Write your question here...I just purchased the SL1 and am setting it up... questions:
what are the exterior loops on either side, about halfway down the tent at the top of the bathtub rim to be used for.
on the fly, there are two guy lines near the door, and then half way back another two about halfway up the side of the fly... figure those are to guy out the fly...
so what is the loop and guy line and 6" ribbon with a clip on the botoom of the fly for? does the clip attach to the loop on the tent/top of bathtub and then guy out to the same stake as the guy halfway up the tent?
and lastly, I am unfamiliar with the function of the little plastic pieces attached to the fly guy lines...
I am excited about lightening my load for solo trips! Have been using an REI quarter dome UL (5 pounds) - nice for 2, but a load on these old knees!

Hi Janna, To answer some of your questions. 1) Those connect to the fly with a clip, so when you stake out the fly, it pulls the tent body outward also and keeps the fly off the tent body, preventing condensation issues. 2) yes, and related to the loops on the tent body on the first one 3) Yes, related to 1 and 2 like you said. 4) Those plastic pieces are to tension the guy lines. There are three holes and two loops created by the plastic piece. Take the last loop, pull some slack, wrap the loop around the stake, and pull slack through the tight loop to the one around the stake, and it should tension up. A super easy and easy to adjust tension mechanism. Hope this helped. Sounded like you were on the right track. Trust your instinct! Steve
