Bushwalk Australia

So how many of us follow the instructions that come with almost all tents?

Who sets them up and hoses them down to set the fabric before taking them away and using them?
We have a Rays Geodome here and because we need it to last I will be setting it up soon and I will spray it with the hose and tension it properly
Also I will be giving it the full DWR treatment with Nikwax SolarProof because cheap tents don't usually have the DWR treatment and I think it helps a lot.
In the same vein how many of you go around a new tents and add beckets and other wear reducing aids on the peg-out points?

I think that many enjoy the thrill of setting their tent up , without instructions , for the first time in the bush.
The worse the weather the more they seem to like it.

No matter how long it takes ROFL

It's an IQ test and a test on the tent design, how intuitive it is. So all good. LOL

I do, but I'm a bit of a fanatic about looking after my gear. I find the first set-up a good time to figure out possible weak points, settup troubles and stuff like that.

speaking of which, I have a tent that is going to need some sunblock in the near future.
