$1,282.00
Description

  Simple, light, strong, and freestanding; an excellent all-around two-person tent

  Inspired by Hilleberg's exceptionally strong Staika, the Hilleberg was designed to be a completely freestanding, 4 season dome tent for those prioritizing lighter weight over absolute strength. During its two year development, the Hilleberg Allak 2 became their testers’ tent of choice anytime they were uncertain about what kind of terrain or conditions they might experience on a trip. Its exceptionally compact footprint and freestanding design are ideal for tough pitching conditions, such as rocky ground and sand, and it is easily light enough for mobile journeys, where you move your camp every day. At the same time, its three pole dome structure is strong enough for basecamp use in all but the worst conditions. Since its introduction, paddlers favor it for its ability to be pitched nearly anywhere, while backpackers choose it for its roomy stability and wonderfully light weight. Mountaineers appreciate both the Allak’s freestanding design and its roominess, as well as its ability to deal with snow loading. And taller adventurers find its length a welcome comfort.

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

  

Footprint sold separately.

Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants Review: They Do a Lot of Things Damn Well!
  At some point along the way over the last 20 years, there has been a subtle (or maybe not so subtle) shift to hyper-specialized outdoor gear. I became acutely aware of this last year when I was in the market for a backcountry ski pack.   But, every time I walked into my garage and looked at all the hooks with...
Climbers, Hikers, and Runners Share Survival Stories from the Los Angeles Wildfires
  The big oak tree that stood over the bedroom of Andrew Goldner’s Altadena, California, home always worried him. So when powerful Santa Ana winds battered his house on the night of Monday, January 5, Goldner, a rock climbing coach and video director, dragged his futon into the living room and slept there with his two dogs, just to be safe....
Why We Can’t Log Our Way Out of Wildfires
  Editor’s Note: We first published this story in January 2019 in the wake of the Camp Fire, the deadliest in California history. With the Palisades, Sunset, and Eaton Fires now raging across the Los Angeles area—and discussion about the role that U.S. forest policy might have played in creating the conditions for them following in their wake—we feel it’s as...
You Deserve Your Vacation. What If It Also Made You Live Longer?
  Traveling itself is believed to help boost longevity, but what if your next getaway had even more long-term benefits?   Picture a reboot that’s good for you. We’re not talking about rigid health camps—we all deserve to enjoy our hard-earned vacations, after all—but rather, trips to beautiful places where mindfulness, wellness, community, and longevity are top priorities.

Winter Bass Lures: Top 5 Picks for Cold Water Fishing Success
  My favorite thing in the world may be pulling up to a popular boat ramp at 10:00 a.m. and being the only truck there. Usually, when that happens, I wonder if everyone else knows something I dont, like an impending tornado or a massive fish kill that I somehow missed. But, in the wintertime, empty parking lots are the norm....
‘Super Aluminum’ Yields Remarkably Tough, Lightweight Knife: OKNIFE XEN-OAL Review
  I am all about counting ounces when it comes to sleeping bags and hiking boots, but I get a little wary when knife brands start trimming fat off their knives. Sure, there are plenty of reliable knives out there that come in at 3 ounces or under. However, a growing amount of these lightweight knives are only rated for light-duty...
Is This the Most Dystopian Climb in the US?
  Diesel fumes. Cyanide. Falling dirt, laced with coal. Mysterious flecks of neon plastic.   These are a few of the things you might accidentally inhale while climbing Utah’s Pricecicle, a 60-foot pillar right off Highway 6.   If you like your ice like I like my martinis, then the Pricecicle will not disappoint. Is this the greatest dirtcicle in the West?   There...
Every Winter, I Read the Same Brilliant Essay About Snow
  Seasonal reading—that’s my boring-but-apt term for enriching the mood and meaning of a certain time of year with the addition of a certain text. Each April, I reach for the “Spring” chapter in Walden. Every July, I take a lap in E.B. White’s “Once More to the Lake.” And in November, when the brown ground freezes and the weatherman predicts...
Hotdog Hans Goes to Switzerland: The Legend Returns, as Crusty as Ever
  Hotdog Hans is an absolute legend. When you see the jeans, the old 80s windbreaker, and that iconic gray flow ripping around on his Volkl skis, sending half pipes and big air, you know it will be a good time.   But the folks in Switzerland dont seem immediately excited about the newest visitor to their little village. After all, this...

Help! My Boyfriend Is a Doomsday Prepper.
  When I first started dating my boyfriend, he mentioned that he had a group of friends who went “camping” every month to practice skills for the future. I asked for more details and he said that they practice orienteering, tracking, and survival skills like that. He’s a really sweet, caring guy and nothing seemed like a red flag. Actually, my...
