    Hello, how would you compare Katium and the Keron? Can you really feel the difference in strenght and durability? Would you go with Kaitum on a winter Kungsleden? I am thorn between those 2 tents, as a backpacker I am leaning towards Katium though. Cheers!

    • @OutdoorPrep
      @OutdoorPrep Před 13 dny

      Heloł Piotr, I have videos on both - you can see the functional differences in those videos. The strength difference you’ll notice in 9mm vs 10mm poles. Thicker fabric you will only notice if it would rip, otherwise no. Keron offers more space inside and one feature I miss on the Kaitum is mesh panels on vents. Those prevent a bit of snowdrift in light winds. Both can be closed off with breathable fabric, that, given enough wind will still let snow through (see my Greenland video). I want to bring a Kaitum 2 to Kungsleden to go “ultralight” and fast one time. I will upgrade the poles and preferably have double poles.

    Hey Rob. Im considering the kaitum tents, but there are quite a bit of bad reviews about the zippers wearing out on the tunnel tents after a couple of weeks. Have you found any problem with the Latium zippers? and are they the same as the Keron one ?

    • @OutdoorPrep
      @OutdoorPrep Před 2 měsíci

      On Hilleberg tents? That’s very unlikely. They use large YKK zippers - the only “problem” is their weight, but that’s the penalty for durability. The tent will last you a lifetime - if cared for properly - which isn’t that hard actually - just keep it clean and store dry. I use the Keron tents in harsh winter conditions and sometimes the snow will freeze on them in which case I’ve pulled quite hard on them in order to break the ice. Never had an issue with a tent zipper.

    Wouldn't say it worked wonders inside a thin synthetic sleeping bag. The red reactor was better than nothing obviously but at 450 grams that's the same weight as a Z-packs sleeping bag. Sea to Summit made some light stuff, especially their Ultra-Sil line seems fair but it should be needless by now to conclude; the weight to gain ratio is unproportionately on the heavy side for this mummy liner.

    Nice video. My very favorite trick once I became a closed cellfoam pad user was to buy a full-length pad, then cut the final three squares off which becomes my sitting pad. Bonus, of course, that it folds perfectly right along with the rest of the pad when it is packed (almost as if they were made for each other, lol). And I also bothered to get a cheap grommet maker so I put in 2 grommets on the end of the sitting pad, and two grommets on the end of the truncated pad, and I can use a small string to connect the at night if I want the extra length again. Normally I'm happy with a pad that goes only down to my knees, but if there happens to be a very cold ground, I don't want to drain body heat with a cold contact point, so I take the small bother to connect them again. The final advantage is that buying the regular size pads is usually significantly cheaper than having to buy a separate sit pad. Cheers

    Four people would never fit comfortably in it, you say at 6:10, but that's nonsense. I've already slept in it with four people, all well-built water polo players, taller than 1.85m. Of course, it doesn't work if you use XL sleeping mats, because then you can only fit three. But if you lay these out on the floor and then lie on them crosswise, nobody lies in the cracks between the mats. It also doesn't work if everyone lies in the same orientation. You have to lie in such a way that one person's head is always next to the other person's feet. Then it works wonderfully.

    I wonder if the 2-person version will be exactly 132cm or ....140 cm in reality :P

    Thanks for this video. I've had my eyes on a Trangia for a while, to supliment my Jetboil (from 2009) I wasn't sure if I should go with gas or alcohol. But I'm thinking to get both heating systems.

      Both are great. Alcohol burner is nice and quiet but doesn’t give that much control. Enjoy!

      @@OutdoorPrep Could not find any in UK, contacted Hilleberg Europe and arranged to send it in to UK Ultralight Outdoor Gear H.partner retailer. It was last minute decision before my Cape Wrath Trail trip in end of June, not sure if I'll need inner during this "British summer" in Scotland. I kind of prefer Hilleberg yellow inners instead of black mesh. It will be lovely in hot weather.

    Hi Rob, what do you think of the North Face bivy? One of my concern really is about condensation... Not sure the Furturelight would be that good to move the condensation out if it's wet outside...

    • @OutdoorPrep
      @OutdoorPrep Před 4 měsíci

      I was considering it but then seen some videos of it and it doesn’t look all that great. Sure the Futurelight would be great as a fabric, I have a jacket. I ended up with an Exped bivy. It’s very roomy 👌🏼

    They don't sell this reactor extreme anymore. They changed the design to include an opening at the footbox. It becomes a knot when closed, and ends up something your feet get to fight with all night.. and feel restricted. You'll also end up rolling over the new buttons on the hood. In general, the new design is more complicated, more expensive, and not as good. Not sure what they were thinking.

      Oh wow that sounds like design by committee. Bunch of compromises to make all the stakeholders happy but nobody thinks about the user…

    I know Hilleberg say it’s 185cm wide inside, but have you measured it? Hilleberg say their Keron 3 with the same central pole length, and the same 105cm height is only 160cm wide. One of them must be wrong.

    • @OutdoorPrep
      @OutdoorPrep Před 4 měsíci

      😅 I started this exact thread in the Hilleberg Owners group recently. You’re correct, one of them is wrong. Hilleberg still claims they’re not wrong though…

      Haha yeah I’ve measured it, roughly. Need to set it up outside properly to get a more definitive measuring. Will report back once I have them 😉

    I love to carry this bag and I like chest bag mode 19:03 and I want to add some tips if fix only buckles it keep hitting a chest and belly so tighten strap that you mentioned 5:45 to a weist, that make more comfortable
