I Can Get It Up But I'm Having Problems Getting It Down.

[sandyRoe]

I've just been gifted a small Quechua tent. It's easy to erect but even after watching YouTube demonstrations I can't get it packed away.
I can see now why so many tents are abandoned after music festivals.
What to do with it?

Pop-up?

Sandy
Don't want to appear rude or insulting, but do you think you could have re-phrased your question ? Sorry - Ed will remove it if not acceptable !

it doesn't help that 'getting it down' doesn't appear on latest posts :-)

Does this help?

Stand the tent on its edge. Slip one hand in the red strap buckle and use the other hand to press down hard on the edge of the circle formed by the tent while pulling upwards with the hand in the buckle.
Good luck

Fbg40,
it's an innocent question. ;-)

Methinks Sandy has been watching too many Carry On films recently ;-)

However I note from Youtube that the method for folding away a Quecheua 3-second tent is different from that for folding away a Quecheua 2-second model. Are you sure that you've been lookking at the right videos, Sandy?

Lighten up FBG, it's funny and sandy probably knew it would attract attention!

[sandyRoe]

Buenchico,
It's the 2 second model.

I see no problem sandy....... that 3 hands won’t cope with .

Anne:
I've actually seen a tent offered for sale in a supermarket, described as a one-man tent, where the packaging stated that it needed two people to erect it. The manufacturer obviously assumed that all purchasers would be good at making friends with strangers ;-)

[mallyh]

after reading the heading i was going to suggest a bucket of cold water........... then i read about your tent

[anneasquith]

Chris. Maybe would be ok for 2 small men?
