I had to leave the house and be productive.  So I helped Eric and Karin out by breaking down their tent.  I demonstrate how to breakdown the tent by yourself on a calm day.  There was a point in which it almost crashed down on me but I saved it.

1:01 Tent almost falls on me.

I don't think that this needs much of an explanation but just in case:

1. I take off the straps that secure the decorating lights and the tent cover around the perimeter of the tent.  
2. Then I pull the tent back from the edge and loosen up the thumbscrews securing the uprights. 
3. Pull each upright out of the upper bracket and reinstall at an angle.
4. Go through each upright and completely remove them one by one.
5. While holding the end of the tent roof up gently let it down.
6. Repeat the same steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the other side.
7. Remove the tent cover and pull it completely out of the way.
8. Dissemble of each cross section as I demonstrate in the video.
9. Be sure to secure each of the thumbscrews back in place in each of the brackets by screwing them in all of the way so you can avoid losing them.
10. Disassemble each cross section.
11. Fold up the tent.
