CHOOSING YOUR SITE:
• Pitch your tent on level ground, in an area
protected from wind and not in a hollow, where
water can quickly collect when it rains.
• Take into account wind direction when pitching
your tent – face the entrance downwind and
sheltered if possible.
• Take into account that camping near water sources
could lead to condensation build up on your tent
and belongings.
• Don't pitch your tent in dangerous places. This
includes gorges, underneath cliffs or rocks, near
glacier-fed rivers, in forests or near fi re spots.
• Remove all pointy or sharp objects that could
damage the tent fl oor.
• Use a tent footprint or groundsheet to protect the
tent fl oor.
• If you are planning on camping in one spot for a
longer period of time, make sure to pitch in shade
or half shade – UV radiation accelerates the aging
process of tent fabrics and coatings.
• When camping on snow and in freezing conditions,
dig a pit in front of the tent door or in the vestibule
in which cold air can collect.
• Avoid snow build up by regularly clearing snow off
the surface of the tent.
• Cooking inside your tent should be avoided
whenever possible due to the danger of fi re or
carbon dioxide poisoning. If you need to make an
exception, make sure to ensure suffi cient ventilati-
on and keep the stove as far from the tent walls
as possible. This might mean having to detach the
inner tent and fold it back.
SET UP – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
VAUDE tents are well known for their simple set up.
If any step in the process seems diffi cult, do not use
force; take the time to fi nd out what the problem is.
1. Spread out the tent on the ground. (Inner and
outer tent are delivered attached to each other.)
In windy conditions you should stake out the tent.
Use guy lines to anchor it, for example, to a rock,
backpack, etc.
