No matter how I pitched it my Night Wing tent from Six Moons Designs came out with a big wrinkle in the side. I thought it was my fault. The tent is built from plans but I added some features. Like all center ridge tents, the side walls sag claustrophobically into the volume of the tent. So I added side pulls both at the bottom and midway up the side panels. In a hurry to finish the tent, I did not get the pulls even on both sides.
Oh, well, the wrinkle was mostly an aesthetic issue. But on a recent trip, I tumbled on a solution.
It turns out that the location of the middle stake loop on the panel lower edge is critical to getting a tight pitch. I moved one loop on one side of the tent. That aligned things so that now the the wrinkles are smaller and symmetric. And I still have the interior volume I like.
Here it is pitched on trekking poles. Now I have my go-to solo tent, with 26 sq. ft. of floor space, good bug screening, an integrated Tyvek ground cloth, stakes and stuff sack all weighing in at 1 lb. 14 oz and fewer wrinkles
