The Bergen 6 tent uses a tunnel design with two separate bedrooms and a common area. The tent also has a covered porch area, bedroom windows, storage pockets and mesh lining to prevent insects from entering. It can sleep up to six people or three in each room and the common area allows for equipment storage and cooking. The tent can be erected by a single person, but it is much easier with two people because of the large footprint.

Remove the tent, poles, ground sheet and guy lines from the stuff sack. Locate a flat camping area and remove all rocks and sharp objects from the tent site.

TIP

Set up the tent on a mild weather day. Avoid set up in high winds as the tent will be difficult to erect. Obtain an extra set of poles from the manufacturer if possible. Wind and weather can cause poles to break and an extra set may keep your tent standing while others are down.
