A few hours later we were there!
The first thing we did was set up the tent. We have a three-person, three-season backpacking tent made by Sierra Designs called the Orion. It's lightweight, has good ventilation and is built to withstand strong winds. We put down a "footprint" and then hammered titanium pegs into the ground with a rock. Putting the pegs at an angle helps keep them in place. We'll put a "fly" on top of the tent to protect it from the sun. It would also keep us dry if we were expecting rain. We'll use "guy-wires" to keep everything secure. |
