  • With this video, “Hilleberg - since 1971,” we want to share our 4+ decades of making and using tents. Our founder, Bo Hilleberg, is an avid, lifelong outdoorsman, and before founding Hilleberg he served as a soldier, trained and worked as a forester, and spent as much time in the backcountry as he could. When he started making tents in the early 70s, he was simply trying to make something that worked better for his own outdoor adventures. But in doing so, he and his wife (and business partner) created a long-lasting company with a dedicated hands-on approach that is equal parts old-school craftsmanship and technical innovation. In the beginning, Bo did the design and sales work, and Renate ran the production and made all prototypes. Today, we have over 60 employees in three facilities in three different countries, and we make nearly 40 different tent models. We still make our tents in Europe, and we are still proudly a small family company. Bo is Chairman, and is very involved with design and development; daughter Petra is CEO of the Hilleberg Group and also handles all company business outside of Europe; and Bo, Renate, Petra and her brother Rolf make up the governing board of directors.

    I paid over $600 for my Stalon GT 2 back in 2001 and still have it today and have camped in it all over the Sierra Nevada and Yosemite. I bought the Akto for solo backpacking and bikepacking and it's the perfect solo tent with the built in vestibule keeping your pack and supplies dry and close at hand. I recently got into hammock tent camping and I'm wishing Hilleberg would make a hammock tent with all the great Hilleberg designs. That would be a winner.

    Simply the best there is! Unmatched function and relaibitity pared with low
    weight. For the moment I use a Keron and a Soulo. Have also used Anjan
    and Akto. When will you make a small tipi where the treking poles
    serves as centrepole?

    Is Hilleberg the only tent maker that has a fancy stitching process that negates the need to seam seal?

    • @HillebergTentmaker
      @HillebergTentmaker  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Joe. Yes, you do not need to seam seal our tents, however we are not sure about all other tents.

    The tent used to be a length problem for me, most of them won't fit me. Till Hilleberg who is over 6ft tall so I think he must have thought of someone as tall as him.
