(h) Using the double ended tie down loops (View I), stake each comer and centerline (seam)
down with one peg positioned at about 30° degree angle. Three tent pegs will be required for
each end.
NOTE
During cold weather operation use the 12" tent pin.
(4) To use the tent as a sleeping cover (See Figure 2-8), proceed as follows:
(a) Remove the tent from the carrying bag, shake the tent, and spread the tent on the ground
with the vents facing upward.
(b) Tie off the hood opening for storm proofing, by pulling the hood draw cord in tightly. Fold
the hood opening down and wrap the cord tightly around the fold. Secure with an easy to untie
knot.
(c) To use the tent as a simple sleeping cover, zipper the foot and head end closed. Unzip the
tent side and head end about half way. After you are in the sleeping cover, the side sipper and
head end may be closed as needed, being sure to leave an opening for ventilation. This will
provide limited protection from the elements.
(d) To use the tent as a sleeping bag cover, unzip the tent side and ends, place sleeping bag in
the tent. Close the zippers at foot end and side half way. After you are in the sleeping bag, the
side and head end zippers may be closed as needed, being sure to leave an opening for
ventilation.

NOTE
There are also four optional multi-purpose liners that can
be used as a sleeping bag in temperature ranges plus 40° F
to minus 20°F, or worn as a liner when the tent is used as a coat.
