How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
Six-Person Tent
Two adults and two kids plus gear have more than enough room. It`s also spacious for four adults and their gear, but anything beyond that would be a tight fit.
Though many campers will orient a tent with the smaller side facing the wind for reduced resistance, it`s more important to place the side that has the strongest pole structure facing the wind. If you`re camping in a hot climate, orient a door toward the wind for cooling.
Even though dome tents look difficult to set up alone, they are actually one of the easiest tents to assemble by yourself! If you have a newer dome tent, it is simpler than ever to put one together. However, a lost instruction manual can mean the difference between an easy task and a much more difficult one.
One person can easily put up an instant tent depending on its size and design. If the tent is a 6- to 10-person tent, it can be harder to set up and install the rainfly. However, if the design of the tent is simple enough, one person can probably still manage it.
Ridiculously Easy To Setup
Unfolding a pop up is a no-hassle one-person job and they`ll be set up in a matter of minutes. As soon as you take out your tent and untie it, the springs will pop open, forcing the poles to instantly expand. Folding a pop up tent back is a little more difficult than unfolding it.
As a general rule, a family of 4 will need at least a 6 person tent. A family of 5 will likely need an 8P tent and a 6-person family will need a 10P tent. However, these guidelines aren`t always accurate. Some very large tents will actually only sleep four people comfortably, especially if you are using air mattresses.
Calculate 3-6 square feet per guest, in order to comfortably accommodate all guests. A sit-down meal brings in the variable of tables and table arrangements to the mix. For oblong or round tables, calculate 10-12 sq. ft.
If you`ve got a big family and are looking for a spacious and high-quality 6-person tent, you can`t go wrong with the Coleman Weathermaster. It`s got 6 foot 8 inches headroom, so even the tallest adult can fit inside, and comes with two separate rooms (so loads of flexibility).
6-Man Tent Size
The actual size of a 6-person tent may measure 305cm x 305cm in floor area and 210cm or more in height – plenty of room to accommodate basketball players. However, there is a difference between sleeping capacity and comfort rating.
There is no practical advantage to it. Tent makers roll their tents simply because it`s easier to build that process into an assembly line than stuffing them. And, it looks better when the consumer takes the tent out of the box.
Ventilation must ensure a steady supply of fresh air/oxygen (for reasons of both safety and sleep), as well as control condensation out of the tent. The ventilation system must be able to do this in two ways: through ventilation and ventilation.
Placing a tarp under your tent extends the lifetime of your tent by protecting it from wear and tear caused by rugged terrain. Sharp rocks, sticks, or tree roots can tear or puncture the bottom of your tent. A tarp also insulates your tent, minimizes moisture, and makes it easier to clean your tent.
Putting some sort of ground cover or tarp under your tent is essential for the durability of your tent and to keep it warm and dry.
STOP DIRT & SAND FROM TRACKING INTO YOUR TENT
Want to keep dirt, mud, sand, and debris out of your sleeping area? Set up a Mountain Mat at the tent entrance. Use this landing spot for shoes and gear that don`t need to be inside the tent.
What causes condensation in tents? Air temperature in the tent can become warm and humid from people, heaters, and a lack of ventilation. When the warm air inside the tent hits the relatively cool fabric of the tent, the moisture condenses into liquid form.
Some ways you can make tent camping more comfortable include purchasing comfortable sleeping accessories, creating a bedtime routine, finding a level campsite, keeping food outside of your tent and making sure you have a light nearby.
When pitching a tent in a steady rain, if possible, assemble it under a thick canopy of tree branches, which often provides some shelter from the rain. Once it`s set up, you can move it to your preferred tentsite and stake it out.
Well, the outer wall of a tent protects it from the air, water, and other elements by using extra-durable material. On the other hand, the inner layer is more breathable, allows better ventilation inside the tent, and prevents the build-up of condensation.
While 2 man tents are designed to fit up to 2 people, they can get rather snug, especially when adding all your camping gear and luggage. These sized tents are better suited for solo campers to give you the comfort and space you need.
It depends on the particular tent, and whether or not you have help or you`re doing it by yourself. By yourself it could take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the tent. If you have help, that time is cut down.
Guyline lengths
My 3-season recommendations: A-frame tarps: 8 feet for ridgelines, 4 to 6 feet for sides depending on the usual side height. Hex-shaped hammock tarp: 8 feet for the ridgelines, 6 feet for the side corners. Tents and mids: 3 feet for ground-level corners and sides.

Modern tents made of polyester or nylon are most often treated and have a high HH, so you usually do not need to worry about touching the inside – they still wont leak. Cotton and canvas tents (older) are usually untreated and have a lower HH, so they will leak via capillary action when touched from the inside.

Square tent with 2 types gazebo poles, varenda, 2 side windows
ANSWER : The 2 longest of the poles go in an x over the center of the tent and the 2 shorter ones go arch to the sides. http://www.wenzelco.com/details.aspx?NavID=412shows a picture very similar to your tent. If you go to image 2 it shows it with out the fly. now if you got 2 sets of 4 poles, 2 long and 2 short, and one set is all aluminum, then I would go with the aluminum set. It is less likely to collapse in high winds.

I have a multifunction sports watch that i bought from Big W, (no brand name)
By accident i set the watch to 24 hour time, originally it was set to 12 hour time, how do i set it back? ive tried every button combo including the button combo i used when i accidently set it on 24 hour time, the instructions only say how to set the time and date, it doesnt say how to toggle between 12 hour and 24 hour time, is there a generic way to toggle it on sparts watches? btw, holding the mode button in does nothing on my watch, no matter how long i hold it in for
ANSWER : Hi. How may buttons do you have, 3 or 4 buttons?if you have the 4 buttons, try this:You need to go through the time and date settings again. The 24 and 12hr format select is at the end of time/date adjustment.To set the time and date:-press the top-left button then right-top button to set the seconds, press bottom-left button to set hour then press top-right button to adjust hour, press bottom-left button to set the minute then press top-right button to adjust minute. To set date, press the bottom-left button then press top-right button to adjust month, press bottom-left button then top-right button to adjust day and finally press bottom-left button to set the time format then press top-right button to select 12hour format. Press top-left button when done.Since you have a generic sports watch, it is hard to write specific instructions to set the time format. If your watch has different ways of setting the time, just remember that the 12/24hour format is usually at the end of time and date adjustment.Let me know if you have questions. Good luck.

Hot tub won’t stay at set temperature
ANSWER : I have a 2002 Infinity 6 man spa that I just got from a friend. I am also an Electrician. I had to replace the Spa pack because it wasn’t working. Once I replaced the Spa Pack and used the tub it got up to temp no problem but once I got in the temperature slowly dropped and it couldn’t keep up. After some research and discussion with a pool tech I found out that there is a jumper on some spa packs. It is a LC (low current) / HC (high current) jumper. It limits the current (amperage) that your tub draws. If you are running it on the LC setting it keeps the tub at low current by not running the heater when the jets are on. (this way it keeps the current low by running one only at a time) If you set it for HC it will allow high current to be drawn and let the heater and the jets be on at the same time. On my spa pack it is P26 Jumper. I have found it is also listed as Jumper 4 on some spa packs. the jumpers are located in the lower right of the circuit board. Make sure you shut off the power to the tub and know what you’re doing before you attempt changes. you can also google “Gecko Spa Pack Service Manual” and you will find the manual for your tubs spa pack. Good luck.

How to stabalize four tent poles in an open area.
ANSWER : If you get four sturdy poles (not normal tent poles) then the best thing to do is to stake the four poles into the ground at a 60 degree angle with the top away from the tent and then use the tension created by the angle to support the tarp.
