S t o r m p r o o f i n g Y o u r Tent
Even though most of our tents are free-standing, we rec-
ommend you always stake out your tent to prevent it from
flying away in a gust of wind. Secure all stake-out webbing
loops located on the perimeter of the tent. Attach all exter-
nal guy lines to tent pole intersections (
F i g u r e 1 0).
Use your internal guy system for extreme weather condi-
tions and high winds. The internal guy system consists of
pieces of cord (96” long) and line tighteners (
F i g u r e 1 1).
As the wind increases, increase the tension by tightening
the line tighteners.

7. There are three clear UVX widows on the Satellite tent
body. The Satellite comes with three window covers
which can be attached either inside the tent (as shown
in
F i g u r e 8) or outside the tent over the windows.
Place the widow covers on the outside to protect the
windows from direct sun. Place them on the inside of
the tent if you wish to use the storage pockets sewn to
the window covers.

7. The Satellite is a floorless tent, designed for use in
snow and rugged terrain. An optional floor/footprint
can be purchased to create a removable waterproof
floor. Attach this floor by clipping the snap hooks
which are sewn to it to the O-rings located on the
inside tent perimeter (
F i g u r e 9) .
