Winter Tent Tips with Bo Hilleberg

[@camouflage962]

Bo - The Boss ! Trust him and his lifetime based experience.... what a priviledge to listen to him... my deepest appreciation - I salute THE MASTER!

[@ericice1751]

His experience with winter tents shows. I love the Terra 2! Bo says it like a true legend. His tents are second to none. Thanks for sharing your advice, Mr. Hilleberg!

[@wanglelife]

I love his no none sense, direct way of delivering instructions and tips.

[@Rurik8118]

Thanks Bo ! The Keron 4 GT kept us alive/warm while crossing Greenland 🇬🇱 not many years ago.

[@Sauromannen]

What this man have done for outdoor community is amazing. His products are the benchmark reference for all tent makers around the world. If you can make Åke Nordin copy your design, you know you have made it!

[@davidunderwood9863]

Good video there, sir. Thanks. Love my Akto, Soulo, Nallo 2GT and Mesh Inner of the Niak.

[@James-ke5sx]

A true legend. Canada.

[@icejunki]

Thank you Bo. Great video. Do more of these. You and Petra make great commentary. I love your tents. It was my dream to own one for many years. Now I am the proud owner of a NALLO 2GT. My dream tent. Everything I need and nothing more. Thank you for your dedication to making the best money can buy. I am so happy with Hilleberg as a company.

Hi i love me Soulo and Tarra both sand. I have not used in deep snow but in high winds in the north of Scotland. The Tarra has stood in very strong winds it is a unbelievable tent It just doesnt move in high gusts from any direction. I bought the Soulo for single person camping as the Tarra is heavy. Compromise many parts of your gear but i have learnt after 40 years of camping that the Soulo and Tarra are two of the best tents in the world.

[@samhill3496]

I stake my life on your tents. Thank you. Happy New Year

[@weeringjohnny]

Nice reserved and authoritative Swedish delivery in impeccable English. I'm sure this info can be applied to tents from other manufacturers but it won't turn a rubbish tent into a Hilleberg. Just wish I could afford one.

[@TonyHobbs]

Hello Bo this is a lovely video thank you for sharing

[@mtnbknmichigan]

Great job, I love your products, keep up the great work Hilleberg!! 🙏🏻🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂

[@koenie72]

I'm looking forward to my new Nallo 2 for my next trip (no snow camping). Thanks for excellent tips Bo, you are still rockin' in the snow ! :-)

[@deltanovember1672]

My tent. Thanks Hillëberg for your fantastic products.

[@fastcelt]

[@VMOSweden]

Excellent tips. I am incredibly pleased with my Staika and am currently waiting for delivery of Nammatj 3GT. Excellent quality tent, you sleep safely and comfortably during the storms :)

[@jasyamaha]

I have one of your tents, it's fantastic. I brought it specifically to use in storms in Australia and it does very well. Thank you Bosse

[@jasyamaha]

I should say it's a Jannu in green

[@TishaHayes]

Thank you! I am very happy with my Saivo

[@andreasoberg2021]

Great video, cant wait to bring out Keron 4GT or Atlas to more snowy areas!

[@Skavenyy]

Bo tack för grym kvalité tält kommer och men hilleberg kan man alltid lita på :)

[@jamesfielden7561]

Great video, thanks for the information.

[@pavelmikula7615]

Wonderful video ☺️

[@pgreenx]

I always have trouble pulling my deadman stakes out in the morning after the compacted snow freezes.....

[@solmyr2]

Use baobab

[@willek1335]

Give it a good kick off hit the sucker.

[@domo3552]

Hilleberg is more than The Tentmaker. Hilleberg is Legend! My Enan was great when winter backpacking (yes I know its a Yellow Label 3 season shelter). I don't suppose there's a spare Soulo knocking around the Hilleberg office that I could liberate? ; )

[@janarneberg9969]

Thank you for sharing! Personally, I have my own "special" tent plugs (31 cm long and 50 cm long) for use in deep snow and / or in sand (from Hilleberg and Helsport). But I wonder if anyone has experience with pitching a tent plug - when there is frost on the ground? (eg when there is little snow). I know that e.g. Hilleberg makes a type called "X-peg". Hilleberg X-peg’s 30 cm (12 in) length. Has anyone of you tested tent pegs - when there is frost on the ground?

[@82ogo]

Outdoor philosophy as standard.

