GUYING OUT YOUR TENT: Your tent includes guy out

loops, guylines, and stakes. It is good practice to
always guy out your tent, but is absolutely necessary
when it’s windy.

Tie the end of the guy line
to the reective guy out
loop on your tent.

Guy out your Nightwatch 2 tent where shown below to
prevent pole rotation/breakage during high winds.

Use the black LINE-LOK
to adjust the length of
the guy line.

Stake out the end of the
guy into the ground.
