Afternoon all,

I will be pitching my Wolf Lake for the first time shortly and have a question relating to pegging.

Do you peg the flysheet, then install the ZIG or do you peg it afterwards?

With our Outwell Yukon 6 we get the tent up - I peg out corners and front and back guys (depends what the Wolf Lake has) and then attach the zip in ground sheet. But it depends on the weather. If you've got a good wind blowing then make sure your tent is secure. Getting the groundsheet in actually helps because it stops the tent billowing. And don't forget to peg your zip in ground sheet once its attached (don't do it before because you don't get the movement in the groundsheet with the zip).
Outwell do some good Youtube guides to help you get an idea of the process - see

for the Outwell Wolf Lake and enjoy your trip.
