UnpackingEnsure that when you pull out all the items out of the tent bag that you neatly place them separately so that you don't confused and that everything is laid out in front of you, not on top of each other. Depending on what type of tent you are using you should have:

a. Inner tent

b. Outer tent

c. Tent poles

d. Tent pegs

c. Hammer (or hard rock for hammering in the pegs)

Setting up the Inner tentPlace the four corners (depending on your tent) down and spread them out so that the base part of the tent is on the ground. Peg out each corner of your tent, by pegging each opposite corner, then finishing on the other corners and if there are any central peg points as well. PolesSnap together your poles and ensure that you know which poles are for each section of your tent. Carefully run your poles through your inner tent and snap through the pole eyelet in each corner. Your tent should be taking shape now. Outer TentPull the outer tent over the inner tent and clip the outer tent to the tent poles. Then pull out the outer tent and peg out as far as possible to ensure there is distance between the inner and outer tent, to ensure that any water doesn't make your inner wet. Again start at one corner and then peg out the opposite corner then the other central points. Also there may be other guy ropes on the side of your tent that you can peg down or tie to near by trees to make you nights sleep a little more stable. Tent ZippersMake sure once you have set up your tent and place all your items inside that you zip up all entrance and exit points so that no insects get in to make for a relaxed mozzie free night.

first take the first tube and hook it up to flank A. then quietly approach the tent from behind and pounce on it like a tiger. In order to summon the woodland creatures, you must dance to the wakaloolie moonlight calls of the cayote. to perform this dance you must eat 3 bugs for passion and pluck a feather from a bald eagles nest. next hook tube 2 to flank a. then you perform the dance which is a combination of Indian tribal dances and jazz. after your dance, hook the tube 3 to pholotem 2 and your tent is ready to go! enjoy your camping trip!

It depends on how in depth you want to get. When I was a small boy I made a tent out of an old sheet (my mom would have gone nuts if I used a good one) and a piece of string tied between two trees. I tied the string between two trees and draped the sheet over it. Then I staked out the four corners to pull it tight. It may sound simple but 30 years later I was hunting on Kodiak Island, Alaska and I tied a piece of small line between two bushes and stretched a space blanket (small tarp) over it. I staked the four corners out and I had a tent. No one else in the hunting party had done this because there was no threat of rain. Overnight there had been a heavy dew and I was the only one with a dry sleeping bag. This type of tent will not keep out the bugs but it may keep you dry and that can mean all the difference in a survival situation. When you do this, make sure that you are on high and dry ground. I have also awakened to find myself in a puddle and in a small stream when it did rain. The rain didn't get me wet from falling on me but it did when it ran off under my sleeping bag.

It can be done single handed but not easy and almost impossible if windy. No trouble at all for two people and can be done inside 30 minutes....

Assemble the frame - easy as Coleman colour codes the bars.

Hang the inner onto the frame using the inner's integral clips and peg it out.

Pull the flysheet over the frame - with all zips closed to ensure even tension and peg it out. Secure with Guy ropes. That's it.

You should find rings at the end of the tent, and put the poles in there (Steaks are not needed)

Using maps of your area. It can also depend on the size of your tent so a medium size tent thats portable but still comfortable. I have a link to the one I use in my bio
