WAR NI NG !! ! PL EA SE R EA D!

FIRE: All Mountain Hardwear tents are made of ﬂame-retardant

materials, but most nylon and polyester fabric will melt or burn

when exposed to high heat or an open ﬂame. Never place your

stove, hibachi, campﬁre, or other heat source in or near your

tent. We recommend that you always position your tent upwind

of a camp ﬁre. This will reduce the chances of having a ﬂying

ember land on your tent. Never use a candle as a light source

inside your tent.

Do not cook with, light, or refuel a stove (or any other heat

source) inside your tent or in your vestibule! Asphyxiation and

serous injury are possible! Stoves, hibachis, lanterns and heat

ers can malfunction (operator error is also possible) and can

start a ﬁre that will spread too rapidly for occupants to escape a

tent. Using combustible materials and/or petroleum-based fu-

els can increase the carbon dioxide levels within a tent enough

to cause asphyxiation to the occupants.

Maintain adequate ventilation inside your tent at all times.

Never seal your tent up completely. Always leave a small part

of a window open. Never allow your tent to become buried in

snow past the bottom of the ﬂysheet since this may allow the

carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide levels inside the tent to

become dangerously high.

Campsite selection: Consider the possibility of falling rocks or

tree limbs, lightning strikes, ﬂash ﬂoods, avalanches, strong

winds, and other objective hazards when choosing a campsite.

Properly stake and guy out your tent at all times. Lightweight

tents are very strong for their weight and can withstand severe

weather when properly staked out and guyed out. Always use

the proper tent stakes to anchor your tent and guy-lines to the

ground. Use the internal guy system (included with all four-

season tents) during severe weather. You may wish to purchase

more and/or different tent stakes and nylon cord, depending

on when and where you intend to use your tent. It is impossible

for Mountain Hardwear to include anchors for every possible

environmental condition.
