ASSEMBLE A TENT (TENT) WITH WIND

This topic is very important anywhere, but especially in the Patagonia Argentina. We will make some recommendations on the Web, such as that published by: XplorandoGuatemala in www.xplorandoguatemala.com / ... / how-arm-and-use-correctly-the-tent-o-shop-of-campana.htm -, when he says: "How to assemble and properly use the tent or tent.
The tent is very simple: the weapons and sleep inside, right? no. In our travels we have seen everything needed to clarify several points to rest well on the mountain. You may be surprised to know that incorrectly assemble your tent is why many cold nights (although it is tightly shut). The tent protects you from cold, wind and rain in your mountain trips. Camping seems very simple but we must build and use your tent. Remember that even weigh very necessary because the quality of your sleep inside the tent determines how much energy you get back. Ya Do not be cold. Where to set up the tent. It is the first point. Choose a flat and sheltered from the wind. Throw a little dirt in the air and see the wind direction. Do not place the door directly into the wind or you try to inflate the tent and tearing up the ground. The tent should efficiently break the wind and having the doors on the sides. Keep in mind the wind. Do not rely entirely on the wind direction because it can change day and night. Hopes that usually changes direction and no direction (north to south is converted from south to north, for example). If the wind is too strong might be better to place it with its corners aligned in rhomboid form (most are square or igloo tents) and wind entering the corners circulate until the end without inflated. This depends on the model of your tent. Procura is a flat and clean before putting it together. A bit of grass can be a good mattress. Remove the rocks of the place not to bother your back ... Anchor your tent. All tents come with parts that are buried to fix the floor. Ténsala well and attach it to not lift the wind. Sometimes if the wind is very strong as deformed or be in danger of being broken rods, for this introduces the packs immediately and place them in corners where the wind whips over. You'll be amazed of the support you give your backpacks. Weapon immediately closes the tent, clean and dust off your backpacks and enter it inside. He then closes immediately and hold the tent closed. Thereby avoid the entry of insects. If it is hot out that the whole tent has two skins on the doors, a screen that prevents insects but allows the passage of air and the other does not allow smooth entry of air. Always avoid insects entering. Placement of the sheet. Here is where most make the biggest mistake ... leave the awning attached to the tent. You see, the most common carp has two parts, the main body and a canopy. Do the tent and ténsala, secure it well. Then place the sheet and ténsalo so that scourge will not budge. The sheet is the key against the cold and rain. Should tighten and be separated from the tent. This reduces the maximum condensation ... "And www.clubdeexploradores.org / Tents carpas.htm -"... ... Stay away from rivers, swamps and areas of heavy weed because you have plenty of mosquitoes and the camp will totally disgusting. It is preferable to a land with vegetation paco, pear not so full of rocks.
Having chosen the site carefully clean it, remove all the stones of the place. A small stone look like a big rock if you try to sleep on it.

The tent should be oriented according to sun, wind and slope. Preferably should be oriented toward the spot where the sun rises tomorrow, so you can warm up the tent quickly and help disperse the "humours" of 8 people sleeping together. But always the tent should be set aside or better yet, against preventing the wind blowing directly at the door, bothering, dragging dust and even rain. Remember: NEVER ARMES a tent facing the wind. On the slope, it is best that the east door looking "downhill" in order to balance the three conditions this is the least important factor and the wind is the most decisive.


How to Assemble a tent?
For this section I shall take as example the assembly of a tent as a Canadian. If you follow these rules you can build any type of tent and you can just ignore the rules do not apply: for example in the Igloo and Explorer models there are no winds, but all other rules apply.
First desenrróllala. If the tent is folded properly will first thing is the door. Orientale as sun, wind and slope. Extend it fully and check that doors and windows are closed and fastened properly.
Grave stakes of the front corners which are on the side of the door, to stay focused and then one by one back corner. Stretch the tent to nail each stake.
Once the ground stakes placed going into the corners you nail the rest of the stakes. For a more extensive detail about the stakes staking see.
As the stakes remember that it is best to nail at an angle of 45 degrees to the floor (see section stakes).
The studs are often the problem. There are models with many studs: to unwind the mystery roll it all on the floor and group them by type, you have to grope, first with the length of the tent. Now if: the studs up until the carp start to take shape.
Once the tent and the winds stretch (tensile cords) winds should go towards the center of the tent, along the roof line, if you're assembling the tent too soft terrain (sand beach) you have to use some tricks (see section stakes). DO NOT LEAVE not a wrinkle or rain water will seep through the folds.
Now if, if your tent is on top, put it, it helps that your tent is not very hot in the sun and avoid the rain with great effectiveness.

Once armed the tent, and yes you are in a place of rain, dig a trench around 20 inches deep and 20 wide, so that is just below the fall of carp and water run off by this and if you straighten the ditch a little more, this extension will carry the water downhill. Put them bring out the lumps on the side of the trench, so you can fill it again when you retire from the camp.

To disarm the tent performs the reverse process: first remove the winds (if any) and lower studs. Close the doors and windows if you have not already done and remove the cuttings from the floor. Now fold the tent and roll up so that the door be the first to leave when opened (which helps to orient the arm it), keep the studs and the stakes in his bag and pack everything.
Today we hardly used, but if in case you have a tent of canvas or other cloth, wet look that is not saving it (if so and still needed to keep it, as soon Armal able to dry) also removed all leaf insect or twig that are, believe it or not everything has some moisture and let go slowly rotting carp there and making a hole.
Tents models
Several models of tents, the Canadian rate, which we have used to describe the assembly of tents, very useful for long camps that prefer to see everything in place gives us comfort, there are also similar tents that are armed with as many of studs, so they no longer use "winds" or "tensor" but weigh more and are harder to assemble.
There are similar models in
Canada that may have great size: usually for military use or to hospital.
In the smaller models is the model that is simple traveler gable roof, also known as "trap" because of its size, usually for one or two people.
Lately tent designs tend to adopt a hemispherical (remembering to buildings and igloos TRULYS called Eskimos), thus allowing better conserve the heat. Igloo tents well born, being of these that retain heat better the type GEODETIC (hexagonal basis), with over complete roof and apse.
The Apse is a continuation in the envelope that serves as a lobby ceiling of the tent, and upon entering the tent itself, you do not already wet clothes for example, without shoes and also creates extra insulation from the external environment, very useful in extreme climates.
On the other hand in areas of strong winds tents used tubular, elongated and extension type apse at each end of the half-cylinder, in order to be more aerodynamic ... "The winds should be nailed, staked, as close as possible to body of the tent or tent to keep "sailing give" to it and fly out. In many campsites along and down the country I could see, the winds that are tied to trees and that is very bad, "to sail" and because it can cause accidents. All this without considering the damage they can do to the plant.
