Saivo 4 is an all-season dome tent

The Saivo 4 is engineered to be the ultimate dome tent, offering a spacious and comfortable shelter for four occupants and their gear. Designed for all-season use, this tent boasts a voluminous interior that can easily accommodate a group of four, making it an ideal choice for base camp or expedition use. Here are the key features:

  1. Vestibule configuration: The Saivo 4 is equipped with two spacious vestibules. The standard-sized vestibule provides ample storage space for your gear, while the larger vestibule, reinforced with an extra pole, offers even greater comfort and storage capability. This versatile configuration allows you to keep your equipment organized and protected from the elements.
  2. Exceptional strength: Hilleberg’s innovative pole system creates multiple crossing points, providing exceptional strength to withstand high winds and heavy slow loading. This makes the Saivo 4 a reliable choice for challenging conditions, ensuring your safety and comfort in the wild.
  3. Ease of pitching: Setting up camp in harsh weather conditions is made easier with the Saivo 4. Its innovative pole system allows for straightforward pitching, even when you’re on your own. This convenience is a game-changer when you’re facing unpredictable weather and need a quick, hassle-free shelter.

This simple camping trick keeps bugs away without harsh chemicals
Looking to keep the bugs away with a natural solution? Try sage
Camping around a fire

Modern chemical bug repellents, while generally safe, can be a great way to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. However, these repellants often contain harsh chemicals, such as DEET, picaridin, and permethrin, which have been known to cause skin irritation risks, poison water sources, or even be toxic to wildlife. The NIH reports that these chemical repellents are not safe for public health and should be used with caution. Natural bug repellents like tea tree oil work great when diluted and sprayed onto skin, but what can you do to keep the bugs away from your campsite? Here's my sage advice for saying "shoo fly, don't bother me."
Use sage to keep the bugs away

Sage is a common herb that acts as a natural bug repellent due to several compounds such as camphor, 8-cineole, and thujone, which produce a strong aroma that repels insects by overwhelming their sensory systems. It has an herbaceous aroma that's both strong and earthy, and can often be slightly peppery or woody in scent. Personally, I find it to be more pleasant than tea tree oil, so it can be a great alternative.

Razor-thin Mars Aeroblade claims to be the “world’s slimmest rooftop tent”
The sleek, 3.5-inch-tall profile is purpose-built to minimize drag and maximize fuel efficiency for your rig
Mars' Aeroblade rooftop tent mounted atop a 2-door SUV parked near the ocean.

Modern rooftop tents have revolutionized overlanding and car camping. But, their bulk and overall size have left many sedan and midsized SUV owners out of luck. Mars AG wants to remedy that with its all-new Aeroblade, the self-described "world's slimmest rooftop tent."

Weighing just over 100 pounds, Mars Adventure Gear's Aeroblade isn't the lightest rooftop tent on the market (although it's still considerably lighter than most typical RTTs). Its most significant selling point is instead its razor-thin profile. At just 3.5 inches tall when folded, it could very well be the world's slimmest hard-shell rooftop tent available today.

Whether you're planning to enjoy Glastonbury, Coachella, or the renaissance faire, here's are my top tips for festival camping, including what to expect, what to bring, and how to make the most of your time.
What to pack for festival camping

The essentials for festival camping are more or less the same when you look at the basics. Just like with normal camping, you'll want to be as prepared as possible for any weather you might encounter. Between the scorching sun, chilly nights, and sudden rain, pack for these surprises. A tent and a good sleeping system are a great start.
