Date / 2019.09.29-2019.10.12, a total of 13 days

Season / dry season

Starting point and highest height / about 900m and 5416m

Visa, internet, currency and bargaining

visa

Nepal’s visa policy is relatively free. Citizens of almost all countries (except for a few countries or regions such as Afghanistan and Somalia) can obtain visas on arrival when they travel to Nepal. So when you travel to Nepal, you don't need to worry about being denied a visa.

The internet

Basically, the route of ACT is only in teahouse (I call it: mountain house). The network signal of each mountain house is different. If there are more passengers, the network will drop significantly. I heard from friends that walking in the mountains of ACT Inside, no signal was found, so I didn't buy an extra network card.

Currency, buy water

From the airport to the hotel, you have to prepare some change to pay for the fare, etc. The rate at the airport is not good. The taxi fare from the airport to the hotel is uniformly set at $7. When you get off the plane, be careful that locals will deliberately bring it. You go to take a taxi, but you will be charged five dollars for a 100-meter walk. If you see someone following, you can drive him away. If you want to take a taxi, ask the driver directly, and then I go straight to ACAP (the agency that issues the mountain pass) and ask him to drive. I go to the restaurant.

In addition, the purchase of water will be reminded, because the grocery store will sell things much cheaper than the mountain house. Don't feel that bargaining is troublesome. Try to compare prices as much as possible and then negotiate with them.

It’s better to exchange currency in Thamel or Pokhara. Don’t exchange too much at the airport. You can exchange it for US$50. It’s about asking whether the local ACAP is willing to accept rupee for entry permit. If they are willing to accept rupee, basically You can save some expenses, and I will talk about how much you spend in a day, which can help you reduce the exchange loss problem. When the rupee is to be exchanged into US dollars, you can find a bank at the airport. You can do it in Pokhara or Tamei. It can be exchanged at a store, even in a hotel, but it is more difficult to exchange it into US dollars, so this is one of the reasons why you should not exchange too much in the first place.

How to apply for a mountain pass

In addition to preparing for the mountain pass, in addition to preparing US dollars, basically, you also need to prepare 3 photos of 2 inches (the impression is a bit vague, it is better to prepare a few more), the same does not require passport specifications, the most important thing is to buy mountaineering insurance first, the form will require You fill in the mountain insurance number. The entrance permit has TIMS and permit. Both ACT must be processed. To apply for these two, you must go to ACAP or the passenger office before 15:00. Otherwise, you must look for travelers at Besi Sahar. The office has applied, and if you don’t do it anymore and you want to go to Montenegro and get caught at the checkpoint of the ACT route, you have to pay twice the price.

In addition, if you leave the ACT route and you want to go back to the ABC again, you will have to apply for the mountain pass again. Therefore, when transferring from ACT to ABC, you must consider whether you should leave the last checkpoint of ACT.

Equipment, map

This time the maximum weight is about 17 kg and the walking distance is 20km. So when choosing a backpack, I would recommend buying a 60~70L backpack for boys. In fact, you don’t need to have that weight. I will talk about how to lose weight later, because I started from I start walking at an altitude of 1200m. I wear short-sleeved summer clothes. When I reach 5400m in the back, I have hiking pants with fleece. I would recommend wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and a short-sleeve, and a long-sleeved fleece in winter. A pair of summer hiking pants, winter hiking pants, and shorts. The coldest above is below zero, and there will be snow. Wear a down jacket. A good down jacket can help you lose weight. I wear montbell FP800. Basically You don’t need a sleeping bag to wear it to sleep, but I use a sleeping bag because I think the quilt in a mountain house is too dirty. I have only used the sleeping bag once and only use it at low altitudes. Basically, don’t be afraid of getting dirty when climbing mountains. Cut-out raincoat or a one-piece raincoat that can be covered with a backpack, two pieces of underwear, gloves, headlights, lip balm, medicine, two trekking poles, socks that match the thick socks of hiking shoes, one pair of thick sports socks, one pair Wool socks, I have an umbrella~ I think it’s very practical, a pair of slippers, food can bring chocolate or compressed biscuits, hats, sunglasses, sports headbands, clothespins, chargers, power banks, I have crampons, but I don’t use them The local guides felt that there was no need to bring them. Quick-drying towels. If you only bring two sets of clothes, you must go to the mountain house to change your clothes before 15:00 every day. The mountain is wet at night and it is not easy to dry. If necessary at night, just You have to sleep with your clothes. Finally, the most important thing is to remember to wear a mask, to wear a mask, to wear a mask, it is very important, so three times, people who are allergic to dust must wear it.

