Pitching your family tent
Family camping tents are larger than most, accommodating up
to ten people. They should be sturdy, but will be designed for
moderate rather than severe weather conditions. Although if
you have young children you will probably want to be close
together, look for tents that can be separated into rooms, so
that some family members can have a little privacy.
1
Unpack the tent from the bag. It
follows an extended dome design
and is straightforward to put up,
especially with two people to do
it. You'll put the inner layer up
first, and then add the outer one.
2
Shake out the tent body
approximately where you will
stake out the tent. This tent is self-
supporting so can be easily moved
later to the best position.
3
Place the tent's five poles in the
sleeves in the inner tent and
rainfly. Put them together
by matching their color-coding
to the corresponding colored
flashing on the tent sleeve.
