NOT TO WORRY! They are sewn inside the tent-carry bag. We set the tent up with the only illumination being a porch light, the moon, and a flashlight to read instructions. Now, two days later, I realize I should have taken pictures of the instructions with my cell phone and could have read it much easier. I will do that the next time.

Inside, the high ceiling of the tent gives a spaciousness that is amazing. My father-in-law (90 years old) came out to inspect, and LOVED it! He was amazed! Of course, not being staked, the ceiling did sag a little, but it was still tall enough for my 6'1" husband, my 6' father-in-law, and my 6'2' brother-in-law.

We stored gear, changed clothes, etc. Since it was an oversight trip, we did not raise the 'blinds.' But I did peek We could not stake the tent as we were on concrete. We used sand bags (my husband has many for his hobby) to simulate staking. I was overjoyed with the roominess and the space inside. Being a senior with arthritis, I do not relish the idea of sleeping on the cold ground! In fact, it isn't being ON the ground that is the problem, it is getting UP from the ground (I have arthritis in my ankles, knees, and 1 hip) that was the problem. We bought a queen-sized cot with air mattress (yeah, we're roughing it!), and I'm even considering getting a Tempurpedic mattress topper for it for additional protection from the cold and to provide comfort. This is the first camping experience I have been invited on since my youth, my husband being a scoutmaster. My first experience will be SNOW CAMPING, so I'm looking to try to stay warm in a cocoon! The tent is well ventilated. There have been camping trips in which we retired for the night, but were awakened by a drop of condensation hitting me in the face. NOT WITH THIS TENT!

Finally, there is a ventilation panel above the sleeping area. Waterproof PE Groundsheet - Robust and hard wearing fabric to stand up to the rigours of the most active campersFor additional comfort, we bought some insulation (4' x 125') for under the floor, and we also have floor mats to walk on. This is sealed attic insulation, with a layer of foam in the middle. My hope is to keep the floor from being scratched or worn with holes, AS WELL AS providing some insulation from the icy ground. We also bought a waterproof layer for under the tent, to prevent the floor from getting soggy!