The map can be downloaded in advance and can be used as an offline map. Different people have different opinions on the paper map. I didn't buy it because I planned to walk with the local guide for a while. After learning their judgment, I will act on my own. Chame went to Muktinath Basically, you won’t get lost. There is only one road, but if you leave the villages in this range, the road is a bit complicated. It’s best to act in teams.

Do you want to hire a guide or porter?

The ACT route does not force the hiring of local guides and porters. The choice is mainly based on factors such as personal needs, financial resources, and physical strength.

I didn’t hire a guide or a porter this time. Although I was acting alone, the road to Chamje was basically a bit complicated from the beginning. I don’t know whether to take some shortcuts. The road is divided into general hiking routes and jeep routes. This is a hiking route. Basically, if you are really worried, you can walk with foreigners, but you must first make sure that you can keep up with their physical fitness. Otherwise, I think that after having the ability to judge, some sections of the road are quite comfortable to walk by yourself. of. The front part of Chame and the back part of Muktinath are best to be accompanied. Although the route is very large, there are always some forks that are difficult to distinguish. Offline maps can help you distinguish. Chame and Muktinath are the most common routes that everyone takes. Guides are also the most popular route for foreigners, and you won’t get lost if you follow in their footsteps.

Replenishment on the mountain and lightening the load

The mountain house will provide hot food, hot water, quilts, and charging. Only in High Camp and Tilicho lake Camp, charging is not provided, so you don’t need to cook by yourself. The higher the altitude, the more expensive the food will be. The last stop at 4800m In the high camp, my food expenses are not very low. I eat three meals or even four meals. The average daily consumption of food and accommodation is less than 1,000 yuan. They rely on food to make money. Basically, most villages can afford accommodation. Ask if you can waive the accommodation fee if you consume in the store. It is best to drink at least a glass of 750ML of water before departure early in the morning, carry 1L of water on your body, return to the mountain house and replenish the water. Basically, it can be reduced It weighs 1 to 2 kilograms, and there are villages for almost two to three hours along the way. Unless there is no general road developed in the back section of Manang, there are fewer villages or grocery stores, but I still think it’s enough to drink 1L of water for walking in ACT. Below 3000m above sea level, you have to drink a lot, and you have the opportunity to replenish it by the roadside. In addition, if you really want to reduce the burden, you must upgrade your equipment. This is a lot of money. There is no special recommendation for upgrading. It is based on personal needs. I think if you finish this ACT, you like to hike, then consider upgrading your equipment. , However, I sincerely suggest that if you have the ability, you can upgrade your equipment directly, because the ACT will definitely make you want to go again.

The food on the high mountains can be just as plentiful.

Actual itinerary planning

9/29

It takes about 30 minutes for me to leave the country (I heard that some people are later), and it takes about 40 minutes to get to the ACAP office. ACAP's business hours are from 09:00 to 15:00, and TIMS and Permit charge USD 50. One dollar can be exchanged for 112 rupees. I live in Holy lodge. Although it is highly rated on booking.com, I still want to remind you that the nightclub next door is still very high at three in the middle of the night. Remember to bring a pair of earplugs to travel. In addition, Kathmandu It is a very 'earth' city. The most important thing to come to Nepal is to wear a mask. Although the mountain air is very clean, it will definitely make you feel ashamed when you walk into the city or take a ride.

9/30

Besisahar to Bhul Bhule 2.5 hours

It takes eight hours to get to Besisahar by car early in the morning. After getting off the car, it rains all the way. It is not recommended to go alone because there are many shortcuts to BhulBhule. Travel time from 16:00-18:30, remember to prepare headlights, low-altitude accommodation costs money.

The long mountain road and the continuous drizzle, I hope tomorrow can give me a good weather.

