帐篷之FAQS
帐篷其实还是挺容易的，老外的FAQS（从欧美销量最大的帐篷Big Agnes的官网上趴下来的）
1,Do I need to seam seal my new tent to ensure it is waterproof?
Every Big Agnes tent has all necessary seams taped using PVC-free and solvent free seam tape. The seam tape along with the waterproof coatings on the floor and fly of the tents ensure Big Agnes tents are waterproof right out of the stuff sack. There is no need to apply any seam sealant to a new tent. If after a few seasons of hard use you notice water coming through a seam, we recommend spot sealing with Seam Grip by McNett. Under very rare circumstances is it necessary to re-seal every seam on a Big Agnes tent.
Improper seam sealing by a tent owner is not covered under warranty.
2,How do I use the guy lines on my tent?
Guy lines provide stability to the pole structure and are important to use every time you pitch your tent. While it may not seem windy when you set up camp, you never know what the weather may do during the night. Guy lines are most effective when staked directly into the wind. Often times you can attach lines to the stakes you used on the tent body. You can also attach multiple guy lines to a single stake.

3,What is the best way to store my tent?
Take care when storing your tent for a long period. Store gear in a dry, temperature controlled environment. Never store gear in a garage or attic! These areas have large fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
Optimum storage is to drape the tent fly and body in a room or closet. If this is not possible roll or stuff your tent in the storage sack. It is recommended that you pull your tent out of the sack and lay it out (you don’t need to pitch it) every 3 to 4 months when not in use. This will help prevent mildew and other damage to the coated materials. Always store your tent clean and dry.
4,What is the best way to wash my tent?
Start by gently shaking out your tent. Never pick up a pitched tent by the poles. Instead, breakdown your tent and unzip the door on your tent body and turn the body inside out. Gently shake out debris.
Use a toothbrush or similar and remove dirt and grit from all zippers on body and fly.
If there is pine pitch or other buildup on the tent body or fly spot treat with warm water and a purpose specific soap such as Tech Wash by Nikwax. Rinse with water and let dry. If needed you can also soak the tent in warm water and Tech Wash, gently hand wash, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
5,Can I use a Standard Seedhouse footprint with my Seedhouse SL Tent?
No. There is different hardware (such as buckles) used on the different tents. In some cases the shape and pole configuration of a standard Seedhouse and the corresponding Seedhouse SL are different. Be sure to get accessories specifically designed for the tent you own.
6,Can I use an Emerald Mountain SL Accessory Vestibule with a Copper Spur UL Tent?
No. The Emerald Mountain has a rainfly that is specifically designed to work with the accessory vestibule. The Copper Spur is made to be the lightest tent with the volume it offers and so does not have a rainfly that works with an accessory vestibule. Again, always look for accessories that are designed for the tent you are interested in.
