    OVERVIEW:

    Silvertip 2.0: The Ultimate Lightweight Storm Shelter

    The Silvertip 2.0 is the next evolution of the iconic minimalist fortress, designed for adventurers who need reliability in the wild. Built to pitch with a trekking pole, this updated version retains all the floor space of the original while shedding weight and improving performance.

    PITCHING:

    1. Unpack the tent and lay it flat on the ground with the zipper door facing up.
    2. Locate the zipper door—this is your starting point.
    3. Find the first seam to the right of the zipper and stake it down firmly.
    4. Moving to the right, skip one seam and stake the next seam tightly to create a straight line.
    5. Go back to the zipper and find the first seam to the left. Stake this seam with a 4-5 inch setback (pull the stake away from the tent slightly before staking).
    6. Moving to the left, skip one seam and stake the next seam with a 4-5 inch setback. This should form a rectangle shape.
    7. Adjust your trekking pole or carbon pole to 135cm in height.
    8. Open the zipper door and insert the pole into the cone-shaped attachment point inside the tent, then close the zipper door.
    9. Stake the zipper door tight to the ground.
    10. Stake the back seam (opposite the zipper) tight to the ground.
    11. If the tent feels loose, adjust the height of the pole or the length of the cordage for a tighter fit.
    12. Use additional stake points and guy-out points (if available) for extra stability in windy or harsh weather.

    SEAM SEALING:  

    For best results we recommend seam-sealing your tent.  You can do it at home or have us do it for you
    1. To seal the shelter, pitch it normally and seal the outside seams.
    2. You can run a thin bead of sealant along the seam, press it in with a finger, and wipe away excess on a paper towel.
    3. Alternatively, you can use an acid brush from a hardware store to spread the sealant.

     

    INFO ON HOT TENTS:

    Temperature Rating
    • We use high temp silicone coated fiberglass material, rated to several thousand degrees, for the stove jack. The tent material never touches the hot pipe. If there are any pinholes from floating embers, they can be sealed with a small dab of silicone without damaging the shelter.
    Condensation
    Carbon Monoxide
    • Carbon monoxide is not a concern in these shelters due to the peak vent and air flow from the zipper and sod skirt. If necessary, leave a door unzipped for more venting.

    WARRANTY:

    Defects in manufacturing and material for the practical lifetime of the product. Damage due to wear and tear or misuse will be repaired for a reasonable charge.
