Place the tent in your favored
location, then get inside and lie
down. This will alert you to any
uncomfortable lumps that might
ruin your sleep. You can then
stake the tent out.
Use a mallet for larger tents
where you have to place many
stakes. Or you could use stone as
an alternative. Always drive the
stakes in at a slight inward angle
(see pp80-1).

Once you have put the rainfly
over the tent you can decide how
to organize the interior space.
Here an inner wall is used to
separate one end of the structure
off as sleeping quarters.
The pitched tent. Sheltered by
trees, it is pitched on level
ground with plenty of ventilation
and light. This will provide a
comfortable base with distinct
areas for sleeping and socializing.
