How To Pack Away A Large Family Tent

In this video Ian Mac shows how to pack away a large family camping tent. The tent featured is the Vango Nadina 600 but the methods can be applied to all large tents

•Ensure the inside of the tent is dust/stone/debris free
•Open tent up and leave to air for a while before packing away (on dry days)
•When ready to pack away partially zip the tent doors leaving room for air to escape
•Tie up all the guylines
•Unpin the poles from the pins and collapse the tent with the poles still in, working from the back to the front to force out the air
•Push (don't pull) your tent poles out of the sleeves and fold them
•With a person at each side, fold the tent to the same width as the bag, pushing air out as your fold
•Place the pole bag and peg bag on top of your tent, start to roll as tight as possible. Roll from the back to the front so any remaining air in the tent will be forced out through the open front door
•Tie the tent up and pop it back into it's bag. (If folded tightly enough, the tent should go back in the bag it came from) For more tips on buying a tent, head to: https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/expert-a...
