Spicer Peak 6 Footprint

SPICER PEAK SET UP INSTRUCTIONS:


1. Remove contents from stuff sacks and spread out the tent body over your desired camp site.
2. Assemble the poles: two longer, main poles and a single, shorter ridge pole.
3. 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. Slide the two longer, main poles through the crossing pole sleeves and hoist the tent by securing the pole tips into the grommets at each webbing corner.
5. Working your way around the perimeter of the tent, connect the tent clips to the poles at each corner.
6. Insert the shorter ridge pole into the ridge pole sleeve and secure pole tips into the clips located above each door.
7. At this point you will have a free-standing structure. Secure all 4 corners by staking them out.
8. Drape the rainfly over the tent body and match the colors of the webbing on the fly with the webbing on the body.
9. Insert the ridge pole tips and clips into the small pockets located on the underside of the rainfly near the tops of the vestibule zippers.
10. Attach all hook and loop tabs on the underside of the fly to the corresponding poles. These are located beneath the guy-out points and should be properly secured to the poles for best structural integrity.
11. Make sure the webbing at each buckle on the fly is completely slackened. Attach the buckles on the fly to those on the tent body, being sure to match the buckle color.
12. Tighten the webbing on each corner buckle as needed to keep the fly taut.
13. Stake out the vestibule doors.
14. Stake out all guy-lines and adjust as needed to take out the remaining slack.
15. Enjoy your Spicer Peak tent!

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


FAST FLY SET UP INSTRUCTIONS:


If you purchase the optional Big Agnes Spicer Peak footprint for your tent, it will enable you to pitch a Fast Fly shelter while leaving the tent body behind. The Fast Fly configuration requires the footprint, tent fly, poles, and stakes.

1. Lay the footprint on the ground and stake out all four webbing corners.
2. Assemble the poles: two longer, main poles and a single, shorter ridge 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.
3. Place the two long poles in an ‘X’ on the ground with the ends near each corner of the footprint. Place the shorter, ridge pole on top of the ‘X’, centered between the same-colored footprint corners.
4. Drape the rainfly over the poles matching the colors of the webbing on the fly with the webbing on the footprint.
5. Attach the long hook and loop strap on the underside of the center of the fly around all three poles.6. Insert the ends of the ridge pole into the small pockets located on the underside of the rainfly near the tops of the vestibule zippers.
7. Hoist the structure by lifting the poles and inserting the tips of the long poles into the grommets at each footprint corner.
8. Attach the hook and loop tabs located beneath the guyout points to the corresponding poles. They should be properly secured to the poles to improve overall structural integrity.
9. Make sure the webbing at each buckle on the fly is completely slackened. Attach the buckles on the fly to those on the footprint, being sure to match the buckle color.
10. Tighten the webbing on each corner buckle as needed to keep the fly taut.
11. Stake out the vestibule doors.
12. Stake out all guy-lines and adjust as needed to take out the remaining slack.
13. Enjoy your Spicer Peak tent!


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.
