Step 1: Prepare the Tent for Closing
Before you start closing your tent, ensure that the tent is clean and dry. This will help prevent any damage or mildew from forming while in storage.
Step 2: Remove the Tent Stakes
Begin by removing all the stakes that are anchoring your tent to the ground. Carefully pull each stake out one by one and set them aside.
Step 3: Unhook the Tent Rainfly
The next step is to unhook the rainfly from the tent. Start by locating the hooks that attach the rainfly to the tent. Gently unhook each one until the rainfly is completely detached.
Step 4: Collapse the Tent Poles
Now it’s time to collapse the tent poles. Locate the pole release mechanisms and press each one to disengage the pole segments. Gradually push the poles together until they are fully collapsed.
Step 5: Fold the Tent
Begin folding the collapsed tent inwards. First, fold one side towards the center, then fold the other side over it. Continue folding until the tent is in a compact rectangular shape.
Step 6: Pack the Tent
Once the tent is folded, place it back into its original carrying bag. Start by inserting one end of the folded tent into the bag, then gradually stuff the rest of the tent until it is fully packed.
Step 7: Secure the Bag
To ensure that the tent remains securely packed, close the bag using the zipper or any fastening mechanism provided. If the bag has additional straps or buckles, make sure to secure them tightly.
