If it becomes necessary to close a storm flap whilst inside, it is quite a straight forward task. Simply unclip the top two clips from the inner and this will enable you to comfortably reach across. It's a very versatile tent, the footprint profile is ideal for seeking out tight pitching spaces within uneven ground. I have guy lines attached to the four side guy out points and my own pitching habit tends to start with the central, rather than the two end, pegging point. Pitching this tent is a delight, its very intuitive and quick.
Yep regarding the storm flaps I find it quite easy to do also from the inside but I always struggle with the toggles (I think it is called) since it is done with one hand 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for sharing some good tips 👍🏻
Comments/replies like your about the toggles up on the roof to easily gain access to the storm flaps is something I never thought of. EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT. No one, not even HIlleberg has mentioned/shown, this trick. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
I have the dark green Enan. I especially like that you strongly emphasize the importance of leaving both ventilation ends wide OPEN, to minimize condensation. I, personally, have the Hilleberg Footprint attached which covers the vestibule ground - which also helps to reduce condensation. I normally add supplementary guylines/stakes at the end of the tent that is facing into the wind & place big heavy rocks atop all stakes. It's normally strong, gusty, windy in the high Sierras @ 9,000'-10,000' elevation. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Great video: A really good tip when it comes to Enans door is to roll it from left to right instead of down to up. This way the door stays secure in open position when toggled instead of loos and sloppy. It’s works really good and can also be done on Akto
I don't have an enan but an akto, my 2nd. One thing I see alot and was guilty off myself is overtightening the guylines , flattening the roof. What I do now is hold the pole with 1 hand while adjusting the guyline to make sure the pole isnt deformed. In the Akto , would close the end vents at night for warmth and so that wouldnt have to get out to close them if weather turned bad in the night, just keeping the top vent open. The tent as a result would sufer from condensation, but not an issue as just wiped the inner in the morning before sitting up.
TIP #1; No need to go outside the tent to open or close either end ventilation flap. Stay inside the tent, detach 2 overhead toggles that attach the inner to the outer. Now simply reach over to open or close the ventilation flaps. Now, reattach the inner to the outer toggles. easy peasy. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
@@roberthammenrudh Yes, I’m with you on the weight issue but that’s the trade off. Longevity versus overall weight. The Enan looks light and reliable from what I’ve seen. Thanks for the upload by the way.
@@dougieranger wow, it’s always fun to have something to look forward to and a new tent is just great! Wish you all the luck and hope you will love it 👍🏻
Hi there! I’m planning buy this tent but I’m not sure what colour. Do you think is much different (less or more) light in the tent if is green or brown? Because I’m not sure about the colour. Tom
@@tenzin044 ah ok, nice choice and I hope you will like it! I wanted to buy the brown version myself but found only a green used so bought it despite that. Honestly I don’t believe the color will impact the light much. 🤷🏼♂️ I wish you good luck and if any questions or so regarding the tent please don’t hesitate to send a mail or message. 🙂
@@roberthammenrudh thanks! it's a lot of money, but I'm sure is all worth it. I been using msr tent, last summer Big Agnes and slowly planning take that one on target. So far from all videos on youtube, I can say green it's quiet dark inside, maybe because distance from the fly plus colour him self. Red no chance, because I'm based in UK, where wild camping is almost everywhere prohibited...well...;)) So probably I will choose brown. I really like idea inner tent together with fly, new for me without clips, only one pole and not bad weight! Normally I'm packing whole tent to the backpack and just poles outside with my chair. This give me chance to maximum squash down and safe space. Even stronger materials they used, it's still about 1kg. I wish could be higher inside, but always have to be some compromises. Thanks again and take care! Tom.
I have a question about the side guy lines. Should they be in line with the loop pole or angled towards the front slightly? Also the two additional guy out points on the ends, how long should they be and at what angle?
Hi 👋🏻, i believe that the guy line should be parallel/in line with the arc pole to support the pole in wind from side direction. The end additional guy line support the wind from another angle and length wise so the angle are not that important. I’ve seen all different kind of solution but the best is if you add separate guy line and stakes for each one to make it stronger, and about and at least 50 cm. That’s my two cents anyways.
