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.

Put Your Favorite River on Your Reel: Abel x onWater Custom Reel Review
  Over the last couple of seasons, I’ve found myself spending more time with conventional fishing setups and bass boats and less time wearing waders and throwing flies.

A ‘First Step to Save Lives’: AIARE Launches Free Avalanche Safety Course
  Winter will be here in the blink of an eye, and that means its time to trade in your mountain bike for skis or snowshoes and hit the hills. However, winter brings with it the risk of avalanches.

Ultralight Jacket Packs Alpaca Fiber Insulation: PAKA Mayu Review
  Whenever I pack for a fall backpacking or climbing trip, I always go back and forth about whether I should bring one item: a puffy jacket. Carrying one takes up space and adds some (arguably negligible) weight. During shoulder seasons, I often wonder if it’s really worth bothering.   After testing the PAKA Mayu Ultralight jacket, however, my internal debate over...

Essential Survival: How to Avoid Bears
  Bear encounters are not uncommon in the backcountry. Attacks, fortunately, are somewhat rare but can happen when humans encroach into habitats where bears roam. Make yourself big, yell, curl into a ball … most of the suggestions for handling a bear encounter are Hail Mary tips meant for the last resort. Your best option is to avoid Smokey altogether.   Here are...
Top Hiking Shoe Gets GORE-TEX ‘Invisible Fit’ Update: Oboz Katabatic LT Low GTX Review
  Its not often I seek out trails with puddles and creeks, but thats what you do when testing out low-cut waterproof hiking shoes. Its an important part of my search for a hybrid shoe thats dialed for hikers, and not necessarily for ultra runners.   The Oboz Katabatic is a great example of a boot brands take on the hybrid hiking...
Ultramarathons: The 15 Stages of Suffering
  Ive run a handful of ultramarathons, and while Im far from the most experienced guy on the starting line, Ive noted some common threads from races and conversations with many runners.

All-Day Comfort for Serious Saddle Hunters: Latitude Method 3 Review
  Getting an opportunity at a good deer requires a lot of time in the woods. Sometimes it’s not about how far you can go, but how long you can stay in the tree.
