Description

  Highly versatile all-season tent; light, strong, and roomy

  The Hilleberg Kaitum 4 is a highly versatile all-season tent. Providing a superb balance of remarkably light weight, comfort, and high strength, it is an excellent choice for those who prefer the flexibility of a two entrance, two vestibule design, but don’t necessarily require the extra strength of the Black Label Keron models. The standard sized vestibules can be fully rolled away for tre­mendous venting, and its front section can also be rolled back to create a very protected “covered porch.”

  Backpackers, paddle tourers and cyclists will appreciate the Kaitum’s roominess, light weight, and small packed size. Hunters, winter campers, ski tourers, and climbers will favor its all-season strength and impressive space to weight ratio, and taller users of all types will find the Kaitum models a roomy pleasure. This four-person version of the Kaitum is perfect for backpacking families, couples who camp with their dogs, or anyone looking for a roomy but remarkably lightweight 4-person tent.

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

For Nepali Guides on Mount Everest, Daily Life Is Full of Danger
  Every year, a vast ecosystem of Nepali mountain workers helps hundreds of climbers ascend and then descend Mount Everest. In 2024, approximately 1,500 of these guides, porters, cooks, rope fixers, and expedition operators will support the 414 paying clients on the peak.   Abiral Rai, 33, is one of these unsung heroes. Abiral is not Sherpa—he is from the Thulung Rai...
Tune M1 Pop-Top Truck Camper Review: Winter Storm Tested
  The rain turned to snow just as I pulled into the campsite. It was already dusk, and the dark sky and heavy snowflakes instilled a sense of urgency as I backed into a parking space and turned off the pickup.   I opened the door and put up my hood against the wintery wind, buffeting the Tune Outdoor M1 camper bolted...
SRAM Red Road Groupset: Leaked, Spied, but Finally Here
  Today, SRAM officially released information about the new SRAM Red groupset. Road cycling enthusiasts have long awaited this announcement after weeks of media teases. The Chicago-based brand released the outgoing Red components in 2019, so it was time.   Upon studying the official press kit, two significant things stand out. The shift-brake lever and hood assembly drastically differ, and SRAM put...
Resistance Climbing - Existence is Resistance
I didn't watch Resistance Climbing when it first came out, which is perhaps surprising, as it married what have been two of the biggest influences in my life over the past six or seven years, Palestine and climbing. At the end of February 2019, I was roughly a year and a half into a PhD looking at literary representations of...

That’s certainly true in Texas, and in particular San Antonio, where you’ll discover a tapestry of history, local foods, art, nightlife, and more. Outside sent travel couple Mike and Anne Howard of HoneyTrek to explore San Antonio and immerse themselves in Texas...

The Best Driving Sunglasses of 2024
  There’s nothing better than flying down the road on a clear, sunny day, feeling the engine hum, and bobbing your head to your favorite tunes.

A good pair of driving sunglasses leaves you free to enjoy your drive...
How to Have Fun at a Festival Without Trashing the Planet
  Festivals, concerts, sports games, and all kinds of other summer events are an undeniable blast, and I highly recommend them. After all, what’s not to love? Great music in the great outdoors, tasty food, live art installations, and a groovy community vibe. But big live events come with a hefty environmental cost—perhaps youve read stories or seen photos of all...

The Best Electric Chainsaws of 2024
  Electric chainsaws are better than gas chainsaws. That may feel like a controversial statement, but cordless electric saws eliminate most of the issues that make gas saws a pain.   They seriously reduce emissions by using electricity instead of oil and gas. And they’re cheaper to run — most don’t need maintenance beyond an occasional chain sharpening.   Electric chainsaws also eliminate...
