Blend tent window placement: There are no seams in relite walls - sidewalls, front or back. Because there are no seams in relite walls you can place the windows at any location along the walls. The only factor in window placement is the tent frame legs. The tent frame legs are evenly spaced on the frame depending upon the number of rafters in your wall tent frame. If you do not want to have a leg in front of a window be very specific when ordering a window location. Remember, there will always be a tent frame leg in the exact center of a tent when you have a 3 rafter, 5 rafter or 7 rafter tent frame.

Front flap stove jack location : There are no seams in relite tents on the front door flaps. Consequently, seam location will not be a factor in the location of the stove jack in the door flap. However, I would recommend a minimum of 3' from the sidewall to prevent overheating your relite sidewalls. Additionally, the higher the stove jack location on the door flap the better draw for your tent stove. The stove jack must be in the left front door flap. The right door flap is the normal tent entry as the right door flap has a 10" storm flap that overlaps the left door flap.

FOR INDIVIDUALS PACKING IN ON PACK ANIMALS - SETTING UP A TENT USING LODGEPOLES

Individuals packing in on pack animals sometimes use a lodge pole frame to save weight and space instead of packing in tent frames. General recommendations and guidance:

1. Use a tent with a reinforced tent ridge/extra layer of canvas. It is very easy to poke a hole or tear the tent ridge if you do not properly remove/smooth the lodge branch even with the lodge pole.
2. When selecting poles for pitching a tent, try to use poles that do not taper much. A minimum diameter of four inches (on the smaller end) is preferable. Young lodge pole pine trees make ideal poles for this purpose.
3. Use the best pole (clean and strong) for the ridgepole as it takes the most stress and is the most difficult to change should something go wrong.
4. When attaching one pole to another, lash them together with rope and or drive pole spikes through them.
5. The best way to tightly secure the two poles forming the "A" of the lodge pole frame is to lay two poles on the ground on top of one another. Tie a rope tightly around both small ends of the lodge poles about one foot from the top. Then spread out the two poles to form an "A". You can secure the "A" poles much tighter this way than making an "A" from the two poles then tying the two poles together.
6. If you are likely to us the same campsite in the future you should cache the poles when breaking camp. It is best to tie your lodge pole frames up against a tree to get them off the ground, If you leave the poles on the ground they will start to rot and weaken much quicker. The poles can give you many years of service if you care for them.

LIGHTWEIGHT STOVES TO PACK IN

1. Individuals packing in normally take a lightweight stove. However, some individuals take a heavier stove and "cache" it if they use the same hunting camp every year.
2. Collapsible stoves fold down on themselves and are occasionally used by packers. Only about one half of the stove space on a pack horse is saved because the stove pipe and any other accessories must also be packed in. Stove pipe and accessories normally fit inside the firebox of a normal stove. The biggest drawback of a collapsible stove is that the firebox is not airtight and some smoke will in in your tent.
3. Lightweight stoves primary drawback is the thin metal bottom will burn through much faster than the heavier metal stoves. I recommend you put one inch of dirt inside the firebox to reduce the heat on the bottom of the stove firebox. The two most common lightweight stoves used for packing in are the Riley Stoves and Kni-Co stoves. The larger Riley stoves, Colt and larger, have double walls and double stove bottoms and are very durable. However, the Riley stove is much more expensive than the Kni-Co single wall and bottom stoves.
4. A damper for your stove is strongly recommend. I hunt in Wilderness areas and all wood has to be cut by hand. A damper makes your stove 10-15% more efficient. Which means you will reduce the amount of wood you have to cut by 10-15% if you use a damper. This 10-15% increased stove efficiency is very important when you cut wood by hand.
