L.L.Bean Backcountry Quick Start Manual

Follow these steps to set up your tent: 1. Unroll the tent and separate the components. Spread out the tent body with the floor facing the ground. Assemble the tent poles. Lay the gold poles across the tent. (See Figure 1.) Insert the end tips into the grommets on the tent’s gold stake-out loops. The poles will arch. 2. Stand up the poles and clip the gated carabiner in the peak of the roof cloth around the two poles. Using one of the graphite arched poles, insert the end tip into a grommet on the grey stake-out loop closest to the rear of the tent. Walk the pole around the front of the tent and insert the opposite end into the grey stake- out loop closest to the rear of the tent. Repeat this step with the remaining graphite pole, wrapping it around the rear of the tent. Note that the poles crisscross. (See Figure 2.) 3. Attach all remaining plastic clips and gated carabiners to the tent poles, making sure to capture both poles with the carabiners. (See Figure 3.)
