$1,590.00
Description

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

  The Hilleberg Kaitum 4 GT 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. For those wanting lots of storage space, the Kaitum GT model’s extended vestibule offers that with very little weight pen­alty. This extended vestibule has an entrance on each side for more entry/exit and venting options. 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.

This App Wants You to Touch Grass—Literally
  We should all be spending more time outside and offline—or, in contemporary terms, touching some grass. The slang phrase emerged (somewhat ironically) on social media in recent years as a means of letting someone know they need to unplug and reconnect with the real world. Now, there’s an app for that.   Studies show that time spent in nature can boost...
Should We All Just Submit to Our eMTB Future?
  It was last fall when I realized that everything had changed. First there were the back-to-back high-country rides where my friends and I were the only ones on mountain bikes without motors. Then there was the eleven-mile climb where a hiker squinted at my crankset, exclaimed, “No battery!” and began to clap. There was the exchange later that day with...
Will Oak Flat Soon Become a 1,000-Foot-Deep Crater?
  This is a developing story and will be updated as more details are announced.   When Jack Colavita, a high school English teacher in Scottsdale, Arizona, gets out of school at 3 p.m., he typically heads straight for the boulders.   Specifically, he drives 65 miles east to Queen Creek Canyon, drags his crashpads out to classic Oak Flat problems such as...

Start Exploring Lower Michigan’s Vibrant Corner
  While Michigan rightfully gets its share of outdoor attention, travelers looking for adventurous outings shouldn’t look past the top of The Mitten. There, in the northwest corner of Michigan’s lower peninsula, the Petoskey Area quietly harbors a surprising amount of outdoor activities linked by a handful of lively gateway communities: Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Boyne City, Boyne Falls, Alanson, Bay Harbor,...
The Total Joy and Mayhem of Being Albert Lin
  With all the expeditions he’s been a part of, all the technology he’s developed, all the discoveries he’s covered, I’m used to Albert Lin being one of the more interesting people in a room—or even the most well-known. But walking down the street in Quito, Ecuador, I didn’t realize he was this famous.   We are headed to a coffee shop...
12 Mindfulness Activities for When You Can’t Sit Still
  The majority of mindfulness activities are calm and quiet. But sometimes, when you’re too angry, anxious, or stressed, sitting still is the last thing you want to do.   “When we’re in fight-or-flight mode, our nervous system wants to do something…it’s wired for movement,” says mindfulness teacher and author Rosie Acosta. Stomping your feet, screaming in the car, punching a pillow,...
Pro Climber Allison Vest Thinks Climbing Pants Can Be Better. So She Makes Her Own.
  For Canadian professional climber Allison Vest, objects of obsession aren’t exclusively found within the realm of rock. She finds them in quiet moments at home between climbing trips, sitting at her sewing machine and losing track of time making her own clothes. Vest climbs in many of her handmade creations: bolero sets, tailored vintage North Face jeans, a gingham button-...
Filming in National Parks Just Got Easier—Expect More Climbing Content
  On January 4, 2025, President Biden signed the bipartisan EXPLORE Act into U.S. law, ending a year-long panic over a proposed bolting ban in national parks. The new legislation evoked a near–unanimous celebration by the American climbing community.   One of the lesser-known changes to the law, however, was Section 125, the Federal Interior Land Media (“FILM”) Act, which the North...
Can You Get the Same Gains Without Lifting to Failure?
  Failure is a big topic in the weight lifting world these days. When you’re doing an exercise, do you need to push each set to the point that you literally can’t complete one more rep? Old-school practical wisdom says yes. More recent scientific studies have suggested that training to failure isn’t necessary, and might actually be counterproductive because it takes...
Hipcamp Just Added 250,000 Campsites
  I was flummoxed, frustrated, and frantic.   It was the spring of 2024, and like millions of Americans, I was searching for a campsite  ahead of Memorial Day Weekend. I opened several dozen web browser windows on my laptop and pinged between websites like Recreation.gov, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a regional RV resort finder, and yes, even Google Maps. If only...
