usE TIPs: All tents require staking; unsecured tents are susceptible to
wind damage. In some conditions, additional stakes and cord may
be required. Readjustment of stakes and rainfly may be necessary
to keep tent tight and weatherproof. A footprint can help keep your
tent clean, dry and protected from abrasion. Following these tips will
prolong the life of your tent. MSR
