Who has one and what do you think of it?

Seems like a lot of tent for the weight, but I've yet to see one in person.

Also, how many pegs/guylines does it take to set one up?

I don't own one, but have spent a week or two in them all told.

If your going to need a tent that stout, it is a lot of tent for the weight. If you don't, it really isn't that light for the space offered. I've seen a night of ~60 mph winds in one, and we had no idea till we got out of the tent it was that bad, I was left very impressed.

The body is nice sized by backpacking standards, but the vestibule is huge. Great for dealing with lots of gear in bad weather.

If I recall, you can get it standing up with as few as four pegs, and can use 16-20, maybe more, in hurricane mode.

One thing to note that didn't come to mind immediately is it takes quite a long spot to set up with the tunnel design, large vestibule, and guy line configuration.

If I was choosing a proper 2 person 4-season mountaineering tent, it would come down to this one and the Hilleberg Allak. Runners up probably being the regular Nallo 2 and the Big Agnes String Ridge.

I've spent about 20 days in a Nallo 2, ate a couple meals in a 2GT, and spent 9 days this year in a 3GT. You want the GT vestibule. Take it from the guy that packed the tent - it's worth the weight.

The 2 is not huge inside, but the vestibule will hold 2 full packs, boots, stoves, rifles, wet gear, and everything else. The 3GT is like small hotel. I think the only thing that would sink one would be lots of wet snow while unattended and no wind to knock it off.

I dig Hilleberg but have never been around a Nallo.

When I wanna go light I run my Akto solo...fuck the other guy and whatever he wants to bring...grin.

Thanks for the feed back guys. Last tent I bought was a Walrus "Skyline", back in 91'ish...grin, and although it's seen well into the 3 digits nights of shit sans a hick-up, I'm thinkin' it's time for an upgrade.

Closest place I know of(from southern B.C.) that has Hille's in stock, is High Mountain Outfitters in Eagle, Idaho. Anyone know of other dealers in Northern MT, ID, WA or possibly B.C./AB?

Damn that pic looks cold...

Thanks Dave.

Looking closer at the Nallo 3 GT and it's only 7 ounces more, for a lot more space.......grin

Chris, what is the real world weight of your 3 GT, as you would pack it on a sheep hunt?

How realistic is it to skip the inner tent and go with a foot print for fair weather outings, not extended trips/hunts.

Sadly, I've never owned any of them... borrowed one, cooked/ate in one, and my sheep hunting partner bought the third.

I don't even know what it weighed, I just offered to carry the 3GT after my first hilleberg experience. I can't see skipping the inner tent - I think they just toggle together, so it really shouldn't be a big deal to do. On the other hand, the thing is really pretty light, and for bags and tents, I don't mind packing a little weight if it adds insurance.

Barney's in Anchorage would be the first place I'd call if I were in your shoes. A few folks there actually use the shit they sell.

Oh, and my sheep hunting partner got his off ebay, which might be worth a look.
