Setup: 1. Tie the two suspension straps at the head end of the Tarseer to two trees or similar secure points. (see figure 1.) Alternatively you can use a single tree that is at least your shoulder width thick or a spreader and the 2-point attachment straps.(see figure 2.) 2. Tie the strap at the foot end around a tree slightly higher than you tied the head end. The further the foot tree is, the higher you have to tie the strap Figure 1. Figure 2. 1. The use of two attachment points and a spreader bar. 3.Hop in and enjoy, sweet dreams! (see figure 3.) You should try to set up the Tarseer so that the head end is as close to the suspension points as possible and because of its unique structure, you should fasten the Tarseer between the trees as tightly as possible. Figure 3. General usage tips: Use the two-way zipper to avoid sweating on warmer nights. To maximize your warmth on cold nights, close the collar buttons and pull the hood tight over your face only exposing your mouth and nose for respiration. We recommend that you use pull knots to tie the Tarseer for quick and easy operation. Always make sure your knots are properly made and can hold your weight before hopping in the Tarseer. Two-point attachment: We recommend the knot described below for the installation of a spreader bar. You can use any long enough object as a spreader bar. Most likely this will be a fallen branch. Recommended knot: 2. Additionally, you can take following precautions to make sure you stay warm: The easiest way to climb in to the Tarseer is to stand in the triangle, formed at the foot end of the bag by the attachment ropes, with your back facing the Tarseer and with the Tarseer pulled up slightly towards the head end. Then you just lift yourself up and sit in the Tarseer. 2. Don’t wear any(!) damp clothing. Eat a good hot meal before going to bed.Make sure you’re not dehydrated when going to bed. Set your camp in a location sheltered from the wind (behind cliffs, rocks or in dense forest.) 1. 1. Rope coming from the Tarseer 2. Loop going around a tree 1. Make as many loops around your chosen spreader bar as the rope allows 2. Do not use the spreader clasps to attach the Tarseer, only the spreader Packing: We recommend that you do not use a compression bag with the Tarseer since too much compression can cause the premium quality down to compact and lose some of its insulating properties. As a tip, we also recommend that you try to use the Tarseer without any protective bags since without any enclosures it takes the least amount of space in your backpack and you don’t have to carry any extra weight with you. Care instructions: Should the Tarseer get dirty, you should try to brush the dirt off and avoid washing. Washing the Tarseer may adversely affect the insulating properties of the premium quality down. However, if washing the Tarseer is necessary, use 40°C water without detergent and do not tumble dry. Do not store the Tarseer in its protective bag. Long periods of compressed storage may cause the down to compact. CAUTION: Never set up the Tarseer over 80 cm high from the ground or above such surfaces that falling on them might cause you harm. The Tarseer is not a climbing accessory and may not be used in any circumstances as one. User manual To pack the Tarseer more easily to its protective bag, you should make sure to compress it tightly to the bottom of the bag right from the beginning.
