TIPS AND TRICKS
Before leaving on your next adventure, check that your tarp is complete and
free of damage. To secure the pegs in loose earth, sand or snow, wrap the tarp
cord around the center of the peg and bury it horizontally. You can also use
the packsack filled with sand or snow, or use the Exped Snow and Sand Achors
available separately. Never light a stove in a tarp as it is a fire hazard.
The seams of a silicone coated tarp fly cannot be factory seam taped. For
water resistance a special cotton wrap polyester core thead is used. This
thread expands when wet, sealing the stitch holes. Should this not be enough,
a special silicone seam sealer can be applied (e.g. Seamgrip SIL by McNett). A
sandy or dirty tarp is best sprayed down with a water hose and a sponge. Do
not machine wash. Dry and air your tarp thoroughly prior to storage. This
process may take a couple of days. Store the tarp in a dry area away from
direct sunlight.

AUFBAU
1 Place the windward side facing the wind.
2 Secure the narrow side with two pegs.
3 The stuffsack double as anchor pocket for a central support. Supports must have rounded edges to prevent damage to the fabric. Cover sharp edges with soft materials.
4 Tie a guyline to the central loop of the opposite narrow end, attach a trekking pole or similar support to the guyline and tension (creates the door of tent).
5 Stake down the front corners
6 Adjust concealed rubber cord in the seams sorrounding the tarp to tension the tarp sides as required.
.SETUP OPTIONS
Variation of the Wedge-A frame tent Instead of staking down the corners, stake
down the two central loops. Use a shorter support in the stuffsack and
shortern the front pole. This creates a lower structure that offers less
resitance to wind.
A-Frame
Tie cord between two trees, slip the tarp over the cord and anchor the corners
with pegs or guylines. Depending on the height of the cord the sides will
reach the ground or a gap to the ground will remain.
