Step 1
Choose a spot to set up your tent. Look for level ground that's
free of large rocks or other debris. Make sure you're safely away from
your campfire. If it's possible, pitch your tent away from your kitchen
area as not to bring animals too close should they be attracted by the
smell of food. Once you've chosen a spot, clear the ground of small
rocks and sticks to give you a comfortable floor to sleep on.
Step 2
Unroll your tent. Put the rainfly and poles aside. Open the tent
body so it lays flat on the site you chose. Orient the door so it faces
in an accessible direction.
Step 3
Take out the tent poles. A basic Hillary tent will use two long
poles for the tent body and one short pole of the rainfly. Assemble the
two long poles and thread them through the pole guides on the tent body,
attaching them to the holes in each tent corner to raise the tent.
Step 4
Open the rainfly. Assemble the shorter pole and guide it through
the top of the rainfly. Place the rainfly on top of the tent and secure
it to the bottom of the tent body with the attached hooks.
Step 5
Stake down your tent. You don't want to be surprised by a storm in
the middle of the night or while you're away from camp. Stake your tent
even if the weather is clear when your arrive. Use a stake at least in
each corner of the tent. Find a rock to hammer them firmly into the
ground.
Are you keeping food inside the tent?
Bears usually will not come near humans unless there is food smell coming from within the tent.
I also camp in the north woods and generally its the coyotes that are daring enough to come into a campsite. Also they use coon dogs for hunting bear which falls in public camp season and they roam about to track bear. My personnal best defense is to keep my chainsaw just inside the door as being a camp host I find myself being alone in site untill my guests arrive. The chain saw noise is a good defense to scare off anything because its very loud .And yes Ive actually had to run it one night in Particular when my site was surrounded by a pack of coyotes and they were right outside. KEEP ALL FOOD AWAY FROM TENT AT ALL TIMES. Raccoons also are very daring and will come on site even when your there if they smell food and are smart enough to open water jugs with their paws the trick to keep them out of your food is to put the coolers under the bench part of the picnic tables so the lids cant be opened.Im a very ex. camper and can give tips all day long
General tent setup instructions:
thread assembled poles through sleeves
connect one end of poles into tent corners
1 by 1 connect the other end of the pole, work front to back and the tent should assemble quite easy.
