tarp fly cannot be factory
seam taped. For water resistance a special cotton wrap
polyester core thead is used. This thread expands when
wet, sealing the stitch holes. Should this not be enough, a
special silicone seam sealer can be applied (e.g. Seamgrip
SIL by McNett).
A sandy or dirty tarp is best sprayed down with a water
hose and a sponge. Do not machine wash.
Dry and air your tarp thoroughly prior to storage. This
process may take a couple of days. Store the tarp in
a dry area away from direct sunlight.

EXPED TARPS
Thank you for purchasing an Exped tarp.
Innovation, quality and refined details distingu-
ish them from all others.
The Scout Tarp Extreme has a windward side for
enhanced weather protection. Tensioning down the
windward side makes it stormproof. When used in
snow, peg down securely and dig a trench at the
entrance to create and safe and cozy shelter
1Windshield wards off wind, sand and snow.
2The stuffsack double as anchor pocket for a
central support. As A-Frame paddle, trekking pole, ski,
poles oder branches can be used.
3The shock cord of the perimeter seam keeps the
tarp sides under tension.
4Cord Stuffsacks prevent tangling of tent cords
during packing. Simply insert three fingers into the
Cord Stuffsack, wrap the tent cord around your fingers
and then turn the stuffsack inside out like with a pair of
socks.
5Guy lines For perfect setup there are numerous
pre-mounted guy lines attached to the tent. Our
Dyneema guy lines are reflective and buckles allow
stepless adjustment.

facing the wind.
AUFBAU
3The stuffsack double as
anchor pocket for a central
support. Supports must
have rounded edges to
prevent damage to the
fabric. Cover sharp edges
with soft materials.
2Secure the narrow side
with two pegs.
5Stake down the front
corners
6Adjust concealed rubber
cord in the seams sorroun-
ding the tarp to tension the
tarp sides as required.
4Tie a guyline to the
central loop of the opposite
narrow end, attach a
trekking pole or similar
support to the guyline and
tension (creates the
door of tent).
SETUP OPTIONS
Variation of the Wedge-A frame tent
Instead of staking down the corners, stake down the
two central loops. Use a shorter support in the stuff-
sack and shortern the front pole. This creates a lower
structure that offers less resitance to wind.
A-Frame
Tie cord between two trees, slip the tarp over the cord
and anchor the corners with pegs or guylines. Depen-
ding on the height of the cord the sides will reach the
ground or a gap to the ground will remain.
IMPORTANT! La stabilité optimale du tarpe n‘est
garantie que si la tension est correcte. Le tissu en
nylon absorbe l‘humidité, se dilate et se contracte à
nouveau une fois sec. Par conséquent, la tente doit
régulièrement être remise en tension.
