Using your Big Agnes Red Copper Spur HV3 Expedition Tent is a breeze. First, find a flat and dry spot for pitching. Unpack the tent and lay it out, then attach the pre - cut Dyneema guy lines and tensioners to the fly. Connect the fly to the pole structure using the Velcro tabs. This will help get the perfect pitch and add extra stability. Next, set up the poles and secure the tent to the ground.
When it comes to the doors, you can choose the mesh option for ventilation or zip up the nylon layer for complete closure. The dual - zipper door makes entry easy, and you can use just one zipper for quick access. The Quick Stash door keeper on the tent body door is handy for stowing the unzipped door.
For high - altitude camping, this tent is a great choice as the durable polyester high tenacity rip - stop material can handle different temperatures and moisture. The large closable ceiling window/vent can be used for ventilation or as extra storage space. And don't forget to use the media pockets above the sleeping area to keep your earbud cords organized.
When it comes to maintenance, after each use, make sure to clean the tent and dry it thoroughly before packing it away. This will prevent mold and mildew. Also, check the poles, guy lines, and zippers regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you're not using the tent for a long time, store it in a cool and dry place. And always be careful when using the tent in extremely windy conditions and use the interior guy loops to brace it properly.
