Component List:    1 Tent Body,  1 Tent Fly,  4 Part Frame Assembly,  1 Carry Bag,   

 

 

    1 Stake Bag with Stakes,  1 Pole Bag,   1 Pole Repair Splint

 

NOTE: Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to 

1. 

Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. In windy conditions, stake down 

one front corner into wind. See fig.1.

3. 

Fit the ring/pins into the poles: There are webs 

sewn to each corner of the tent. Start at either 

end and insert the pins into the bottom of the 

poles at that end. Repeat at the opposite end.  

See fig. 4.

4. 

Raise the frame: Start 

at either end and insert 

the ridge pole into the 

hub. Walk to the 

opposite end and 

grasp both the ridge 

pole and the second 

hub. Push/curve the 

poles until the ridge 

pole fits securely 

into the second 

hub. See fig. 5.

 At each corner, attach the web 

buckles, from the fly, to their 

mates on the tent web. Pull the 

web to adjust tension as needed. 

See fig.11.

7.

 Stake the tent down:  The tent is 

now freestanding. Move it to your 

desired location. Stake it down 

through the web loops.          

Stake opposite corners while 

applying tension to smooth 

the floor wrinkles and 

square the tent.        

    See fig.9.

6.

 Install the spreader pole: Lay the pole across 

the top, over and perpendicular to the ridge 

pole. There are two pockets sewn to the top of 

the tent body. One of the pockets has a Velcro

®

 

closure and the other is plain. It is easier if you  

slide the pole into the plain pocket first and 

then capture the other end with the Velcro

®

        

See fig.8 & 9.

2. 

Join the frame sections on the ground: Fit each pole to its mate or hub. The 

sections are shockcorded. Try to keep the poles from snapping together, as 

this can damage the ends. It is important to make sure that each section has 

firmly seated into the hub. Improperly fit poles may cause the hub to break. 

Set the “A” frames over the 

tent so that the poles align 

to the tent corner webs. 

See fig. 2 & 3.

5. 

frame: There are two types of 

connectors sewn to the tent 

body. For the first, hang the 

two end shockcords onto the 

stand-offs on the hubs.      

See fig. 6

Then, work your way down and 

across the frame, attaching 

the pole clips as you go.    

See fig. 7.

8. 

Attach the fly to the tent: Drape the fly over the top of the tent. Pull the fabric 

out and over the hubs and out and over the spreader. 

The fly only fits one way. The 

entrance on the fly must 

align with the door of 

the tent. See fig 10.

9. 

Stake out the weather cover: At the front of the tent, pull the stake 

out loops on the weather cover taut and stake them down. 

Take down: Pull up stakes and open the door. Remove the fly. Un-clip the tent from 

the poles. Pull poles out off the pins, collapse the poles and stow in the bag. Fold 

the tent and fly. Lay the fly on the folded tent along with the bag of poles. Roll up 

all and stow in the carry bag.

Optional: Add durability and versatility to your tent with our “Lite-Set” Footprint. It’s 

made of the same fabric as the tent's floor: complete with web loops, grommets, 

and side release buckles. The Footprint, in combination with the fly and poles 

creates a lightweight, compact basic shelter. This option reduces the carry weight 

by more than 25%.
