- Select a site with two anchor points less than 9 feet apart and clear the ground of sharp debris.
- Thread the 3-meter rope through the tube tent and tie it tautly between the anchors to create a ridgeline at waist height.
- Spread the base of the tent and secure the edges firmly with rocks, soil, or gear to block drafts.
- Insulate the interior floor with a pack or debris and occupy the shelter, positioning heads toward the downwind opening.
- CRITICAL: Keep one end partially open at all times for ventilation to prevent suffocation.
- CRITICAL: Prohibit all open flames (lighters, candles, stoves) inside or near the shelter due to extreme fire risk.
