Using the Big Agnes Red Copper Spur HV2 Expedition Tent is a breeze. First, find a flat and dry spot for pitching. The tent comes with pre - cut Dyneema guy lines and tensioners on the fly, so it's almost ready to go. Connect the fly to the pole structure using the Velcro tabs for a perfect pitch. You can use the dual - zipper doors for easy entry, and if you just need to quickly grab something, use only one zipper. When it's time to close up, you have the option to use the nylon zip - up layer for complete closure or leave it as mesh for ventilation.
When it comes to maintenance, always make sure the tent is dry before packing it up. This helps prevent mold and mildew. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it down with a mild soap and water solution. During extremely windy conditions, use the interior guy loops to really brace the tent. Also, be careful when handling the tent in high - altitude areas as the fabric is designed for those conditions but still needs proper care. The tent is built to last, but following these simple steps will keep it in great shape for many camping trips to come.
