HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP

•Our tents are easy to set up but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.

•Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.

•Big Agnes tents are all freestanding, but we recommend staking them out to increase space

and keep your tent from becoming a tumbleweed.

•Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.

•Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.

•Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
