1. If using a groundsheet, position it where you want you
bivvy to be with hooks on the under-side and logo to
the front.

5. Slide the locking ring over the end of the handle and
release the tension to lock it in place. You must ensure
that the panels are not tangled during this process, as
it may damage the frame when opening. If you meet
resistance, stop and check to see what the problem is.
Please note: In windy conditions, you should keep the
profile low to the ground or stand side on to the wind.
In extreme conditions, it is advantageous to peg down
one of the long poles on the side from which the wind
is coming prior to opening the canopy.

2. Take your Tempest out of the bag and connect the
poles.

6. Attach the tension rings on the inside of the first
left and right poles to the tensioning hooks on the
groundsheet – if you are using the bivvy without
a groundsheet, then please use the tension strap
provided. Now peg down the rear bivvy poles using
the lower ring on the bivvy and the corresponding
groundsheet ring and then peg out the front pegging
points. The ball and elastics should be looped over
the pegs to tension the fabric. If using a groundsheet,
tuck the internal draft skirts under the groundsheet to
prevent moisture from entering the bivvy.

3. Whilst standing, position the junction block in the
middle of your chest. Hold the two outermost poles
attached to the rear part of the block and pull the poles
round towards you as wide as possible, so as to tension
the fabric. If you find it difficult to spread the poles,
stop and check that the fabric is not tangled around
the pole ends. Do not force it.
DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the bivvy, firstly remove the pegs (do
not pull on the material to remove pegs, pull the pegs
themselves) then unclip the bivvy from the groundsheet/
tension strap.
Squeeze the handles together to release the tension on the
locking ring and slide the ring towards you, allowing the
handles to come apart.

4. Now reach over and pull the handle that is attached
to the rear half of the centre junction block all the way
over. Pull up the middle front pole and squeeze the two
together until they touch.
Carefully allow the bivvy to fold and lay it on to the
groundsheet. Once the bivvy is in this position, you can
disassemble the poles and fold the bivvy in half, ensuring
no material is wrapped over the ends of the poles during
folding as the fabric could become damaged.
Lay the carry bag on the groundsheet and place the bivvy
in junction block first. When zipping up the carry bag,
make sure not to trap any fabric in the zip.
