After trying unsuccessfully before watching this video I finally managed at the second attempt ..Pity the instruction with the tent ar useless....they should include a dvd with each temt sold .
The video's miles better than the instructions (WTF does 'surfboard' mean, for heaven's sake?), but could do with some audio to explain what the guy's doing. Even with the video it's taken me half an hour to work out how to pack my tent up.
whew.. finally... the comments by 599hondaman really helped.... I thought I'd break the damn thing... took me like an hour to get it packed! I can build a PC from scratch faster, lol. all packed now! cheeers
I know exactly what you mean. I agree that the first (flip) fold is easy. Once you've flattened everything down after this, then just grab one end with two hands whilst kneeling on the end with the elastic strap attached to it. Twist it firmly(!) and it WILL fold back on itself as shown in this video. It'll feel at first that you're going to break something - but you won't. You just have to show it who's the boss. Good luck!!
Still can't do it, it's the final twist that's got me stumped, followed this vid and another one right to a tee and still no joy. There's clearly a knack to it, but I haven't a scoob how to master it
You are a hero! My husband was at his wits end before we found your video. Thank you :-)

Thanks for a great video.
After watching 4 scout leaders try and pack away a Dart tent (including myself) I thought there must be something on YouTube!
Great video! Also a lot of hits so there must be many people having similar problems.
Cheers :-)
