A fishing tent is an indispensable item during overnight hikes and winter fishing. Such tents have many advantages, but the main drawback, perhaps, is one - too clever folding mechanism. Having disassembled and set up the tent, you can spend a long time assembling it. Knowing the small details of the whole process, it will cease to be a problem for you, and you can fold the tent without any effort in a short time.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove any unnecessary items from the tent. Check that the tent is empty. Gently roll it flat, set it upright and fix it with your feet, stepping on the very bottom.
Step 2
Grasp the top with both hands and begin to gradually twist 180 degrees. For convenience, grab the top of the tent and continue twisting another 180 degrees. Bend the ring that you get during the process slightly to the floor.
Step 3
Fold the ring together with the second one formed at the bottom. It twisted on its own the moment you bent the wire of the frame at the top. Secure both rings and pack the tent in the cover provided for it.
Step 4
There is another, easier and faster way to fold the tent. Fold it in half, grab the edges of the tent with both hands, stepping back about 50 centimeters. Place the top of the tent against your stomach or slightly lower, whichever is more comfortable for you. Concentrate, and with a sharp movement, bring your hands up. Pack the tent in a cover and you can take it on the road.
Step 5
Some tent models need to be folded as follows. Fold the tent in the middle, and then fold it in half again. Lock the four arcs together and twist two or three times. Wrap the rope around the tent to keep it from falling apart.
Step 6
Velcro tents have a slightly different mechanism. Close all locks and Velcro first. Press one of the corners inward, thereby getting something that looks like a book crust of two halves. Expand it so that the corner is facing you. Clamp the lower ribs of the tent firmly with your feet, and begin to tilt the upper corner down and slightly forward.
