Using your Blacktail 2 tent is easy. First, find a flat spot on the ground, clear away any sharp rocks or sticks. Unpack the tent and lay it out. Attach the poles to the tent according to the color - coded guides. Then, stake down the corners and guy lines for stability. When it's time to go, carefully fold the tent and put it back in the storage bag. Remember, this tent is designed for backcountry and front country use, but avoid setting it up in extreme weather like heavy storms. After each use, let the tent dry completely before packing it away to prevent mold and mildew. If there are any stains, use a mild soap and water to clean the tent gently.
