Load plan

Usable roof 52.3 kg after 15.7 kg of rack. 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL.

Zone	Item	kg

Install

Verify hatch with the vehicle loaded

This is 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL. Open the hatch slowly after the carrier is mocked in place.
Do not load cargo until the hatch clears the carrier rear edge.
If it does not clear, shift the carrier forward. Do not force the hatch.

Verify: Hatch opens fully without contacting the carrier. Physical check is mandatory.

Install the rack

Confirm the foot pack and kit against the manufacturer fit guide printed in the packet.
Torque to the brand sheet. Retorque after the first 50 miles.
Recheck garage height with the basket mounted before you drive home.

Verify: Both bars are square, locks engaged, garage lintel still clears.

Build H13 hexayurt

Read the full sequence before the first panel goes up. Wind is the clock.
Install the rope halo before the first wind event.
Cap every piece of rebar as it goes in, not at the end.

Verify: Halo on, base sealed, every rebar capped, photo taken.

Teardown and MOOP

Account for every rebar. Abandoned rebar is an LNT failure.
Photograph the plot before and after the sweep.
Photograph rental units at handover for deposit condition.

Verify: Rebar count matches outbound. Plot photo is clean. Deposit photos stored.

Safety card

carbon_monoxide: Generators and fuel-burning appliances produce carbon monoxide. Never inside or adjacent to a shelter, never near an air intake or vent, never in a partially enclosed space.
carbon_monoxide: Every plan that includes a fuel-burning device includes a CO alarm as a required line item, not a suggestion.
fire: No open flame inside insulated panel shelters. Fire-rated is not fireproof. Battery lighting only. Fire extinguisher is a required line item.
fire: Maintain clearance around electrical devices. No cords through panel seams. Outdoor-rated equipment only.
heat: Water minimum is 5.7 L per person per day. The agent cannot reduce that number.
heat: Shade is a requirement, not a comfort. A configuration with no shade and no cooling in a high-heat archetype is blocked.
heat: Heat illness is the realistic medical risk. Watch for confusion, stopped sweating, and a body that feels hot to the touch. Cool the person and get help.
anchoring: Unanchored structures become projectiles that endanger neighbors. Rebar must be capped. All anchors must be removed at teardown.
electrical: Do not exceed generator or power-station ratings. Do not connect DC-native equipment to an inverter. Size generators to surge watts after altitude and temperature derate.

Troubleshooting

Hatch will not clear with the vehicle loaded

Is the carrier shifted fully forward?
Is cargo stacked above the basket floor?

Unload the rear of the basket. Do not drive with a hatch that cannot open.

A strap loosened on the highway

Stop. Check every strap, not just the loose one.
Look for abrasion at the basket lip.

If webbing is cut, retire the strap. Do not reuse it.

Generator won't start

Fuel valve on?
Choke position for a cold start?
Kill switch?
Oil level?

Leave it. Use the battery station. Do not bring it inside to diagnose.

Generator surge-trips on AC startup

What else is on the circuit?
Is this the surge rating after derate, not the running watts?

Run the AC from a dedicated circuit or shut it down during peak.

Evaporative cooler stopped cooling

Is the vent still open? This is almost always the vent.
This camp runs evaporative cooler. Evaporative needs a path out.
Is the reservoir dry?

If the vent is open and the pad is wet, the unit is failed. Shade and water are the backup.

Shelter shifting in wind

Halo still continuous?
How many rebar are still in?
Is the base still sealed?

Evacuate the shelter if the halo has failed. It is a kite.

Panel seam opened

Tape still has backing contact?
Is this the windward face?

If two seams are open, take the windward face down and wait.

Water running low mid-event

Usable roof was 52.3 kg. Water never belonged there.
Count remaining liters against 5.7 L per person per day.

Leave for town if the remaining days times people exceed remaining liters.

Someone showing heat illness signs

Confusion?
Stopped sweating?
Skin hot to the touch?

This is medical. Do not treat it as dehydration advice.

Whiteout, cannot see the next tent

Is everyone in the shelter?
Is the cooler intake covered?

Wait it out. The stored plan does not change in a whiteout.

Phones are dead and the generator is off for quiet hours

Is this the packet you printed?
Is the safety card in the shelter?

The paper is the plan. Do not wait for a phone.

A neighboring shade structure is lifting

Are people under it?
Is it staked at all?

Treat it as flying debris. Your halo does not save theirs.

The plot still has glitter or rebar after the sweep

Did you walk the grid twice?
Did you count rebar against the outbound list?

Do not leave until the count matches. A deposit photo of a dirty plot is a lost deposit.

Rebar bent and will not pull

Did you drive it at an angle?
Is it hooked under a crust?

Cut it flush only if a ranger agrees. Record the location. Abandoned rebar is an LNT failure.

Reference

Capacities

Usable roof after rack: 52.3 kg

Water: 1 kg per liter, 3.79 kg per US gallon, 5.7 L per person per day

Torque

Use the brand sheet for this exact kit. A generic number is how feet loosen on the highway.

Retorque after the first 50 miles.
