Big Sky International 1P Plus Tent Chinook
Warning The silicone coated fabric that we use is very popular for
lightweight products, but it will burn so keep it away from heat or open
flame.
We have enclosed a fabric swatch for a test burn… after burning a fabric
swatch you need to decide to either to accept the risk of using the product
with this fabric or return the unused product for full refund.
Setup instructions
-
If the inner is not attached: (If the inner is attached, proceed to step 2.)
First attach either an inner or the “X-cord” to the outer. The outer has color coded straps that match the tent inner or “X-cord”, i.e. red to red:
a. To attach an inner 1) clip “red” S-hook to “red” ring at narrow end. 2) clip “black” S-hook to “black” ring at wide end, 3) buckle top “reflective” buckle to peak, and 4) buckle remaining buckles between these.
b. To attach the “X-cord” 1) clip “red” S-hook to “red” ring at narrow end, 2) clip “black”
S- hook to “black” ring at wide end.
c. For the 1Plus version, the sides of the inner can be attached to create more interior room or one or both sides can be left unattached to create vestibules. -
Clear the ground of any sharp objects that will damage the tent floor. Lay out the tent on the ground. (Option: stake/peg corners, staking diagonally works best rather than staking/pegging one end then staking the other end; stake so poles are in straight line – staking the outer down first before attaching the poles is recommended in windy conditions.)
-
“Hoop” each the two (2) long poles and insert ends into grommets on each corner
-
Lift and attach the double pole clips where the two long poles cross, do this BEFORE attaching the pole clips… then attach each pole clip to the poles.
-
Insert the 3rd (shorter) pole between the double pole clips UNDER the two longer poles. Insert each end of the pole into the webbing grommet. Attach remaining pole clips to pole.
-
3rd pole cord/webbing S-hooks are connected to the ring on each webbing grommet at the end of 3rd pole.
TIP : Leave outer and inner attached for quick setup and take down -
Staking/pegging the tent – one stake/peg on each vestibule, and one stake/peg for each tent corner, one stake/peg for head end, and one stake/peg for the foot end. In windy conditions, a person may want to use six (6) or even twelve (12) of the optional reflective guy out loops. We suggest staking/pegging the guy lines at 45 degree angles to the tent. See guy line diagram on the next page.
Packing instructions
- Reverse the above instructions
- We suggest rolling rather that stuffing. It results in a smaller volume. We also suggest rolling the poles and stakes up in the tent or carrying them separately.
Caution : Trying to “stuff” the poles and/or the stakes may result in tearing the mesh or tent.
Notes
- Make sure the pole joints are fully seated, especially on the ultra light weight DuraLite™ composite or carbon fiber poles to prevent the joints from splitting.
- Please careful turning the tent upside down to shake out the dirt, excessive stress on the ultra light weight DuraLite™ composite or carbon fiber poles can cause them to fail.
- We suggest taking the poles apart at the center pole joint section first, then folding the pole in half, next take apart and fold the remaining sections. (This creates a more uniform tension on the shock cord.)
