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.

National Parks Open for Mining? BLM Paves Way for Mineral Rights Claims on Public Land

New National Park Rules: Single-Use Plastics Allowed, ‘Disparaging Colonial Times’ Is Not
  Its difficult to keep up with the many changes to the U.S. government happening under President Trump — and the nations parks are no exception.

Sequoia NP Reopens Crystal Cave After 4 Years
  After a wildfire and weather-related setbacks, one of Sequoia National Parks most-visited attractions is set to dazzle visitors again.

‘Unprecedented Threat’: Outdoor Brands to Raise Prices If Trump Tariffs Continue
  Cotopaxi. Wild Rye. Hydro Flask. Adidas. Osprey. What do these outdoor brands have in common? Theyre all telling their customers that President Donald Trumps tariffs will mean higher prices on outdoor gear.   Since Trump raised taxes on imports from around the world, especially China, the U.S. economy has struggled to adjust to anew trade reality. That includes many of the...
NPS Ends Diversity Interships: National Park Services Academy Suspended, ‘Under Review’
  Another avenue for staffing National Parks was quietly closed, alongside Februarys mass layoffs within the National Park Service (NPS).

Backcountry Ice Skating With a Hot Tent: Alaska Man Goes Winter Camping
  There are a lot of different ways to get around in the backcountry in wintertime. Lots of people ski or snowshoe. Others use dog sleds or snowmobiles, and some (not many), like the YouTuber YOGOMAN, use ice skates.

The Next Big Thing? Debut ‘Switchback’ Show Rallies Big Outdoor Industry Support
  What many consumers and newcomers to the outdoor industry might not know (but intuitively sense) is that the outdoor industry developed a large vacuum in the wake of the pandemic.

Save the Vjosa River: Albanians Fight Damming & Diversion in Patagonia Short Film
  The job of an activist is never done. Besjana Guri and Olsi Nika have been fighting for years to protect and conserve the Vjosa River in Albania. Their efforts to establish the Vjosa as Europes first wild river national park saved it from near-certain development by resource extraction companies. But even after that victory, the work was far from over....
Bright, Smart, and Battery Saving: Petzl Swift RL Review
  Plenty of food and water, a bluebird weather forecast, a pre-dawn start, and a fully charged headlamp are a good recipe for success for a one-day ascent of Moonlight Buttress. I had plenty of water and shot blocks crammed into our mini haulbag, the weather looked great, and we certainly were up early enough.   Unfortunately, the headlamp I’d brought along...