[@user-ho8dr8ue1j]

크 힐레베르그 최고

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

One day I’ll get one when I win the lottery .. great tents though 👊🏻

[@John-pe7ru]

Please make a tent where you can use oven inside

[@60seo21]

저는 한국에 사는 국민 입니다 ᆢ 힐레베르그 니악 구입해서 아직 겨울날씨를 경험해 보지못했습니다 눈오는 날씨에도 견딜수 있을가요 ^^^^^^

[@MrMarkas3]

Please lower your prices so I can get my dream tent after having a few hillebergs

[@jerbearnone2012]

So, how do you secure a tent if there isn't enough snow to anchor with snow stakes and the ground is frozen rock hard?

[@eramaidenkulkija]

If you can find some loose stones they are good for anchoring the tent. You need to have some extra line and just wrap the stone like a X-mas present and attach a loose end to the tent's attachment points. The stones need to be heavy and big enough. I would say about 10-15kg is a good starting point. If no stones are present you can use for example the Stinger titanium pegs which will easily penetrate hammered even some rock hard frozen soil.

[@willek1335]

Lorenzo, who bikepacked around in upper Siberia, had two methods for this. You can find his channel/video on YT. • Screws (with a ratchet) for pitching on ice. Often you'll see climbers use these to secure rope on ice walls. • The other method is large flat screw drivers. Cheap and they're welded, so they'll survive everything. Use a hammer.

[@wanglelife]

I would use the adze of an ice axe and make a T. Then bury your snow stakes with the guy line running from the intersection of the T

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

I'm new to the backpacking/ultralight game, and am just starting out with my research in regards to purchasing a tent. To me, a dome with triangle shapes seems a lot stronger then the hoop look of the Hilleberg. Can someone please explain why these tents are rated better?

[@HillebergTentmaker]

We have both dome and tunnel tents. A tunnel tent will give you the best space to weight ratio so that is why we often use them in the winter. Strength does come based on structure but at least as important is materials and functional details and features. We have exceptionally strong materials and every feature on each tent has a functional reason for its placement and form. We also do extensive testing on all our models to ensure the highest performance.

[@willek1335]

With proper technique and setup, you can easily pitch a massive tunnel tent in under two minutes, in very high winds. You can never do that with a dome tent. Tunnels are useful when you're repitching everyday and bad weather come out of nowhere. As you said, a dome is stronger, once it's up. Ask yourself if you need a bunker to hunker down in for days or strong tent for when you're on the move.

[@MrMarkas3]

lower the price please I've had 4 cent afford to replace another

[@andreaaaaaas]

So what is the point with snow/storm flaps? To eliminate snow sneaking in under the fabric and in to the vestibule? When you add snow/storm flaps, do you also add them to the door? :)

[@onefoxstudio]

Why all Hilleberg condensate so much, why ...

[@MrMarkas3]

Why are your prices so ridiculous? My nallo gt2 3 years ago cost £650 now there over £1000 with the footprint no design change , and it’s not down to the cost of materials. I went to buy a sataris for my growing family to enjoy adventures and make memories but £2000 plus is just crazy for copying a template of material and sewing them together! Your pushing the average hard working guy out of the market , why ? Human greed ? We should all stop buying them until they realise the can’t sell tents at that price and force them to lower the price to a sensible amount. Really saddens me to say that as I love hillebergs.

[@carforumwanker]

100% over priced .NO WAY are they worth the money . The mark up on these must be HUGE .The tent cannot have cost more than $160 to produce

[@northernswedenstories1028]

Lol. Ridiculous comment. These tents are made by skilled people with high wages making good money. Not some sweat shop in china.

[@carforumwanker]

@@northernswedenstories1028 no more skilled than any other good tent company It’s a “premium price “ due to marketing .

[@northernswedenstories1028]

@@carforumwanker what companies would you say are equivalent to hilleberg then exactly?

[@carforumwanker]

@@northernswedenstories1028 I’ve used Vaude and they never failed in crazy Icelandic winds . Hilleberg also . Good tents but not worth the retail prices . I have used some Robens Various US and U.K. tents . All done the job but COST so much less !

[@northernswedenstories1028]

@@carforumwanker reality is hilleberg has always been a specialist brand for people pushing the limits of their gear, not for mass consumers. But if people want to buy their products and put them up once in their garden or on a paid camping spot in fine weather I'm sure hilleberg will happily take their money. Most people don't need tents like a hilleberg but they think they do and they have the money so they buy them. If I'm out in 50mps winds in the middle of nowhere with no other lifelines I know I will pay to take the best gear possible and that means using companies like hilleberg, whose products are perfect for those of us living in harsh northern climates like here in Scandinavia. Not for your average weekend camper in more southern Regions. So then really it's not to complain about hilleberg prices but about people not knowing what kind of gear they really need
