hawkeye Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 If its like mine get hold of it arms out streched and twist in different directions to form a figure of eight then fetch hands together and job sorted. mind you i have a hell of a job with mine has a mind of its own then it just falls into place. best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Charlie, I had a **** bivvy that was just like these new hides and it took me ages to get it to comply. In the end I jumped on it and it folded into the desired position which was good as I had an audience and was going to yog it if it didnt work. Grab the top, twist clockwise and compress. Hope it works or you will be sleeping in it tonight LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning GTS Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sounds a bit like my silver sun blind for the car you take it out of the tiny box, from then on it seems to take over the interior even when folded You can never fold it back to the same size.

Catamong Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Why don't you ask the guy who sold it to you? Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I spent two days trying to fold mine. There`s a knack to it. Try the following link there`s even an animation as well as the PDF instructions for printing Ameristep Instructions Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenbears10 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well in Sharpy that should do the trick. Welcome by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claybreaker88 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi if its Ameristep then it should be easy enough when you drop the hide down and once it folds back to two halfs flat on the ground then grab each end and pull in and down towards the middle as if you were doing the figure 8 on the floor at that point it should be small enough to slip back into its back pack. The instructions that you can download from the web site i found unhelpful but when you try yourself do it 4-6 times so whenyou go in the field you fold it first time. Paul.
