Choice of site

Find a site that is even and without any sharp objects. Remove those things that

can damage your tent.

Find a spot that is protected from the wind. Avoid pitching your tent close to any

bodies of water to minimize condensation. Avoid also hollows where rain water can

gather.

Preparations for

pitching your tent

It is good to start by

securing one vestibule

end of the tent against

the wind. Make sure

that all sections are

assembled properly.

You can for example tie the guy line of the vent to a pack or anything else to avoid

your tent to get blown away in strong wind. When the tent is secured get out the

poles and assemble the sections.

English

Insert the poles into the pole sleeves

until you feel a slight resistance

(about 1–1,5 m / 40-60 inches into

the sleeve). Then pull the sleeve

over the pole until it bottoms at the

reinforced end of the sleeve.

Make sure that the pole does not

bend before it gets to the reinforced

end.

Take the tent by the pole tensioner

(f.ex. peg loop) and insert the pole

fully into the sleeve so that it bends

naturally!

Place the end of the pole into the plastic cup of

the pole tensioner.

Pull it taut with the webbing until

the pole is right against the side

of the tent.

Pole tensioners and pole sleeves allow for

double poling, enhancing stability and

strength for the most demanding

undertakingsl

The pole sleeves have only one opening. In

strong wind you can kneel on the tent to

keep it on the ground.

Pegging your tent

Place ground pegs at the corners of

the vestibule facing the wind.

Pull the tent taut and place the

ground pegs at the corners of the

other vestibule – remember to loosen

the adjustable peg loops fully before

placing the pegs through the rings

into the ground.

The outer tent has peg loops at the

sides (at the ends of the poles).

Ground pegs are to be placed at an angle of 45° into the ground for good grip.

Pull the webbing of the adjustable peg loops so that the tent is stretched well.

Pull out the guy lines at the vents and peg them down.

Securing your tent in snow and loose sand

When pitching your tent in snow and loose sand you need wide pegs, alternatively

other means of holding your tent which can be dug into the surface. Hilleberg´s peg

for snow and loose sand is 31 x 3 cm / 12 x 1.2

inches and has a line with a hook tied to it.

In hard snow the snow peg can be applied as

an ordinary ground peg. In loose snow it should

be dug down at a straight angle and its hook be

clipped to the tent or a guy line.

Use of guy lines

The tent comes with tied-on guy lines which should always be applied, even when

the weather is fine.

When the ground pegs at the corners and the other rings/loops are in place one

should pull out the guy lines and peg these to the ground. An angle of

When the tent is pitched one should shovel some snow against the walls to keep

wind from getting underneath. In certain situations a tent should be dug down into

the snow, but never deeper than 50% of the height of the tent.

approximately 45° (90° at the centre

pole) to the direction of the tent is

appropriate but the prevailing

direction of the wind should be

considered.

The guy lines have two line runners

each and are therefore easy to

adjust even when they are

immobilized at the pegs or other

fasteners. It is imperative to peg

down the lines as far as possible

from the tent for best results in

strong wind. They should however not be pulled so tight that they they distort the

natural shape of the tent.

Ventilation

The tent has two large

adjustable vents in the

vestibules. These should be

kept open as much as possible

for maximum ventilation

Inner tent entrances are

doubled with no-see-um netting.

The covers of which should be

kept open for best venting

effect!

Taking down your tent and packing it

Start by sweeping out all dirt from the inner tent. Close all zippers.

Pull up all ground pegs except the ones at the end facing the wind.

Push out the poles from behind! Do not attempt to pull out the poles because

the sections will separate from each other making it difficult to get them out!

In strong and gusty wind one can use another set of guy lines and angle them

differently from the tent for more stability in shifting wind directions!

When the poles have been taken

out pull up the possibly remaining

pegs, fold and roll up the tent

around the pole and peg bags.

Make sure that while rolling the tent,

air is gently escaping from it.

You can also simply stuff the tent

into its bag and pack away the poles

and pegs bags by themselves.

If the outer tent is wet detach the

inner from it before taking down the

tent. Otherwise inner and outer can

remain linked and everything can be

packed together.

Drying and caring for your tent

It is important that one does not store a tent without drying it first except for a short

period (during a trip). After use it should be hung in a dry and well-vented spot,

preferably with the poles in place so that the fabrics are kept apart.

Before you pack the tent it should be shaken so that all dirt comes out. Stains

should be cleaned with luke warm water. Check it for damage and repair when

necessary.

Clean and replace possibly lost ground pegs. Check the poles for potential damage.

If the tent needs cleaning use only luke warm water.

Check the zippers and brush these with a small stiff brush when you have used the

tent in a sandy or dusty environment. If zippers are not kept clean their life

expectancy will decrease!

When your tent is dry and checked pack it into its stuffbag. Provided there is room

in your household you could hang the tent in a dry and cool place instead of packing

it in its bag.

Avoid pitching your tent unnecessarily in direct sunlight since UV-light damages all

fabrics. Pitching it in the sun during a trip is nothing to worry about, but do not leave

it in the sun for weeks in your garden.

Poles and pegs should not be packed right on the inside of the stuffbag but rolled

up inside the tent before it is being placed into its bag. Otherwise you risk damaging

the stuff bag.

Use of inner or outer separately

It is easy to use the inner tent separately. All

you need are six pole holders to attach to the

inner tent.

Thread the poles through the elastic loops and

place the ends of the pole into the pole

holders.

The tension of the poles spreads the inner

tent.

Tie lines to the end poles to pull the inner tent apart by pegging down the lines.

Also the outer tent can be used by itself. With the inner taken out the shape of the

tent is retained with the lines

on the ground.

Pitch the outer tent by itself

as with the complete tent.

If the outer tent is used by itself

there is more room than for the

amount of people for which the

tent is recommended. Use a

foorprint to create a pleasant

environment and protect

yourself from moisture in the

ground.

Accessories

A footprint protecting you and the inner tent from dirt, sharp objects and moisture (a

covered vestibule keeps condensation to a minimum).

Pegs for snow and sand. These are a must when pitching the tent in snow and

loose sand!

Ground pegs for loose ground. These are wider than our standard pegs and hold

better in loose ground.

XP-stuffbags in extra strong nylon. These heavy duty bags come in various sizes

for different tents, for different ground pegs and also the poles. They provide

protection during transport and keep ground pegs with rough edges from damaging

your equipment. For transport of snow pegs they are indispensable!

Sök upp en plats som är jämn och fri från vassa föremål.

Rensa undan sådant som kan skada tältet.

Finn en plats som är skyddad från vind. Undvik helst att sätta upp tältet helt nära

vattendrag, vilket kan ge mer kondens. Undvik också svackor i marken där gärna

fukt och regnvatten samlas.

Förberedelse av upp-

sättning

Det är lämpligt att

börja med att fästa

tältets ena absid mot

vinden.

Se till att alla stång-

delar bottnar ordentligt

i hylsorna vid varje

skarv.

Man kan exempelvis knyta fast ventilens staglina i ryggsäcken, eller annat som

förhindrar att tältet riskerar att blåsa bort. Då är tältet säkrat medan stängerna

plockas fram och görs i ordning.

Svenska

Stången skjuts in till dess det börjar

bli motstånd (ca 1 meter in i kana-

len). Drag då istället kanaltyget på

stången, till dess den bottnar i den

kraftiga kanalavslutningen.

Se till att stången inte böjs innan den

bottnar i kanalavslutningen.

Fatta tag i tältet vid stångåtdragaren

(t ex i pinnfästet), och skjut in

stången i dess fulla längd, så den

får sin böjda form!
