Description
About Me:
My name is Tom from Tom Heaney Adventure - I am fanatical about high performance outdoor gear and equipment.
My first passion is winter wild camping in the mountains under harsh conditions and I have been doing it now for over 25 years, using outdoor clothing and equipment from the world's best manufactures.
I have winter wild camped in temperatures down to -25 degrees celsius with winds in excess of 90mph. Nothing better than putting up your tent at night in a blizzard… Some of my camping locations include Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Pyrenees, the Alps, and Antarctica using tents from Hilleberg, The North Face, Terra Nova Equipment, Mountain Hardwear, and Crux. My preference is to camp on summits if possible and only carry what I absolutely need.
Today I am still learning but here you can follow my experiences and learn too. All the very best for safe fun and adventure in the outdoors. Tom

Thank you for this excellent review. You really put emphasis on the points that are essential for a tent for harsh conditions.

An absolutely brilliant review, Tom. The level of detail in this film makes it the most comprehensive Hilleberg tent review I’ve ever watched. As an owner of Hilleberg tents and having owned a TN Hyperspace, I think your synopsis was perfectly balanced, and very accurate. I really hope that Hilleberg are made aware of this review, as I’m sure they would absolutely delighted to see it.

This goes to show there is no substitute for real world assessment. The catalogue from. Hilleberg and the included dimensions show and lead you to believe the Staika has more room inside than the Tarra! Tremendous work Tom!

Intersting to see the exped quasar with the extra pole crossing points. Back in 2000 when choosing between what a shop had in stock rather than having the world before us on the internet we had to choose between the original Quasar and the Tarra for a cycle tour of Iceland. When we saw the size of the Tarra we asked the weight and was amazed to find it the same (at the time) as a Quasar. So what is the downside we asked? The price came the answer. The thing with the Quasar was you cannot get four bike panniers in one vesitible and get in and out. With the Tara you can get 8 panniers (two people's worth) in one end and cook / enter at the other end.

super great review of the Tarra. I am amazed after watching so many tent reviews on youtube of tents for the winter and people fail to place the pad down and even a large sleeping bag so the buyer can get a real view of how much room there will be. You deserve a shot of Kentucky Bourbon
