Setting Up Your Tent
Follow these steps to set up your tent:
1. Unroll the tent and separate the components.
Spread out the tent body with the floor facing
the ground. Assemble the tent poles. Lay the
gold poles across the tent. (See Figure 1.) Insert
the end tips into the grommets on the tent’s
gold stake-out loops. The poles will arch.
2. Stand up the poles and clip the gated carabiner
in the peak of the roof cloth around the two
poles. Using one of the graphite arched poles,
insert the end tip into a grommet on the grey
stake-out loop closest to the rear of the tent.
Walk the pole around the front of the tent and
insert the opposite end into the grey stake-
out loop closest to the rear of the tent.
Repeat this step with the remaining graphite
pole, wrapping it around the rear of the tent.
Note that the poles crisscross. (See Figure 2.)
3. Attach all remaining plastic clips and gated
carabiners to the tent poles, making sure to
capture both poles with the carabiners. (See
Figure 3.)

4. Stake the tent to the ground in the desired
location, making sure the floor is square and
taut.
5. Locate the hook-and-loop tabs on the underside
of the rain fly—these tabs will secure the fly to
the tent poles. Locate the “Backcountry Dome”
logo on the fly and line it up with the logo on
the tent. Drape the fly over the tent. Match up
the gold and grey webs on the tent and fly, but
don’t attach them yet. Reach under the fly and
wrap the hook-and-loop tabs around the tent
poles. Connect the grey and gold webs on the
tent and fly.
6. Using the black tent pole, insert the end tip into
the grommet on the gold web at the front of the
tent. Arch it over the front of the tent and insert
the opposite end of the pole into the gold web
on the other side. Attach the plastic hooks to
the pole. (See Figure 4.)
7. Pull the front and rear of the fly out to form
vestibules. Stake them so they are smooth and
taut. (See Figure 5.)

Attaching High Wind Guylines
It is recommended that you guy out your tent in
high winds. Guylines with pre-attached tensioners
are included in the stake bag of the tent. The tent
fly has attachment loops sewn into it for these
lines.
1. Tie the end of the guyline without the slider to
the loop of the tent fly. (See Figure 6.)
2. Pull the loop from the tensioner and insert the
stake in the loop.
3. Slide the tensioner along until the line is tight
(See Figure 7.)
