– take care of your Nordisk tent!
Before Trek
build up the tent from home and check if everything is ok.
know the environment you‘ll go to (sand, hard soil, snow), and check that pegs
etc. matches this
consider to bring along a footprint
check that the poles are ok, and if not; buy a new set before you go
bring along a repair kit incl. an outer tube for poles and tape for brokens seams
etc.
make sure the tent is clean
ensure that zippers runs smoothly (if not, get some silicone spray)
if trekking in very wet conditions, seal the seams with a seam sealer, but check
if it is SI or PU
do not overfill your packsack as you might need the extra space during the trip
optimize weight by leaving pegs, inner cabin etc. at home if it’s not needed on
the trip
compress the packsack as much as possible
In the Camp
make sure you pitch on an even surface. Some models depends on this for opti-
mal ventilation
do not camp in too high grass if you want floor level ventilation
remove sharp rocks and sticks that could harm the tent floor (i.e. use footprint)
stretch the tent as much as possible for optimal strength and water repellency
if wet or very windy, you need to re-adjust the tension of the guy ropes
if very windy, use extra guy ropes and pegs for stability
put the packsack somewhere where you can find it again (i.e. mesh pockets inside
the tent)
avoid fire and smoke near the tent – be aware of wind directions!
keep an eye on guy rope tension once in a while
