lowing the tent seams between points A and C, and B and D
attach all of the Swift Clips
™
to their corresponding tent poles
(Swift Clips are the Clips without cords). Passing the arched
pole over the two long poles, place its ends into the grommets
at points F and G. Once the arched pole is in place; hook the
Clip-Locs at points H and I, with the open gate of the clip
pointing towards the rear of the tent. Now attach the cord at
points H, I & E, by wrapping the cord in the direction cross-
ing the open gate of the Clip-Loc. Wrap the cord around the
pole intersection two to four times, depending on desired firm-
ness, then slide the cord into the groove on the back-side of
the clip to hold it taut (Figure 3).
Fly Sheet
Drape the fly over the tent making sure the zippered, vestibule
end is over the door (Figure 4). At points H, I, J, K, L and M
on the inside of the tent fly you will find 1" side release buck-
les. Attach these points to their mates on the tent body. At
point N on the fly you will find a Velcro
®
attachment. Attach
this to the apex of the arched pole. Now at points A, B, C, D,
G and F you will find 1" LadderLocs with adjustable grommet-
ed webbing straps. Slip the grommets under the pole ends at
these points (Figure 5). Now working your way around the
tent a few times, tighten these adjustable straps until you have
achieved the desired tautness. Point O may be staked out to
increase ventilation. Lastly, stake out points Q and R to form
your vestibule.
First Pitch
In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we
suggest that you “test pitch” it before embarking on a
wilderness trip.
Select a Site
Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind in
order to ensure sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris such as
sharp stones and sticks which might abrade or puncture the tent
floor. Choose an area that will drain well when it rains.
Unfurl the Tent and Assemble the Poles
Unfurl the tent and lay the tent floor flat on the ground with
the door unzipped. Carefully unfold the shock corded pole sec-
tions and allow them to slide together. Do not allow the poles
to snap together: This can lead to serious pole damage. Make
certain that the insert of each pole section is fully inserted into
the next pole section (Figure 1). You will have two straight
poles of equal length and one arched pole.
Stake out the Tent Floor
The Omega is a completely freestanding tent. It is not necessary
to stake down the tent floor in order to pitch it. However, we
recommend that the tent be staked down at points A, B, C and
D for stability, especially in high winds (Figure 2).
Erect the Tent
Insert the metal tips of one of the two long poles into the
grommets at points A and C (Figure 2). Insert the metal tips of
the other long pole into the grommets at points B and D. Next
hook the Clip-Loc
™
at point E (do not attach the cord yet). Fol-
