HiLight pitch
By Shawn K.
Ranked #53 - 3-Season Tents
August 10, 2011
Not my video, and it's done with the older model, but the new, green tent will pitch the same way. This demonstrates a more traditional, on-the-ground pitch, but I prefer inserting the poles while standing. Final adjustment of the Velcro pole tabs can be done after staking the body, but before staking the guy lines. I secure the lower Velcro tabs while inserting the poles to help keep the poles in the snap pockets. Thanks to sierra14ers for the video.
