Setup Tips:

We recommend long Y-shaped stakes (e.g., MSR Groundhog) for the front and rear guylines for maximum tension, and suitable stakes for the corners depending on the conditions. Place the tent end facing into the wind, not the front or back. Begin by staking two corners 90-120 cm apart with guylines at a 45-degree angle. Leave the corner guylines slightly loose for better ventilation and room for adjustment. Then stake the other two corners in the same manner.

Place the rear pole (adjusted to 125 cm) with the handle up and the tip in the loop. Stake the tent so the pole tilts slightly outward. Repeat for the front pole and adjust the guylines so the ridge is taut and both poles tilt at the same angle. Finally, tighten all corner guylines for a snug pitch. The floor may hang loose, but you can secure it with additional stakes if preferred. While the 10D nylon floor is durable, a ground cloth is recommended to extend its lifespan.

For windy conditions: Choose a sheltered campsite in windy weather. You can weigh down stakes with large rocks if needed for extra security. The tent also features two additional tie-out points for guylines to be used as extra anchors. Ground the wind-facing corners completely to prevent wind from entering.
