Setup, start to finish

Three steps, one person

A 6-person Ember with the included hand pump. An electric pump cuts the middle step to about 90 seconds.

  1. 0:00 – 2:20

    Lay out and stake

    Unroll the tent with the door facing away from the wind and peg the four corners.

  2. 2:20 – 5:10

    Pump the beams

    Connect to the single inflation valve. All beams fill together and the tent stands up on its own.

  3. 5:10 – 7:00

    Guy out and move in

    Tension the guy lines, open the skylight and fit the stove pipe if you are running heat.

Air vs pole

Is an air tent worth it?

Air tents win on setup and wind. Pole tents win on weight and price. Here is the full picture, including where inflatables fall short.

Questions

What campers ask first

Do inflatable tents lose air overnight?

A sealed beam holds pressure for days. Cold nights lower the pressure a little, so top up with a few pump strokes in the morning. That is temperature, not a leak.

How do air tents handle wind?

Air beams bend under a gust and return to shape instead of snapping. Pitch with the narrow end into the wind and use every guy line in strong wind.

Can I use a wood stove inside?

Ember, Hearth and Lodge have a fire-rated stove jack. Keep the stove 20 inches from beams and walls, use a spark arrestor and run a CO alarm.

What if a beam gets punctured?

Each beam has a removable inner bladder. Patch it with the included repair kit, the same way you would fix a bike tube.
