  Hilleberg's strongest two-person dome tent, for the harshest conditions

  The idea behind the Hilleberg Tarra was to create a kind of hybrid “tunnel dome” model, with a tunnel tent’s usable roominess and the static strength of a dome. The resulting boxy inner tent has near vertical walls, while the four pole structure boasts five crossing points for an exceptionally strong structure. Like its “big brothers,” the 4 person Saitaris and 3 person Saivo, the 2 person Tarra is simple to pitch, makes a fine base camp tent, and is fully capable of taking on the most challenging weather. So, as with the Saitaris and Saivo, the Tarra is often the choice of mountain climbers, and ski or paddle tourers. But its simplicity, strength and roominess also make it quite popular with travelers who take extended trips in remote, rugged locales, and with backcountry walkers, especially those who enjoy traveling in unruly conditions.

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

Tricked-Out & Affordable Ultralight Backpack: Outdoor Vitals Shadowlight 60 Review
  Pushing the last backpacking trip of the year to late fall in Colorado’s high peaks comes with a near guarantee of bad weather — but outlandish beauty in exchange. And pure solitude if you get deep enough. I hoofed it deep into Colorado’s Gore Range just past the peak of the fall colors. Cold, wet, and worth it.   Outdoor Vitals’ overhauled...
Simple Is Still Better: Stio Environ Ski Pants Review
  I only encountered a few on-snow days when Stio’s Environ ski pants didn’t excel at my local ski resort. And that’s only because I prefer ski bibs when I’m slashing (and occasionally tomahawking) through waist-deep powder. But as far as mens ski pants go, the Environ had me covered through a huge variety of weather conditions brought on by the...

Big Box Energy in a Small Package: YETI LoadOut GoBox 1 Review
  YETI has a knack for taking the simplest gear and turning it into something fad-worthy. The new LoadOut GoBox 1 is just the next thing that people are going to need to have in several seasonal colors.   It is, at its core, a small hard case for your essentials, yet somehow feels over-engineered for a military expedition. Built from the...
A Second Life for Outdoor Gear: Inside the Tersus Solutions Industrial Laundry Revolution
  When a pair of pants has been worn a few times and returned to a retailer, what happens? The answer is complicated and varied, but for a small but growing percentage of these products, a second life begins in a large, nondescript building in Denver.   Inside the Tersus Solutions headquarters in an industrial complex just south of Denver, something revolutionary...

Colorado Loses One 14er & Gains Another After Scientific Assessment
  The LIDAR Data mapping Colorados Park, Custer, and Fremont Counties was published in 2020, and it raised questions for Eric Gilbertson. The mountaineer and mechanical engineer likes to conduct ground surveys on peaks in his spare time, and his friend Ben Loftin pointed out how close Crestone and East Crestone Peaks elevations looked on the LIDAR data. They were damn...

Local Groups Rally to Support National Parks Crippled by Government Shutdown
  Since the government shutdown began on Oct. 1, many national parks and historic sites have remained open — but with severely reduced staff.   Entrance fees are going uncollected, visitor centers are closed, and illegal activities abound in popular parks like Yosemite. In response to these challenges, local organizations and groups have stepped up to help visitors, maintain facilities, and preserve...
