(9) The tent can also be used for the following:
C A U T I O N
Respect the tent. Use only for basic purpose. Do not over Strain.
Remember, immediate rescue is not guaranteed.
(a) Emergency Litter - zip and connect the hook and pile tape. Use lines to run through the
tie down loops to secure two poles on two cross members together. Remove all sharp
projections from the poles to avoid tearing the fabric.
(b) Lean To - the tie down loops make anchor points when positioned near tall saplings.
This can also be an excellent wind break. Tent poles can help tension the fabric.
(c) Vee Top - tie a line from two trees at the desired height. Lay the tent over the line and
anchor the sides with the tent pegs or brush. Tent pole section can be used if vertical ties are
not available. This can also be used as a sun shade.
