    Default Black Diamond Beta Light

    I am borrowing a Black Diamond Beta Light tarp tent that uses trekking poles to erect and support it. I don't have directions, and I am looking for advice on how to put it up most effectively and efficiently by myself. Any help is appreciated! I leave for a section hike of GA on June 1st so I have plenty of time to practice.

    This is how I do mids.
    First you need to know how the footprint looks like , in this case it looks like this :

    Now grab one door panel end (the 44" inch panel) and stake that down.(first two stakes)
    Go to the other end, pull the fabric towards you and stake that end making sure that it is parallel to the first one .
    (next two stakes)
    (leave some slack in between ends , the important bit is to have those two end panels parallel).
    Now insert the poles and pull the sides out and stake those out. (last two stakes)
    If the two door panels ends are set up correctly the two sides can only be pulled out fully to the correct spot.
    Ask for clarifications if this does not make sense to you.