Hi Robert, great video new subscriber. I’ve a couple of questions regarding the Enan. This is my third Hilleberg tent and unfortunately the third one to leak. Forget the others just concentrating on the Enan, has your shelter ever leaked? A bit of context regarding last night’s issue and disaster. Found my pitch, not exactly the best but as you will know summit camping is always a bit sketchy. Pitched the tent almost exactly as you did in your video. Everything looked perfect, not sagging nor overstretched the arch pole was perfectly in shape. Lucky close by was a small overhang of rocks protecting the tent from the wind and made a good shelter to make my food also a good place to hide from the rain that now was quite heavy and persistent. I would say it rained hard for approximately 20 minutes with a few brief gust of strong winds but nothing I don’t the the Enan would have a problem with. After my food and a beer waiting for the rain to stop I headed back to my tent to set up for sleeping but when I opened the tent door I was greeted by a huge pool of water sitting in the middle of the porch on the ground sheet. I was baffled ‘where the hell has this come from’ ? I then noticed water running down the inner mesh door, as I looked up to where the inner is attached to the outer I could see water had somehow gotten through the stitching and was dripping on the inner then running to the ground. I also noticed the outer door toggle tie back was saturated and that also was allowing water to run down the inside and again on to the groundsheet. As you can imagine I was not a happy person! The third Hilleberg to fail on me in a drastic manner. What do you think is going on and how would you suggest I go about resolving these issues. Cheers Lee 👍
Hi 👋🏻 and wow…that’s not a good situation! Never had any problems with leakage myself but for sure, if not like a hole or something if to leak anywhere it would be in the seams. Since the tent is ready to use out of the box and no further seam sealing is necessary it shouldn’t leak…but, with time if the fabric is stretched some that could of course happens and a bit more seam sealing could be necessary. So that would be the first thing to do and on all places whew you might believe there to be a problem. Or, send it to Hilleberg and let them do it…for a bit of money off course. Is the tent old or new? If new…well then maybe you can get yourself a new tent?
@@roberthammenrudh cheers for getting back to me so swiftly. The tent is brand new however after the last debacle with Hilleberg regarding some issues I had with an Akto I’m reluctant to get in touch with them again!!! I’m keen to see if anyone else has had anything like this. Cheers again ATB Lee
@@blackmountainadventures sorry to hear you’re having such a bad experience with Hilleberg, a good and respected brand otherwise. Good luck to you and hope you find a good fix for your problem 👍🏻
@blackmountainadventures I've got four HIllebergs that I've used over the years and none have ever leaked under any kind of rain. How tightly do you guy the tents out? That is about the only way that I can think of getting some leakage through the stitching, if it is very tight. One can of course seam seal the tents but I've never had to do that on the HIllebergs.
It seems to me, the common sense would be to put your head on the direction of the door side and put your feet on the longitudinal side of the opposite side of the door. I have the wind toward your feet, or have the wind towards your head, I’m not sure.
For me I kinda changed side depending on the ground if not flat, so that the head is the highest. Didn’t care so much which end I ended up in…and like all tunnel tents it should be pitched along the wind so either the foot end or the head end. Also make sure to face the door away so that you can open it or have it open without creating a balloon.
Hi, I had a bit of problems with the sound there for a while that is fixed now with new mic and camera. If watching a newer episode, like the one about the cozy from Big Sky …it’s a lot better, I hope?

Thanks for sharing, this applies to the Akto as well 👌
The akto guylines at each end are is a bit trickier though .
If the elastics inside the pole is old and to long you can cut it shorter in one end and secure it with a new knot. Thanks for the videos 👍
Yea but this I had was beyond repair and to be shortened anymore, unfortunately! But changed it later to a new one 🙂
And, your welcome 🙏🏻🙂
Great video. I have the Unna
Just bought an Allak but this looks a great tent. I’ll add it to the list.
Hilleberg makes great tents for sure, maybe a bit heavy but they will last for a lifetime or more. 👍🏻

I really don't understand why it doesn't have vent shrouds like the Akto. I've heard those shrouds is where the Akto has a tendency to leak, though.
@@drytool yes, agree… probably due to weight savings but still, would make it a much better tent and much less condensation!

I situate myself inside the tent with my head at the end of the tent facing into the wind.
One only big problem is, which is the foot end and which is the head and which goes to the wind side is not too clear to me
For me I kinda changed side depending on the ground if not flat, so that the head is the highest. Didn’t care so much which end I ended up in…and like all tunnel tents it should be pitched along the wind so either the foot end or the head end.
