Crag Lake SL3

CRAG LAKE SL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Remove contents from stuff sack. Spread tent body over desired campsite. 
2. Stake out the four corners of the tent body. 
3. Assemble the poleset. Ensure each pole section is fully seated into the next by 
hand, instead of allowing the shock cord to snap them together. 
4. Lay poleset over tent body with the swivel hub at the center and pole tips 
pointing towards each of the four corners. Orient the poleset so that the color 
of each pole tip matches the color of the respective corner webbing. 
5. Insert the pole tips into the keyed hole on the TipLok Buckle™ (shown below) at 
the four corners of the tent. 
6. Connect the plastic clips on the tent body to the corresponding pole sections 
running along the seams of the tent body. At this point you should have a 
freestanding structure. 
7. Drape the rainfly over the tent body and orient so that the colors of the web- 
bing on the fly match the webbing on the body. 
8. Attach the hook & loop tabs on the underside of the fly to the corresponding 
poles for best stability. 
9. Make sure the webbing at each corner of the rainfly is completely slackened, 
then attach the buckles on the corners of the rainfly to those on the tent body. 
10. Evenly tighten the webbing on each buckle as needed to keep the rainfly taut. 
11. Stake out the vestibule doors. 
12. Stake out adjustable guylines and make sure they are tensioned properly to 
complete set up. 

 
Low Vent Set Up: For increased ventilation, hook the cord at the bottom of the vesti- 
bule door to the toggle at the top of the zipper located on the underside of the fly 
Separate 5” large diameter pole segment included for emergency field repair. 
Slide repair pole over the break to act as a splint. 
Secure splint in place with tape. 

 
FAST FLY SETUP 
Big Agnes footprints enable an alternative structure setup; leave the tent body 
behind and bring your footprint, rainfly, and poles to create a fast and light, open-air 
shelter. Footprint sold separately. 
1. Lay the footprint on the ground and stake out the corners. 
2. Assemble the poleset. Ensure each pole section is fully seated into the next by 
hand, instead of allowing the shock cord to snap them together. 
3. Lay poleset over the footprint, with the swivel hub at the center and pole tips 
pointing towards each of the four corners. Orient the poleset so that the color 
of each pole tip matches the color of the respective corner webbing. 
4. Insert the pole tips into the corresponding grommets at the four corners of the 
footprint. 
5. Drape the rainfly over the poleset, orienting so that the colors of the webbing on 
the rainfly match the webbing on the footprint. 
6. Attach remaining hook & loop tabs on underside of fly to the corresponding 
poles for best stability. 
7. Make sure the webbing at each corner of the rainfly is completely slackened. 
Attach the buckles on the rainfly to those on the footprint. 
8. Tighten the webbing on each buckle as needed to keep the fly taut. 
9. Stake out all remaining guylines to complete set up. 
 
HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP 

• Our tents are easy to set up but we suggest you practice once at home before 
using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while 
fumbling around in the dark. 
• Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor. 
• We recommend staking out all corners, vestibules and guylines to increase space 
and keep your tent from becoming a tumbleweed. 
• Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter. 
• Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the 
material. 
• Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
