Things You Should Know

•

Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity, etc.)
condensation will form on the inside surfaces of your tent. Condensation is
caused by water vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing
inside your tent. It is NOT LEAKAGE through the tent fabric. It can be
minimized by removing wet clothing from your tent and by providing good
ventilation through the tent.

•

Never store tent, even for a short period of time, without drying it
thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles inside
your tent. Use a separate storage bag.

•

S TAKES SHOULD BE REMOVED BY PULLING ON THE STAKE ITSELF.
NEVER PULL ON THE T E N T FABRIC OR T E N T S TAKE LOOP TO
REMOVE STA K E .

•

T E N T POLES SHOULD NOT BE LEFT T E L E S C O P E D
TOGETHER DURING STO R A G E .

•

Seam sealer has not been provided with your tent. For additional protection
we recommend seam sealing your tent prior to camping. Seam sealer may be
purchased through your local retailer or at your local sporting goods store.

•

Do not leave your tent set-up for weeks at a time, be aware that
exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun can seriously damage material
and/or cause it to become discolored.
