I've recently bought a 9 by 7 foot Dome Tent for a recent Campout. As originally planned, -I only first opened up the box, read Instructions, etc, -at the Campsite. Such Tent Setup was overall an easy enuff affair, -but complicated in that as the Instructions say, -this is Really a 2 Person Job,- (if you follow their Instructions to the Letter!), -was being done by just One Person. Namely myself of course.

A bit after reading that 2 Person Advisory in the Instructions, I began the Setup per the Given Instructions. Somehow telling myself that I'd just somehow "Mandle" it Thru, -of course. Then I ran into the Real Setup Snags! It really was a 2 Person Job!, -after all!

Thats again if you Follow their Given Instructions to the Specific Letter!

Well in my Circumstance, and there in my Lonesome, -I of course couldn't be Having that!

Thinking and Improvisation now Comes Thru to the Fore.

So herein now are the Specific, Adjusted Tips. (Not neccessarily in any given Order between the Following Three).

A)- Prop up what will be the Tent Center Floor and Dome, -with reasonably Tall Objects, as you may Find.

B)-Contrary to the Given Instructions, (which has the Following Tent Spreadout / Pegging being done Later and Last), -Spread Out and Peg Down your Tent. This is the Most Important Variance, from the originally Given Instructions.

and

C)-Once you *Only Now* begin sliding your Pre-Assembled (by you) Flexible Poles thru the Exterior Tent Sleeves, -Put some sort of Weight down, -on the first Pole End that you've set into a Peg Latch On Area, -if you find such a step to be needed. The Idea here is to Hold it in Place!, -to Keep it from Constantly wanting to Prematurely Pop Out on you!

Using such a Variation, -I within Minutes, -*Did* whats Otherwise and Normally absolutely a 2 Person Job!, -by my "One Person Lonesome"!

Perhaps you may not Find what I give as Step A to be Neccessary yourself. In Retrospect, -I perhaps could have done without it.

But Steps B and C, -and especially Step B, -are Absolute Musts! If you as only One Person, -want to in Reasonable Time Succeed! In an Otherwise and as Normal, Absolutely 2 Person, -Tent Setup Job!

This all Holds True with at least with my particular Dome Tent. Some Differences could doubtless exist, with Different types of Tents.
