How To Beat The World's Fastest Puzzler

A special video today featuring the race between Ryotaro Chiba and Ken Endo in the recent Heads-up Puzzle Championship. You can try the Coded Tents puzzle by Takuma Kitamura here:

Please NOTE the rules of this puzzle as a number of early comments have illustrated that I could have made them clearer:
Each tent is attached to one tree (so there are as many tents as there are trees).
A tent can only be found horizontally or vertically adjacent to a tree.
Tents are never adjacent to each other (ie not even diagonally).
A tree might be next to multiple tents, but is only connected to one.
The encoded numbers down the side tell you how many tents are in the respective row. Each letter represents a different number (which may be zero).
