Tips for Extending the Life of Your Tent
Fabric
Always pack and store your tent dry! Mildew is not only smelly
and bad for the tent materials, it is also unhealthy. Contact Rainy
Pass Repair (see NEMO Repair section) for advice about safely
removing mildew.
“My tent has a mildew smell.”
Damaging tents while shoveling them out on big mountains is a
common problem. Take care when using sharp tools near your
tent! Remember that your tent is your home in the mountains
and it’s made of lightweight fabric. Shovel most of the snow away
and shake the rest off the tent or cover your shovel with a stuff
sack or length of tape to protect the tent fabric from the shovel’s
sharp edges. Small tears can be reinforced with Seamgrip®.
Larger areas can be hand-stitched and sealed with Seamgrip®, or
you can send your tent to Rainy Pass for repair (see NEMO Repair
section).
“I sliced my tent while digging it out during a storm”
1. To take down Tenshi™, first remove all the gear (including the
vestibule, Condensation Curtain™, and RIF) and as much
moisture as possible. Water will add weight to your pack and
can lead to mildew.
2. If the pole wraps are stuck to the poles, it may be necessary to
detach them before removing the poles. Pull the poles straight
out. If the pole sections have frozen together, simply warm them
in your gloved hand for a minute or two and they should
separate easily.
3. With your foot on the accessory pocket of the stuff sack, stuff
the tent and fly into the large mesh pocket.
5. Remember to leave no trace even in winter. Before leaving
your campsite take a thorough look around making sure you
have not left anything behind, out of place, or damaged.
4. Place the poles inside the pole pocket, and roll up the stuff
sack, securing it with the compression straps. The Tenshi™ stuff
sack also works very well as a hanging drying bag when you are
in camp.
Tent Take Down
Storage
Remember to dry your tent completely before storing as
moisture can lead to mildew. Also try to remove as much dirt and
debris from your tent as possible. Avoid storing your tent
compressed or exposed to UV light for long periods.
