NEMO Equipment ASASH - Manual (Page 3)

Tent Setup
1. Lay out the contents of Asashi™ and make sure that you
received all of the following items: rain fly, inner tent, stuff sack,
two main poles, two shorter ridge poles, seven stakes, guy-lines,
pole repair sleeve, Tear-Aid® fabric patch, and an extra Jake’s Foot.
3. Assemble your two main and two ridge poles by connecting all
the segments together. Be sure that every pole segment is fully
inserted into its mating segments. Failing to do this can cause the
poles to break during setup. Slide the two main poles through
the long pole sleeves running corner to corner on the tent. Next
slide the ridge poles through the shorter sleeves running across
the width of the tent.
4. Attach the ends of the main poles into the Jake’s Feet anchors
at the corners of the tent. The ball tip on the ends of the main
poles snaps into the socket on the Jake’s Feet. This will raise the
tent into its basic shape.
2. When choosing a location to pitch your tent, select a flat area
free of fragile undergrowth and sharp objects. Asashi™ is a
freestanding tent which means it will function without being
staked out. For full strength, anchor the corners of your tent to
the ground with the included stakes. If the ground is too hard to
place stakes, tie the corners of your tent to heavy objects like
rocks. If you are forced to set up your tent on an incline, face the
front of Asashi™ downhill.

3. Asashi Pawprint™: (sold separately) this interior liner is made
of abrasion-resistant, brushed nylon fabric that is very soft and
machine-washable. Now you can have a clean, soft place to sleep
on every trip. If you'd like to bring the dog along, Pawprint™ will
keep your dog's paws from tearing up the tent floor.
3. Gear Storage: Asashi™ comes with a total of 9 interior pockets
and an optional Gear Loft that includes 4 additional pockets. Of
the 9 included interior pockets, 4 of them are positioned across
the back wall of the tent for easy access and include sleeves for
holding standard sized water bottles.
4. LightPocket™: most headlamps have a focused beam and
hanging your lamp inside your tent can be frustrating. To make
things easier, Asashi™ includes four special pockets for your
headlamps with light diffusing fabric. Place your lamp in the
pocket with the light facing towards the inside of the tent, and the
LightPocket™ will help cast an even light throughout the tent.
1. Unique Pole Configuration: the ridge poles on Asashi™ run
the long direction on the tent and end above the ground. This
design adds significant strength and provides nearly vertical walls
on all sides of the tent. The steep walls mean you can sit straight
up almost anywhere inside Asashi™.
2. Superior Hardware: several innovative pieces of hardware are
used to increase the ease of setup and strength of Asashi™.
The Jake's Foot corner anchor system from
DAC makes tent setup faster and easier. The
main poles attach to the anchors by ball and
socket. When the fly is attached, the Jake's
Feet act as cantilevers to pull the corners of
the inner tent closer to the ground.
