(upbeat music)
Hey folks, Ben from Snowy's here today
down at the Brown Hill Creek Caravan Park in Adelaide's
leafy, eastern suburbs, it's only 20 minutes to the city,
20 minutes to the beach, and it's a beautiful,
quaint little spot, they've given us some space here today
to show you some of our products.
I've got the Zempire Mono Hiking Tent here,
it's a single pole, one-person, lightweight tent.
Now I'm gonna show you how to set it up and pack it away.
First, I'll show you what comes in the bag.
So inside the bag, you have your Zempire Mono Tent,
you get the inner portion of the tent,
this is the fly sheet here, this is your pole
and there is also a pole repair sleeve inside that one there
you get little bag of alloy Tri Pegs,
these are lightweight Tri Pegs.
And you get a couple of straps to hold it together
and your instruction manual.
Now, you can also get an optional footprint,
these are available extra, allows you to set the tent up
as a fly-only option, it also adds extra protection
to the floor of your tent.
I'm not gonna set that up for you today,
but it is available as an option.
The first thing I need to do, is spread the inner out
and put the pole in place.
Now, there's two points at which the pole goes into the base
of the tent, there's eyelets on a clip at each end.
So we put the pole into each of these eyelets, put it there
and then we flex it around so that it
goes into place at the other end as well.
Now, once you've got this in place,
we do all these clips up over the top
and then we can put the pegs in.
Now, as you can see, it is just a single pole tent
so it's not free-standing as it is.
So what we're gonna do now is grab six pegs,
put them in all around the base,
one on each end, then two on each side.
So that's the pegs in place now, there's only six of them.
Now, I've had the beauty of soft ground here today
and I can push them I with just my foot.
Now, these are lightweight Tri Pegs
so if you were to use a hammer on them, they're not
gonna respond very well to being belted really hard,
they're made to be lightweight in your pack,
so if you've got hard ground somewhere, you might
wanna invest in some slightly heavier duty pegs
that you can drive into hard ground,
cause you do need pegs to put this tent up.
Now, putting the fly on is pretty easy,
we throw it over the top, there's Velcro tabs
to attach it to the pole here,
and we just clip it in at the ends,
and then we've got six more pegs to go around the outside.
Now, I tell I lie about the number of pegs,
there's actually on four pegs for the base of the fly
'cause the ends clip in.
Once I've got all those in, that's our fly
and our inner set up.
Don't have to use Guy Ropes if it's calm weather
but I'll put these in today just
for a bit of extra stability.
There's four Guy Ropes, two in the back here,
two in the front.
In terms of the number of pegs you need
for the Zempire Mono,
I thought I was short two of them but I don't think I am,
there's a peg point here, and an extra Guy Rope
that I still need to put in place.
Now, the two pegs that I put into the ends of the tent
probably don't need to be there,
because there's so many Guy Ropes and pegs around it
that holding it down, so I'm gonna take the two
out of the very ends of the points and use them
for these spots here, now, this peg here
is gonna hold this fly sheet out from the inner
and then I got one more Guy Rope to put in.
The last thing you wanna do is just with these straps
where the fly attaches to the inner,
just tighten them up, so it's nice and taught
over the top of the tent here.
And that, is our Zempire Mono Tent, all set up.
That was super easy by one person,
which is good, given its a one-person tent.
Pack up, is pretty easy too.
The first thing we're gonna do is
take all the pegs for the Guy Ropes out
and all the pegs for the fly,
'cause Zempire have put little rope loops on these pegs,
which makes getting them out of the ground, really easy.
So I've got all the pegs out of the fly now,
I can remove the clips and the Velcro tabs and fold it up.
See my fly folded up, now I'm gonna take the pegs
out of the inner, I could undo the clips off the pole here,
remove the pole, and pack it all back into the bag.
That, is how you
set up and pack away the Mono Tent from Zempire.
These are great, single pole, one person tent
for solo adventures.
They weigh in at about 1.7 kilos total,
down to about 1.5 trail weight.
And they are a good three-season tent,
they do have a full mesh inner,
so it would pretty breezy in the cold weather,
you probably have to compensate with
some warmer sleeping gear with that.
You can grab these online at snowys.com.au
at our lowest prices everyday.
I hope you found that useful, we'll see you next time.
