C Bar 3 Footprint

C BAR SET UP INSTRUCTIONS:


1. Remove contents from stuff sack. Spread out the tent body.
2. Stake out the four corners of the tent body.
3. Assemble the pole frame with two hubs and a attached crossover pole. To ensure each pole section is fully seated, insert each pole section into the next by hand instead of allowing the shock cord to snap them together.
4. Position the assembled pole frame on top of the tent body. Match the colors of the pole ends with the matching colors of the webbing on the tent body.
5. Insert the pole tips into the grommets at the four corners of the tent.
6. Attach all the plastic clips on the tent body to the pole frame.
7. Clip the ends of the attached crossover pole into the clear plastic “Ball CAP” clips located on each side of the tent body.
8. Drape the rainfly over the tent so that the door on the fly lines up with the door on the body.
9. Insert the tips of the crossover pole into the small pockets located on the underside of the fly.
10. Attach all Velcro® tabs on the underside of the fly to the corresponding pole sections for best stability.
11. Make sure the webbing at the corners of the rainfly is completely slackened. Attach the buckles on the rainfly to those on the tent body.
12. Tighten the webbing on each buckle as needed to keep the rainfly taut.
13. Stake out the vestibule then stake out all remaining guylines.

Separate 6” length pole segment included for emergency field repair. Slide repair pole over the break to act as a splint.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP


Our tents are easy to set up, but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.
We recommend staking out all corners, vestibules and guylines to increase space and ventilation. Securely staking out your tent and all guylines is crucial to maintaining the structural integrity of your tent.
Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.
Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.
Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
