Hi all. We put up our new Bear Lake 6 tent this weekend for the first time. It took a few hours as we are complete camping virgins but the satisfaction we felt when we'd done it was amazing!! (not counting the minor fall-outs we had on the way) The instructions and the video from Outwell are pretty sketchy so we were greatly helped by information and tips that people had posted on this site previously, so thanks for that.
Only two questions remain
1   Do you have to zip out the groundsheet when storing away-we left it attached when we packed away
2 the video shows the PVC windows being rolled up prior to taking down the tent. Is this necessary? They weren't            rolled up to start with.
Many thanks

Hi and welcome to the site.

Sorry I can't help as I don't know the tent - but juast wanted to say have a great time when you go camping.
Sketch instrcutions seem the norm with tents - you get better advise from campers with experinence of the tent.