10/1

Bhul Bhule to Chamje 7 hours

The journey was difficult, the amount of water was 4L, and there was a road with soil and rock collapse in the middle. I still had to bite the bullet and walk along. This way, I followed a fast-moving foreign man (should be 60 years old and had high blood pressure). I finally knew if it was I have too much physical strength and I have to follow it. I can’t see other individual travelers on the road, which can make me transfer the parasite. I want to reincarnate but can’t leave. The despair in my heart can reach infinity, and there are many in my heart along the way. Negative emotions and the voice of giving up, foldable walking stick manufacturer because of dragging blister feet and cramping legs, coupled with the collapse of the road, it has been raining, there are no scenic spots to see, and I keep asking myself why I want to come here and walk on my beliefs. Go on, there are infinite reasons for you to give up, but there is only one perseverance, let's go on and see, you can't be defeated because of your physical limits. So at the beginning, if there are friends who want to challenge the road ahead, they really need to train well. Otherwise, they have to pay in installments instead of walking as far as 20 kilometers a day.

10/2

Chamje -Chame(2713m) Ride a jeep 3hours $1500 rupees

Chame to lower Pisang (3190m) 4 hours

After getting off the car at Chame, it was a wet and cold rainy day, so I went straight to Pisang all the way. Pisang is divided into upper and lower villages. The two villages are separated by a river. After crossing the bridge, you can go to different villages. I settled today. The place is in Lower Pisang, because it’s cheaper, it feels better to live. The advantage of living in Upper Pisang is that you don’t need to get up too early to watch the sunrise. You can finally see Annapurna III here. The hard work of the whole road is at the most painful time To resolve, come here to watch the sunrise. The sunrise time is at 06:00. There are two routes to Manang for the next day. Upper Pisang to Manang takes 8 to 9 hours, and Lower Pisang to Manang takes 4 hours. Of course, the scenery is much worse. The scenery from Upper Pisang to Manang is more beautiful, but I chose the difficult route.

Lower Pisang Accommodation, internet, bathing and hot water are free of charge.

The clouds are up, Annapurna III.

10/3

Upper Pisang to Manang (3469m) 9 hours

The scenery can see Annapuna 2, 3, and 4 peaks. At present, I walked all the way to see the most beautiful scenery. The altitude rose from 2600 to 3,500, which took nine hours, ranging from tropical rain forests to desolate gravel deserts. From the beginning, the climbers gradually increased. When the temperature reaches the evening, you can feel the chill. There will be two villages along the way. Usually, some people will rest in the second village because they can go to Ice Lake the next day.

The body goes to hell, the eyes go to heaven, and the soul returns to the hometown. Some people use this sentence to describe the physical and mental experience of this journey. I really understand this sentence in my heart.

10/4 Manang rest day, highly adapted

Today, I went to Lake Annapuna and looked at Annapuna from the top of the mountain. You can see peaks 2, 3, and 4, as well as other magnificent scenery. It is very suitable for a day of rest here without wasting at all.

10/5

Manang to Sheer Kharka 4.5 hours

Because of the challenge of the branch mission, it is regarded as a high degree of adaptation, and the target is Tilicho Lake (about 5100m above sea level). If you walk this way, you will encounter the intersection of the main branch at the beginning, but the road signs are obvious.

Do not stay by the lake for more than 11:00. The return journey will take about 1 hour to the base camp for dinner. I will go downhill. There was an acceleration, because I had to return to Shree kharka, and I was delayed in the middle. The arrival time was about 15:30, and the journey was windy. If you are sure to get to Shree kharka, you must make a reservation the day before.

10/8

Shree kharka to yak haraka (4030m) 3 hours

The homestays here are a lot more expensive. You can find hot water and mineral water at a local grocery store. There is no money for internet, accommodation and charging, but hot water costs money. There are about 4 homestays here, and you can arrive before 11:00. Find accommodation.

10/11

Muktinath to Kagbeni 5 hours

Kagbeni to Jomson (2743m) 1 hour

Muktinath is not easy to find a way to Kagbeni at the beginning, it is best to travel together.

