Ventilate the Tent
Besides staking and guying all the points listed above,
there are a variety of ventilation options available for the
Nomad 5. The full-coverage fly can be changed into a
partial-coverage fly that covers only the top of the tent.
To do this, roll up the fly and attach the buckles at
points K, L, N, and M on the fly to the buckles at points
G, H, J, and I on the tent. Also, attach the buckles on
the outside of the fly at points U and V to their counter-
parts on the inside of the fly (Figure 7).
To get some air moving through the tent, the front pan-
els of the vestibule can be short-sheeted, or shortened, so
that air passes through the bottom area of the vestibule.
To short-sheet the vestibule, attach the buckles at points
W, X, Y, and Z to the buckles at points P, O, Q, and R
on the inside of the fly (Figure 8).
The front panels of the two vestibules can also be used as
awnings (Figure 9). One awning pole is included with the
tent (Pole C, Figure 1). Unzip the vestibule on both
sides. Thread the awning pole through the sleeve at the
bottom of the vestibule, which goes between points W
and X or Y and Z. The ends of the awning can be
snapped in place around the awning pole. Put the tips of
the awning poles into the grommets located on the ends
of the vestibule loops at points G and H or I and J. Guy-
out the awning from the two small metal loops located
on the pole. To take up slack in the awning, use the strap
located on the underside of the awning/front vestibule
panel. Attach the buckles at point S to AA or T to BB
and tighten the strap. An awning can also be created
without the awning pole by guying-out the awning to
trekking poles or trees.

stake loops. Clip these poles into place, one along the B-
G-O-J-E seamline, and one along the E-I-P-H-B
seamline.
Stake Out the Tent
Use tent stakes to make the tent floor taught and secure
the tent to the ground. First, stake out the tent at points
A and D. Then, pull out the stake loops at points C and
F until the tent floor is taught, and then stake these
points down. Drive the stakes into the ground at an angle
away from the tent (Figure 4). Next, pull out the stake
loops at points B and E and stake them down. If desired,
stake-out the doormats at points K, L, M, and N.
Put on the Fly
The blue and gray fly shelters the tent body from rain,
wind, and sun (Figure 5). The outside of the fly has a flat
finish and has reflective Sierra Designs logos on it. The
inside of the fly has a shiny polyurethane finish. Drape
the fly over the tent and arrange it so the two royal blue
stake loops on the tent align with the two royal blue fly
attachment pieces on the fly at points A and F. Attach
the fly to the tent poles via Velcro attachments located
underneath the fly at points K, S, N, L, T and M. At each
pole end, (Points A, B, C, D, E and F) there are 1" side-
release “fly-clip” buckles. Clip these buckles into their
corresponding mates on the tent stake loops and pull the
straps until the fly is taught (Figure 6). By clipping the
blue webbing strap on the rainfly to a blue webbing strap
on the body, you are guaranteed a fast, proper rainfly set-
up every time. Try to align the seam lines on the fly with
the poles underneath. Stake out the fly vestibules away
from the tent body at points G, H, I, and J. For maxi-
mum stability in high winds, guy-out the tent at points
K, L, M, and N.
