MSR Elixir™ 1 Backpacking Tent Operating instructions

  • I've carefully reviewed the assembly instructions for the MSR Elixir 1 tent. The document details the step-by-step process for setting up the tent, from preparing the footprint to attaching the rainfly. I understand the color-coded system used for the poles and clips, and I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about assembling your tent.
  • What is included in the package?
    What is the first step in setting up the tent?
    What should you do after laying the rainfly over the tent?

USE TIPS: All tents require staking; unsecured tents are susceptible
to wind damage. In some conditions, additional stakes and cord
may be required. Re-adjustment of stakes and rainfly may be
necessary to keep tent tight and weatherproof. For complete care
and use instructions, refer to the Owner’s Manual (available at
www.msrgear.com/Elixir1).