I took the bus to Jomson at 15:30 in the afternoon. It was about 16:30. Some people walked for about 2 hours. Because of the dust, they were not in the mood to leave. The price is 150 rupees. The bus station is in the village. I know, it costs 3,500 points for seven people to ride a jeep. This price is driven by the porter. I don't know how accurate it is.

At the end of Jomson, the end point is the starting point for Pokhara. Get off the bus and buy tomorrow's ticket to Pokhara. The time is 0630, 0700, 1000, and the journey takes about 12 hours. It is best to buy the front seat position. There are few hotels in Jomson and the price is also It's better to be more accommodating and move in when you find something suitable.

The endless desert, that is salt, not snow.

10/12

Jomson to Pokhara 12 hours

The ride was bumpy and the bladder was strained for 12 hours. The car can shake up and down, or up and down from left to right, almost driving on a rock wall or cliff. Bring water or snacks on the car to relieve boredom. The local residents told the driver to be in Marphar I bought apples. They said that you can get off wherever you want to get off on the bus. I bought apple cider and apple juice for about 800 rupees. I went home and tasted it.

When you arrive at Pokhara at night, if the hotel is set at Lakeside, remember to ask the driver where to get off. After getting off, you can basically find the hotel on the phone map instead of taking a taxi, because the journey is within 2 kilometers.

The closer you are to the lake, the more expensive the price will be. Basically, I live in New Pokhara lodge, which includes breakfast for about Rs 1,100, but snow peak hotel includes breakfast for about Rs 1,200. You can eat fruits and it is more delicious. To be honest, I don’t recommend it. new Pokhara lodge.

Itinerary introduction, end.

Why would you buy an Archaeopteryx hiking jacket?

Archaeopteryx Jacket, Super Lightweight Jacket Arc’teryx Beta LT Real Wear Experience Sharing Speaking of Archaeopteryx, it should be one of the outdoor mountaineering brands that every outdoor enthusiast wants to start with, and I am no exception!

Why would you buy an Archaeopteryx hiking jacket? When I first started climbing, I started with the cheap and beautiful Mont-bell jacket. As the mountain climbs higher and higher, the climate on the mountain becomes more and more complicated, and the terrain becomes more and more complicated. I gradually feel the wind resistance and wear resistance of the Montbell jacket, plus the waterproof ability of Gore-tex. It became worse over time. I happened to see Archaeopteryx jackets at 40% off when I was visiting Moosejaw. I always wanted to wear Kanbird jackets, so I bought my life’s first Arc'teryx Beta AR on the online shopping service website. . Beta LT is my second Archaeopteryx windproof jacket. The reason I would buy the second Archaeopteryx jacket is that sometimes the altitude is not that high. Walking in Arc'teryx Beta AR will feel too hot, and feel too cold without wearing it. In addition, it is relatively heavy and not very convenient to put on and take off. It is not suitable for lightweight mountaineering trips. Therefore, I considered starting with a lightweight windproof jacket. At that time, I chose Beta LT because it weighs only 315 grams. Very light. The next article will share the details and functions, advantages and disadvantages of Arc’teryx Beta LT, as well as my experience and evaluation. Arc'teryx Archaeopteryx brand introduction Founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1989, its headquarters, design studio, and main production line are still in Vancouver. Due to its almost crazy pursuit of new crafts and new technologies, in just a dozen years, it has grown into a recognized North American and even global leading outdoor brand, with good products in the field of clothing and backpacks. Arc'teryx's product line today still only involves outdoor clothing, backpacks and climbing gear. Due to Arc'teryx's almost crazy pursuit of new technology and new craftsmanship, as well as the emphasis on product design and workmanship, Arc'teryx was quickly recognized as one of the most high-end outdoor brands, and it also brought usually expensive prices. . Almost every piece of Arc'teryx products can be described as works of art, and the garments have perfect functions and excellent details, giving outdoor users a full experience and perfect protection. Beta LT details and function introduction Jacket material Using GORE-TEX® Pro three-layer fabric and DWR long-lasting waterproof treatment, it has the characteristics of water repellency, breathability and wear resistance.

Hood design Using the COHAESIVE® adjustment system, the circular adjuster is hidden in the hood, while maintaining a minimalist appearance, you can easily press the adjuster to adjust the size of the hat even with gloves.

