Kaitum 3 GT
Hilleberg
Kaitum 3 GT
$1,480.00
Description

  Remarkable two door/two vestibule tent with maximum usable space

  Because of its two entrance/two vestibule configuration, its lightweight yet strong materials and its construction, the Hilleberg Kaitum 3 GT provides a stunning balance of super light weight, overall comfort and high strength. Backpackers gravitate toward the Kaitum 3 GT’s light weight and remarkable roominess, as do paddle and bicycle tourers, who also appreciate its small packed size. Hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers favor the Kaitum 3 GT because of its all-season strength as well as its low weight. And taller users will find the Kaitum 3 GT’s plentiful floor space, vertical entrances, and vertical walls a roomy pleasure.

  These users opt for the Kaitum 3 GT over the Kaitum 3 when their trips demand the increased space and flexibility the extended GT vestibule affords: with very little weight penalty, the larger vestibule offers considerably more space for both gear storage/sorting and food preparation. The extended GT vestibule also has two entrances, one on the side and one up front, on the opposite side, offering both more entry/exit options. And by rolling back the front section of the extended vestibule, you create a full tent-width “covered porch” deep enough to keep all but the worst weather away from the inner tent door.

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

When Your ‘FlowState’ Requires Tassels: Post Malone x Stanley Quencher Tumbler
  For years, weve known Stanley for its robust outdoor and everyday carry hydration. So when a viral TikTok craze sent the brand into Quencher mass production, it was a bit like seeing a friend start hanging out with the mean girls.   From a gear perspective, the craze over the Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler has always been a headscratcher, especially...
Classic Trail Reopens in Zion National Park After 2-Year Closure
  The Emerald Pools, a series of three pristine cascading bodies of water, is one of the most scenic spots in all of Zion National Park.   For the last 2 years, the bridge that carries hikers over the Virgin River has been closed due to an unstable foundation. That forced visitors to make a longer hike with a series of detours....
Another Tourist in Yellowstone Got Too Close to a Bison. It Gored Him.
  Last summer, Outside sent writer Drew Magary to Yellowstone National Park, not to observe the wildlife, but instead to gawk at the tourists. Amid all the chaos of high season at one of the United States’ most heavily-trafficked national parks, Magary discovered, among other things, that “everyone who comes to Yellowstone is horny for bison.”   But unlike other big, dangerous...
Get the Shot: 9 Gear Hacks From Outdoor Adventure Photographers
  Adventure photography takes a certain level of skill and a lot of know-how. Like any type of photography, the process is all about telling a story, forcing the photographer to be in the right place at the right time — or often ahead of the action. In order to get to the heart of the narrative, the photographer occasionally has...
A Little Precision Goes a Long Way: MKM Knives DCA Pocket Tango 1 Review
  The MKM Knives DCA Pocket Tango 1 is a small-form fixed blade that carries on your belt or in your pocket. The Nessmuk version of this knife has proven to be problematic for yours truly. I wasn’t looking for another petite belt knife. I thought I already had that covered and that I would relegate this knife to bushcraft stuff....

‘Alone’ Was Forever Changed by a Moose Hunt in the Canadian Backcountry
  The twang of a recurve bow echoes from the television speakers, and on screen, a man wearing camouflage ducks behind a clump of fir trees.   Holy cow, I nailed it, a voice whispers. My heart is pumping so fast right now.   The scene marks the turning point of season 6 of the survival reality show Alone, and first aired on June...
After 10 Years Hiking Europe, These Are My 10 Favorite Treks
  For years, I’ve snubbed Europe’s mountains as soon as the ski season ended. For me, the Alps were long synonymous with winter: hut-to-hut ski tours in the Italian Dolomites, shots of schnapps at après in Austria, and cozy cabins and hearty meals of fondue and raclette in Switzerland.   Around a decade ago, a work assignment took me to the Savoie...
Two Years After ‘Titan’ Implodes, a Netflix Doc Reveals Chilling Findings
  Netflix’s new documentary about the 2023 implosion of the submersible Titan reveals a preventable disaster years in the making. Titan: The OceanGate Disaster, premiering on June 11, shows how OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush forced forward a fatally flawed design. Whether it was his commercial interests, or his own hubris, something compelled Rush to ignore safety measures, which ultimately led to...

Kei (pronounced k) vehicles have never been sold new in the U.S., but under federal rules, they can be legally imported as long...
