Pitching your lightweight tent
For those hiking long distances for days or even weeks on
end, this tent is light enough to carry on your own, although
it will offer enough space for two people. To save even more
weight, you may wish to take only a tarpaulin and use some
walking poles to support it, but this kind of tent is so light, it
weighs little more than a bag of sugar, so it's worth the effort.

Start by removing your tent from
the carry bag. The fly and inner
tent of this model are erected
together, a useful design feature
when pitching a tent in the rain.
Slacken off the nylon straps at
each corner of the inner before
you insert the single pole. Try to
remember to do this when you
take the tent down.

Carefully connect each segment of
the pole together, taking care not
to strain the elastic by letting the
pole segments snap together.
The pole ends on this model are
identical, so it doesn't matter
which end you use. Gently insert
it into the single pole sleeve.
