Using your Big Agnes Blacktail 2 Hotel Tent is a breeze. First, find a flat area on the ground. Unpack the tent and lay out the footprint if you have one. Then, assemble the poles according to the simple symmetrical structure and attach them to the tent. Once the frame is up, stake down the corners and the vestibule for stability. The double doors allow easy access. You can use the side - entry vestibule to store your outdoor gear or your pet. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, make sure to dry the tent thoroughly before packing it away. This helps prevent mold and mildew. Check the poles and stakes regularly for any signs of damage. If there are any small holes in the tent, you can patch them up with a repair kit. Also, store the tent in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition for your next adventure.
