A great Tent is the Vermont M. Errected in no time.

Putting it away again is the challenge for me. Anbody have any tips?

I note on the Outwell instructions film, the video is conveniantly cut short at the poiint where the seemingly oversize roll is about to be presented to the bag.

we have the vermont L so i reckon it would be the same as putting away the M although a little bigger.

The way we do ours is to leave the 4 pegs in the ground sheet but not the door then remove the legs and allow the top poles to get rid of the air in the main tent  but dont forget to leave the door open a little.

\we then remove the roof bars then unpeg the 4 corners. We fold the porch up towards the back until we reach the start of the SIG. then we fold from the back to the front then fold again back to the front.

We then make sure all of the air is out before folding from what would of been the left and right of the tent into three, then getting rid of the air, then folding into three again getting rid of any trapped air then putting it into the bag then doing up the straps that are inside. to get the zip done up we just squish the tent until the zip comes up.

After a wet weekend in Leek and a hurried departure in the rain,  I piched my tent at home yesterday to dry it out. I put it away today (the last dry day of the month here at Stockton-on-Tees)

I tried Karls method and it fit the bag easy. I had room to add the bucket and footprint ground sheets. I was also able to fit two rubber mallets and two tent extractors at the side. There is still room left.

Thanks again for your replies
