Description

  Spacious and lightweight solo tent with true all-season function

  When Hilleberg first introduced the Akto nearly 20 years ago, they didn't know it would become as popular as it has. Although only slightly heavier than a bivy bag, the Hilleberg Akto tent offers near-luxury, all-season shelter for the solo traveler – lodging that includes a vestibule and a packed size small enough to fit into a side pocket on many packs.

  The Akto is an ideal choice any time you need the lightest weight, all-season solo tent, and while it was not designed for extreme use, it has proven itself on extended polar expeditions, and so will stand up well to all conditions. Hikers, climbers, bicycle tourers and sea kayakers alike have embraced its lightweight roominess, and today it is being used in every clime, all over the world. Long distance backpackers especially appreciate having a sturdy, comfortable room of their own at the end of a long day on the trail. Trekkers find it excellent lightweight accommodation insurance for when traditional lodging in far-flung places is overcrowded, overpriced, or unavailable. And tall users find it one of the few solo tents available that has enough room.

  A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

• The inner tent can be replaced with a Mesh Inner tent (sold separately).

Hydrophobic, Fully Recyclable Down Sleeping Bag: NEMO Coda Endless Promise Review
  There is something indescribably cozy about being curled up in a warm sleeping bag when its cold out. I was doing that in the back of my truck, watching raindrops run down the window outside, comfortably swaddled in my NEMO Coda Endless Promise Mummy Sleeping Bag.   It was 8:00 a.m. Temps were probably approaching the mid-40s now, but that night,...
The Best Snowshoes of 2024-2025
  Invented up to 6,000 years ago, snowshoes have come a long way from their leather and wood origins. But humans have always needed to devise a way to travel over snow more efficiently, and luckily we have dozens of great options to choose from today.   It can be hard to decipher exactly what you may need, as many snowshoes are...
CA Man Snaps Long-Standing Grand Teton FKT Record: Who Is Michelino Sunseri?
  The Grand Teton fastest known time (FKT) record has stood for 12 years. This month, Michelino Sunseri broke that record and claimed the FKT, running the nearly 15-mile route, climbing and descending 7,000 vertical feet, and returning to his car in just 2 hours, 50 minutes, and 50 seconds.   It was definitely a doozy, he told GearJunkie following the attempt....
CIVIVI Nugz Review: Good Knife, Great Price
  The CIVIVI Nugz is a funky knife with a fitting name. Something about the meaty reverse tanto designed by Matthew Wehrwein calls for the good, one syllable Nugz nomenclature. I dig it.   But beyond appearance and naming, is the CIVIVI Nugz any good? I tossed it in my pocket for a month of regular use to find out.      The...
Updated Urban Warrior ‘Truck’: 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz First Drive Review
  With the launch of the 2022 Santa Cruz, Hyundai entered into uncharted territory. It was not only the automaker’s first pickup but also one targeting a market segment that had long been neglected by the auto industry.   Hyundai wasn’t the only brand targeting what manufacturers like to call “white space.” The compact Santa Cruz went up against the equally new...
Mammoth Overland’s Tall Boy Camper Trailer Sets High Bar for Backcountry RV Camping
  Mammoth Overland is scheduled to roll out the first Genesis Edition of their new Tall Boy overlanding trailer before the end of the year. We got an early preview, however, spending a couple of days with the prototype camping off-grid high in the mountains near its Woodinville, Wash., factory.   The Mammoth Overland TL Tall Boy is a uniquely designed and...
Cartop Glamping: Thule Approach M Rooftop Tent Review
  If Instagram and overlanding shows are any indication, rooftop tents are all the rage.When Swedish travel gear giant Thule acquired Tepui (a California-based RTT brand) in 2018, many in that sphere considered it a sign that RTTs werent just a passing fancy.   Thule then upped the ante by offering its own RTTs alongside Tepui models. In 2023, Thule sold $882+...
Momentous ‘DC Fly-In’ Brings Outdoor Priorities to Legislators’ Doorstep
  Its been a long time since outdoor advocacy has seen a coalition like this. More than 75 leaders in outdoor recreation will descend on Capitol Hill this week to convince U.S. lawmakers that the industry deserves more money and protection. Foremost among the groups objectives will be shoring up support for the EXPLORE Act, which advocates call the first big...

  It took 2 decades, but the best women freeriders will finally get their time in the spotlight at Red Bull Rampage this year. The landmark mountain biking event has long been a boys-only club, but that changes this October.   Mountain biking lovers are clearly stoked to see women riders going for big-air stunts, because tickets sold out quickly. But you...
‘Black Outside’ Trailer: Watch First-Timer Tackle Entire 2,650-Mile PCT Thru-Hike
  Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) for your first-ever backpacking trip is a challenging undertaking. Making a movie about it at the same time adds another dimension of difficulty entirely. Thats exactly what Gary Wilkerson and his friend Mary Jeanes just did. Their film Black Outside debuted on September 3, 2024.   Black Outside starts with questions of race. But it...
Missouri to Allow Drone Use During Hunting Season
  All use of drones in hunting seasons has been banned in Missouri until now. The Missouri Department of Conservation released several rule changes ahead of the 2024 season. These changes include the approval of drones used specifically in recovering wounded deer, turkey, elk, and black bear.   All other uses of drones to aid in the hunt are still prohibited. Pursuing,...
