Building steps
Choose a campsite:
Choose a flat, dry spot and avoid low-lying areas and areas prone to water accumulation.
Make sure the tent door faces away from the wind.
Cleaning up camp:
Clear the ground of rocks, branches, and other sharp objects to avoid damaging the bottom of your tent.
Laying floor covering:
Before setting up your tent, lay down a moisture-proof ground sheet to protect the bottom of the tent and provide additional protection against moisture.
Tent unfolded:
Take the tent out of the packaging bag, unfold it and lay it flat on the ground cloth.
Install tent poles:
Assemble the tent poles according to the tent structure diagram. Usually tent poles are colored or marked to align.
Thread the tent poles into the tent pole sleeves or secure them to the tent buckles.
Put up the tent:
At the same time, lift one end of the tent pole and fix the other end with the help of a companion to ensure that the tent pole is firmly inserted into the ground.
Adjust each tent pole so that the tent is fully extended and assumes the correct shape.
Fixed tent:
Use ground pegs and ropes to secure the four corners of the tent and other areas that need support.
Make sure the ropes are tight, but not so tight that they damage the tent material.
Adjust the tent:
Check the overall structure of the tent to ensure it is stable and not loose.
Adjust the space inside the tent to ensure comfortable use.
Precautions
weather:
Avoid setting up your tent in severe weather, such as strong winds or heavy rain. If necessary, reinforce the anchorage points of the tent.
Tent material:
Regularly check tent materials for damage, especially tent poles and ropes.
Before long-term use, it is best to conduct a trial installation to ensure that all parts are complete and intact.
Use of ground nails and ropes:
Ground nails should be driven into the ground at approximately a 45-degree angle for maximum stability.
The rope should be kept moderately tensioned to avoid loosening due to wind.
Tent internal management:
Keep the inside of the tent tidy and try not to bring in mud or moisture.
Make sure items in the tent are placed appropriately and avoid sharp objects coming into contact with the surface of the tent.
Safety and fire protection:
Be extremely careful when using an open flame in your tent and maintain good ventilation to ensure safety.
Through the above steps and precautions, you can set up a military tent safely and efficiently to ensure the comfort and safety of life in the wild.
