7) It is apparent that tents should be barely large enough to provide room for sleeping. Any additional size increases weight, requires the use of heavier fabric and stronger anchorage to resist winds, and decreases warmth because of the increased volume of air required to be warmed by the cook stove or body heat.

Pitching tents.—An area large enough for the tent is leveled if necessary by using a ski as a scraper. The snow is then compacted by vigorous stamping with skis. The floor of the tent is laid out with the entrance away from the direction of the prevailing wind. At each corner the snow is stamped hard by the boots, then more snow is kicked into the holes and similarly stamped in order to provide a firm anchorage. Skis and ski poles are usually used as pegs, although locally secured poles and sticks may serve. Tent pegs one foot long, made of sheet duralumin, bent longitudinally into a right-angle section, are sometimes carried. If the snow is fluffy or sloppy, these short pegs can serve as a dead-man anchor; the guy line is tied around the middle of the peg, which is then buried horizontally at least one foot below the snow surface at right angles to the guy line. The overlying snow is tamped thoroughly.

If fir boughs are used as a floor, they should, if tent design permits, be laid after the tent is pitched, but with an adequate supply along the sides of the tent. This eliminates the tendency to roll off the edge of a fir-bough mattress.
