$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.

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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
Get a Taste of Texas Culture in San Antonio
  Some of the best travel experiences revolve around culture—tasting it, hearing it, seeing it, immersing yourself in it. 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...

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...
