How do you set up a tent in the dark? With no flash light.......?

Answer 1

turn on the headlights of your vehicle if it is available

Answer 2

Actually with all those stars, and often the moon, there's usually quite enough light to get by, especially if you know your tent pretty well and have a technique in mind for setting it up. You don't just dump out a brand new tent in the dark for the first time and hope to figure it out, even by flashlight that might prove difficult. Setting it up in your backyard beforehand is a good idea.

Answer 3

Practice, practice, practice.
When you have time, blindfold yourself and feel every inch of your tent and it's parts. Build it twice with out the blind fold and then when you use the blind fold peek a bit if you must and keep rebuilding until you don't need to peek anymore.
When stowing your tent, always put back in exactly the same way so you know where every thing is with out being able to see it.
If points of your tent are confusing to feel, like you can't feel the difference between front corners and rear corners, or top from bottom. Try sewing small tags of different shapes on the corners so you know which is which in the dark. Small pieces of duct tape on poles to indicate direction are helpful too.
Since tents vary so much in design, I can't be more specific. sorry
