I'm sorry I don't know I couldn't figure it out! Try googling or you tubing and see if there is a demo!?

Great question. I do watch the video every time. You can pull it up on you tube.

you have to fold all three angles flat against each other, standing upright, grab the bottom half with one hand and fold up to the top half like a taco, grasp together both ends w one hand, turn the taco on its side keeping the hand grasping the two ends together, the tent will twirl into itself like a coiled up phone cord.....try turning the tent into itself, it takes a few times to do it .....hope that helps

You cannot fold the bag and put it back in. You will need to "stuff" it back in. This is what the manufacturer recommends doing and they have an instructional video on their website ( http://tetonsports.com/Sleeping-Bags/Mammoth/Mammoth-0.htm) showing "How to stuff a Mammoth Bag". Watch how he struggles also. It is really a Pain!

I puzzled over how to fold the rack as well. What worked for me was turning the rack upside down, then gently pulling the legs together.

Tip... just stuff the tent and fly right into your backpack. There is no need to try and fold it up and fit it back into the nylon bag they give you. It will fit just about anywhere this way. Slip the poles in your pack or attach to the outside. This saves lots of time when packing camp.

just fold in the side and keep folding the next side onto itself. the top/bottom can get stuffed inside the folded sides

I couldn't get it back in the bag either, no matter how much help I got. I ended up getting a big enough duffle bag at walmart and separate compression sack ends to go with it. Either way about it, it takes up some room.

The best way is to kneel on it and fold it in on itself as you go. It does take a little time.

First, you fold out the legs with hinges so they lock in place. Sometimes it's hard to find the hinges because the material slides over them. Once the legs are locked in place push down on the center spar while supporting the tent directly below the center spar. The tent should pop up fairly easy, once you set it down verify the foldable legs are still locked in place. It is possible to bend them while opening the tent. You may have to collapse the tent partially and re-lock the legs. This was the only issue I had and once I figured it out I never had the issue again.

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

Hi Megan,I'm not sure how to fold it up. I'm scared to do it because I feel I may hurt myself. lol

So it can be tricky! I'm usually taking the tent down on my own at the beach while my husband runs after our 2 year old. After you have gotten it in the lowest position, pick up one leg of the tent & push inward. This may take a couple tries, but it's always folded in for me. We've probably used it a dozen or so times. Hope this helps!!

you will first fold it in half, it will not fold flat, and then you will be able to do it.. there is a video on dailymotion.com, and I followed the directions on how to fold a pop up tent. because once you get the tent flat, which you dont have to do, then it is the same procedure.. hope this helps you. I had to look it up also. Let me know

just fold the legs back,i found it is only one position the legs fold and that's all the way folded.

I strap a sleeping mat to the bottom of mine. Normally I stuff the tent inside the bag and the poles (if I'm using them) in one of the side pockets.

I was able to get mine back in the bag, although it does take some persistence. It's impossible to try to roll it and stuff it in. I start with one end and get it as far in as I can, then I take the end that is sticking out and fold it over and start stuffing it in, all the while squishing the air out with each "stuff". Hope this helps!

push in the pop outs and lower the legs down, then you can fold in the legs, hope this helps.