The brim of the hat is stiffer through the laminated design, and it has a function similar to a small hat, which can withstand light rain.

cuff The cuffs have a Velcro design for easy adjustment of the cuff size. pocket The outer pocket uses WaterTight and RS zipper pullers, which are highly water resistant but not completely waterproof. Try not to put things that are damaged by moisture in your pockets.

There is a pocket on the inside of the chest, which can store valuable items such as mobile phones and wallets

Internal design of the jacket

The internal stitching part is matched with an ultra-fine 8mm waterproof strip to prevent moisture from penetrating. Hem The adjustable drawstring is hidden on the inner edge of the hem, which can prevent cold wind from blowing in with a simple pull.

Measured experience ㄧ、Climate protection The first time I wore Arc'teryx Beta LT was to climb the mountain at the end of December 2019. At first, the sun was very big, and Beta LT did not feel stuffy and hot, but rather breathable and comfortable, and it also provided sun protection. It suddenly started to drizzle. In order to test the waterproofing ability of Gore-tex pro, I walked all the way with rain. During the process, I still occasionally patted the water drops on the jacket. It took more than three hours to reach the destination. The surface of the jacket was a little wet, but the inside was completely dry. It proves that its water repellency is not bad, but it still cannot completely replace the waterproof function of raincoats. However, because the Beta LT material is thinner, the wind and cold resistance are not as strong as the orange Alpha SV, but the advantage of this is that it is usually suitable for wearing in urban areas. I usually wear Beta LT to protect myself from the wind when I ride to and from get off work. There are devil felts on the cuffs to quickly adjust the size at red light to prevent wind from entering from the sleeves. The height of the neckline is just right for me to retract my face to block the wind. It is windproof and has sufficient air permeability, and the breath from the mouth will not cause the glasses to fog.

2. Breathability The three-layer Gore-tex waterproof outer layer of the Beta LT jacket is composed of a thinner 40D fabric. Even if you sweat a lot during walking, it will not be stuffy inside. The air permeability is good. However, Beta LT does not have a zipper design under the armpits, so if you go to the humid mountainous area for a long time, it will still be a bit stuffy. You need to unzip the front zipper to prevent the sweat from being stuffy. In fact, the jackets of the minimalist series of Archaeopteryx are all designed without underarm zippers (except Beta SL Hybrid). This is to make the weight lighter and the storage volume smaller. Therefore, Beta LT may not be a good choice for people who sweat easily and want higher air permeability. You can consider the Beta AR series with underarm zippers. 3. Weight and storage The 'LT' of Beta LT is the abbreviation of Lightweight, and it is truly light! The male model weighs 345g, while the female model is lighter only 315g. Beta LT series can be said to be the lightest Gortex pro jacket on the market. Another lighter Gortex pro option is Arc'teryx Alpha FL. The male model weighs 315g and the female model weighs only 295g, but this jacket only has one The chest pocket is more suitable for rock climbers than mountaineers.

The actual weight is lighter, only 309g! Beta LT does not have an extra storage bag, nor is it designed to fit into the chest pocket like the Cerium SV series. But it still belongs to a jacket that can be stored. The jacket can be easily rolled into the hood, and the elastic band can be tightened to make the jacket smaller, so that it can be easily put into the mesh pockets on both sides of the hiking backpack. Although it is not possible to buckle the Beta LT on the backpack, but regarding its weight and size, I feel that there is nothing to be wary of.

The stored size is just right on both sides of the backpack, and it can be quickly taken. Fourth, durability In order to reduce weight, the outerwear usually sacrifices durability. Beta LT uses relatively light and thin 40D fabric, but its durability and scratch resistance are still sufficient. When I used my hands and feet to climb a rock several times before, I could feel the coat rubbing against the rock, but I haven't seen any scratches or scratches after using it.

