Take down: Pull up stakes. Remove the fly and fold it into a long rectangle. Pull poles out of the grommets, collapse the frame and stow. Fold the tent into a long rectangle and lay the fly on top 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: with web loops, grommets, and side release buckles. The Footprint, along with the fly and poles creates a lightweight, compact basic shelter with a carry weight reduced by more than 25%.
