Field & Stream Tent Instructions
- 1). Remove the tent from the packaging; spread out the materials on the ground. Separate the tent body, and lay it flat on the tent site. Place several rocks on the corners to prevent it from blowing away.
- 2). Assemble the tent poles by connecting the ferrules on each section. Dome tents have two main poles and one smaller pole. Tunnel tents use several poles, with the largest fitting the door and the smallest fitting the back of the tent.
- 3). Slide the two main poles through the sleeves to create an "X" on the dome tent. Slide the poles through the sleeves in a parallel fashion on the tunnel tents. Flex the poles, and place the ends in the corresponding pole pockets on the bottom of the tent. The door-pole ends share the front-corner position with another pole on tunnel-model tents.
- 4). Pull on the tent fabric to remove wrinkles and tighten the floor area. Locate the ground loops on the tent; use a rock to pound stakes through the loops.
- 5). Drape the fly over the dome tent, and attach the corner hooks to the small corner-loops. Slide the short pole through the sleeve on the front of the fly. Place the pole corners in the front-corner grommets to flex the pole and create a door awning.
