Selecting A Site

Choose a site that is level, clear of sharp stones and other

debris, is sheltered from the wind, and will drain when

it rains. You may wish to face your tent south or east to

catch the morning sun. Do not pitch your tent under

trees, in water drainages, or on ridge tops.

Even though most of our tents are free-standing, we rec

ommend that you always stake out your tent to prevent

it from ﬂying away in a gust of wind. Secure all pull-outs

(webbing loops located on the perimeter of the tent).

Cinch all webbing adjustments tightly.

Footprints

We recommend using a Mountain Hardwear footprint

to protect the ﬂoor of your tent. Footprints are designed

to ﬁt precisely under each tent style and shield the tent

ﬂoor from sharp twigs, rocks, tree sap, and the like. Foot

prints can be purchased at your Mountain Hardwear

dealer.