If you have sharp equipment (for example: trekking poles) or want a more scratch-resistant coat, you can consider the more wear-resistant 80D Beta AR or 100D Alpha SV series. The quality of the Archaeopteryx hard shell jacket is really good, and the feeling of wearing it can only be described as very comfortable and very safe. There are also many thoughtful designs, such as the use of a more comfortable suede fabric around the neck, a waterproof tape on the stitching part, and the use of a relatively strong material on the edge of the hat to avoid hanging down and obscuring the line of sight. advantage 1. Lightweight The weight is only more than 300 grams, no matter whether it is worn on the body or in a backpack, it does not feel any additional weight burden. 2. Waterproof It can withstand short-term light rain and the dew of the sword bamboo forest, but if it is exposed to rain for a long time, the surface of the coat will still seep and it cannot completely replace the raincoat. 3. Good wind resistance Beta LT's cuff Velcro, hem necking and proper neckline height are enough to withstand the cold wind blowing in when riding a motorcycle in winter. 4. Small storage volume The size of the hood after being stowed into the hood is about the same as a water bottle, and it can be easily put into the backpack without taking up too much space. 5. Convenient storage in pockets The pockets on both sides are really big and can hold a lot of things. The chest pocket can also hold more personal items (mobile phones, change), and the zipper can be pulled up to prevent things from falling out. 6. Retouch your figure The hem of the Beta LT jacket for women is slightly lengthened to modify the body shape and provide more complete protection. 7. The colors are bright and beautiful The color of the outer layer is to be brightly photographed to look good! Archaeopteryx also took this into consideration, so the colors provided are all eye-catching and easy to shoot. Disadvantage 1. Expensive Archaeopteryx's coat is really not cheap, but its quality, functionality, durability and subsequent service warranty are definitely worth the price. 2. Light color is easy to get dirty If you buy a brighter coat (like I bought fluorescent yellow), the stain will be more obvious and it may not be washable. 3. More difficult The cut of the Archaeopteryx is really three-dimensional, so when storing, you may feel that the coat is not evenly laid and it is a bit difficult to fold. 4. No underarm zipper design Because the main feature is light weight and convenient storage, the zipper design under the arms is omitted. But because of the high air permeability, I think it is acceptable without underarm zippers. to sum up Overall, Beta LT is my favorite jacket right now. Strong wind resistance, suitable for cycling to and from get off work, light weight, suitable for running in the park at night. The minimalist design does not feel obtrusive in urban activities, convenient storage, waterproof, wear-resistant and other characteristics are very suitable for holiday climbing. It's very versatile, which is why I wear it almost every day. When the weather is hot, I wear a short sleeve and put on Beta LT, which can protect the sun at the same time without feeling very stuffy. When the weather is cold, the Beta LT jacket has enough space for me to add a thicker middle layer to keep me warm. Beta LT is mainly designed for lightweight mountaineering and trekking activities. It is inevitable that it may not be functional or functional. At this time, it can be matched with other products of Archaeopteryx to complement each other and make climbing more comfortable. Here are several options for reference: For a lighter jacket, you can refer to the Beta SL series For more comprehensive functionality, you can refer to Beta AR series If you want stronger protection to adapt to extreme weather, you can refer to the Beta SV series The above are the advantages and disadvantages of Archaeopteryx Beta LT and the evaluation of actual wear!

Hilleberg brand story

Hilleberg tent measured experience, the top tent in the outdoor brand I believe everyone is no stranger to the outdoor brand Hilleberg. Hilleberg Hilleberg, which is famous in the mountain world, is like the LV of the fashion industry. Among them, the most famous tent series is its tunnel tent Anjan series. If the tent is a home in the forest, then the Anjan series is undoubtedly a single-family mansion! But the reality is cruel, not everyone can afford a luxury house, so consider the same exquisite villa in the elite area-Anaris series. Hilleberg brand story

Hilleberg Hilleberg has been voted as the best tent by the European industry in 1995. It is known as the king of European tents. The most well-known one is the tunnel tent Anjan series, but Hilleberg is actually the first The keb series sold by Ding Commercial is also the first tent in the world that combines the inside and outside of the tent. The tent’s inner tent and canopy are integrated into one design, which is convenient for erection and shortens the erection time. The prototype of Anaris Mountain Lodge is from Keb, which can be said to be the classic of the classics! Why Hilleberg, which is not cheap in the tent market, can stand so unwaveringly, and there will still be Shanyou investing in this brand of tents? Hilleberg uses six basic principles to build the best functional tent, namely reliability, adaptability, ease of use, durability and comfort. Even if it achieves the ultimate lightweight, it will not reduce the six major tents. High performance. Hilleberg color code system explanation

