WARNING
Thank you for your purchase of the Alpkit Tarpstar. Please
curtail your excitement and do not use this product until you have
read, understood, and complied with all the instructions and
warnings contained within this manual.
IMPORTANT:
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE INNER
This tent is NOT fireproof and will burn in seconds if
exposed to flame or excessive heat.
Do not cook in your tent.
Do not place hot appliances close to the walls or roof of your
tent. Observe safety warnings for any appliances and do not
allow children to play near them.
Keep exits of tent free from obstructions and woodland
creatures, they will steal your food.
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times, death by
suffocation is possible. Always store any cheesy socks in
vestibules or outside the tent.
Anchor your tent carefully at all times: the use of tent pegs
is recommended, anchors are very heavy.
Choose your campsite wisely, be aware of the possibility of
falling rocks and trees, lightning, flash floods, avalanches and
airborne whales.
Using an additional footprint provides extra protection if
pitching on rough or boggy ground.
Tarpstar pitches inner first. Ensure the ground is
free from sharp objects and rocks that may damage your
groundsheet. Lay the inner out on the ground and peg the
four corners out well. Ensure there is good, equal tension.
Prepare your pole. If using the Alpkit Vertex pole,
assemble by pulling the drawcord and locking in place
[Fig.1]. If pitching the Tarpstar 4 with your trekking poles
then use the straps to lash the pole handles together.
Ensure they are secured well before pitching.

2.
With your pole assembled, open the zip to your inner and
step inside. Insert to the handle/top of your pole into the
roof nozzle and position the bottom of the pole centrally
on the floor. [Fig. 2]
You may now want to readjust your pegs to ensure a taut
pitch, the tighter the pitch the more stable the tent.

Introducing Tarpstar, your new
tarp-style single pole tent. Light-
weight, compact, and comfortable
Tarpstar will be the perfect companion
for thru-hikes and lightweight camp-
ing. Combine with the inner for more
comfort and protection, or use solo for
a minimal pitch.

Clean and dry tent thoroughly after each use.
Never use a washing machine or tumble dryer to clean
tent. Car washes are also frowned upon.
Spot clean with mild detergent and warm water.
Air dry only.
Pack tent carefully to avoid punctures.
Avoid prolonged UV exposure.
Next, drape your flysheet over the top of your pitched
inner. Once positioned peg your flysheet out using all
8 peg points, reusing the existing corner pegs of the
inner [Fig.3].
5.
For a really lightweight shelter, you can pitch the Tarpstar
with just the flysheet & add the footprint. It pitches much
the same as the inner. Start by pegging out the footprint.
With your footprint in place, peg the flysheet to the four
corners. Step inside and position your pole centrally.
Peg the remaining corners for a taut pitch [Fig. 4]

If you are unluckly enough to rip your tent, duct tape or
StormSure tough tape will do the trick for field repairs.
When you are home and dry, you can repair your tent
properly. Using the spares kit you can patch up your tent
with more fabric. Remember to seal any seams!
If a pole breaks, use a pole splint or sleeve as a temporary
repair.
If you need any help or spare parts then please get in touch
and we will find a fix for you tent.
