Description

  The ideal 4-person base camp tent, built for the harshest conditions

  Because of both its tremendous strength and its spaciousness, the Hilleberg Saitaris has a remarkably broad range of use. Those needing the ultimate base camp tent – such as mountaineers tackling remote, high altitude climbs – and expedition travelers to the most demanding environments will find its strength and its excellent space to weight ratio invaluable. Ski tourers and paddle tourers alike will value both its roomy interior and its gear-swallowing vestibules, as well as its easy-to-pitch, self-supporting structure. These same users will also find the Saitaris’ attributes perfect for less formidable adventures, such as leisurely family camping trips to the beach or the mountains, or for car camping.

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

  There are plenty of things you expect to fight offshore: Wind. waves, the occasional bout of seasickness. But your own balance should not be one of them.   The Dometic DG3 is a compact, all-electric gyrostabilizer designed to counter boat roll and keep you steady when the ocean tries to throw you around.   Before testing it, I figured this might be...
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.

  Its not often I seek out trails with puddles and creeks, but thats what you do when testing out low-cut waterproof hiking shoes.

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.   Each ultramarathon is a unique journey into an abyss of pain, suffering, and uncertainty. But when running an ultramarathon, defined as running more than 26 miles in one go,...
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. My job, proximity to good streams, and other factors have all played a part. But it hit me how badly I miss the serenity of fly fishing and the escape it provides from...

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. In the backcountry, they take lives every single year. During the 2024/25 season alone, 22 people died in the U.S. due to...
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...
