Great review, Aaron. I have a lot of Hilleberg tents in all labels and the tunnel designs are always the ones that I use from Hilleberg. Their GT tunnel tents are what I use - despite actual benefits I am aware of for their other tents. I am always concerned with having enough pitch space for their tunnel tents, but it has never been an actual issue. I have Dyneema tents, but I always seem to use my Hilleberg tunnels the most.
Yeah... I got myself a Keron 4 GT.... and that beast indeed deserves to be called "The (one and only)Tent", representing HILLEBERG'S FLAGSHIP tent since decades, ... unchallenged
Sweet tent! That thing is enormous! I've been very happy with my Hilleberg tents, though I prefer the dome design for handling snow loads. I've settled on the Soulo and Jannu-though the Nammatj 2 GT has almost found its way into my quiver a few times! :D
Hey Aaron, have you ever had to double up the poles on one of these? I'm hauling one up Denali this year and was thinking about bringing a second set of poles for the high (17k) camp...
I only carried a single replacement pole on Denali in case of catastrophic failure. I've never had to double up, even in Antarctica with 60+mph winds. If you think you need a 2nd set of poles, the weight might be worth it for the piece of mind.
Yes, I ate 70 pounds (31kg) of butter for my 3 month journey to the South Pole. I eat butter on stage as a motivational speaker to illustrate a point I make during my keynote. :)
@@ALinsdau haha 😅 in my last lapland adventure i drank 1 or 1,5 liters of peanut oil straight out of the bottle. is there some advantage to butter over liquid oil or is it just a matter of taste? 😁 i guess you don't have to carry the bottles at least .. 😅
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who sets up gear in the house where ever it fits.
That's the spirit!
She's a magnificent tent Aaron! May she serve you well on your adventure! Please take lots of video in Greenland! Good luck and have a great time!
Thanks for watching. It's a great tent.
Absolutely love your enthusiasm I'm glad I accidentally found your channel
BruvvaPete Thank you. New gear is always exciting.

Great review. Never seen anyone so excited about a tent😊 Hope your trip through Yellowstone goes well. ❄️😎👍🏻⛺️⛺️⛺️
The trip was great.
I remember putting up my first hardcore tent up in my room back in 1991
a Vango hurricane beta made in scotland

So many expeditions were using the Keron it's crazy.

It's pretty huge but great for 2 people.
That is a great winter tent. I have one because of your review. It’s also very expensive. Worth every penny. Do you have a post use review
Check out my Winter Camping video using this tent: th-cam.com/video/uewWzY2Q4jk/w-d-xo.html
What, if any, is the back up plan if you had a tent failure in those storm conditions?
A sewing kit and a few pieces of fabric. If we have a catastrophic, assuming we survive, it's something we'll have to debate.
Such a sweet tent! By the way are there any polar bears you need to worry about in Greenland?
Yes, polar bears are a problem and require serious defense.

I want to go to Baffin Island and someday. Would the Nammatj 2 or GT be a good choice? Are they durable for the arctic?
I'd get the GT - the extra space makes a huge difference for cooking and repairs.
if you went solo mountain climbing, would you still carry this tent to the higher basecamps or even summit camps? or would you choose a lighter one?
I would use a smaller tent when solo. This is way too big for that.
is it butter you're eating in that intro? 😅
