Using the MSR Thru - Hiker 100 Wing is easy. You can set it up using trekking or accessory poles, or hang it from a tree. For a fastpacking trip, use it by itself. If you're on a long - haul journey, pair it with the Thru - Hiker Mesh House 2 or 3 for better protection. When setting up, make sure the poles are firmly in place to keep the shelter stable. Also, check that the waterproof coating is intact before each use. After your trip, clean the shelter with mild soap and water, and let it dry completely before packing it away. Store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition.