In 2013, in order to make it easier for consumers to choose the right tent, Hilleberg integrated four 'color label' tents: black label, red label, yellow label or blue label. Each color code represents a category distinguished by the material or structure of each tent. In the yellow label family, in addition to the original Anjan and Rogen, new members Anjan GT and Anaris have also been added. Black label The most durable series, suitable for all users in all seasons, any environment. The black mark indicates the easiest tent series to use, and it is also very suitable for novices to engage in high-intensity expeditions. Red label The four-season tent has an absolute advantage in lightweight and still has a bright performance in terms of strength. Suitable for users who value lightweight and are willing to sacrifice a little comfort and strength Yellow label Give priority to lightweight groups, suitable for use in warm and snow-free environments. Suitable for users who prioritize lightweight and are willing to sacrifice a little comfort and strength Blue label Tent with special needs and specifications Four advantages and disadvantages of Hilleberg Anaris 1. Lightweight

Hilleberg Anaris belongs to the ridge tent (also known as the A-type tent), this tent is not self-supporting, so the whole tent does not have a skeleton (camp column), but uses trekking poles and camp nails to build the tent, eliminating the overall tent of the camp column The weight is lighter again! If it is an A-shaped tent supported by a trekking pole, it can also be called a pyramid tent, while Anaris is a trekking pole at the front and rear doors, which is built up like a ridge. The traditional A-type tent is an early boy scout tent, so it is heavier, but Anaris Mountain Lodge completely overcomes this shortcoming! The Anaris mountain hut is regarded as the rising star of Hilleberg, just like the SE of the iPhone series. The sparrow is small but has all the internal organs. It is the thinnest and lightest of the Hilleberg series of tents. It contains only 1.4 kg of internal and external tents + camp nails. What is the concept of 1.4 kg? It is about the weight of a Mac Book Pro 13-inch laptop. What's more, this tent is still the most intimate in the Hilleberg series! Speaking of the word flimsy, it sounds fragile at first glance, but Hilleberg is most proud of the extremely strong Kerlon fabric. Kerlon fabric has three layers of 100% silicon coating, which is completely waterproof and lighter. So even if it’s light and thin, don’t underestimate it. The yellow label Anaris tent fabric is Kerlon 1000, with a tear resistance of 10kg. The common tent fabrics on the market, especially those with polyester coating, have a strength of only 2. To 3kg. The black label tent uses Kerlon 1800 fabric, and the minimum tear strength reaches 18kg; the blue label tent uses Kerlon 2000 fabric, and the tear resistance is 20kg; Kerlon 1200 fabric is used on the red label tent, and the strength reaches 12kg. Kerlon 1000 and Kerlon 600 have strengths of 10kg and 6kg respectively. They are used in all Hilleberg tents. Among the lightest yellow-label tents, most of the tents are designed with three-season tents. 2. Two-pronged ventilation and wind resistance

Ventilation The inner tent of Anaris is made of breathable gauze material, which makes the air flow smoother. It is suitable for all three seasons. The stability of this kind of non-self-supporting tent relies heavily on trekking poles and camp nails. In sunny and mild suburbs with shelter, the camp nails should not be full, leaving a little height gap to help air circulation; on the contrary When the wind speed is strong or even the weather is not good, it is highly recommended that the nails must be fully loaded so that your home will not be blown off. Intimate reminder: No matter what the tent is, if the camp nails are not full, don't step on it! Hilleberg's camp nails are actually divided into strength, if you think you want stronger camp nails, you can go here Shop around. Anaris is a detachable tent with inner and outer tents. The advantage of connecting the inner and outer tents is that when you are in strong wind, you can quickly set up the tent. Hilleberg also used tunnel tents at a speed of 100 per hour. Tested in strong winds of kilometers! In addition to the four-legged camp rope, the front and rear doors of the tent can be fixed with trekking poles, and there are also camp ropes on the top, which can be pulled down under strong winds to make the tent more stable and have better wind resistance. Off-topic ~ Non-self-supporting tents also have the advantage that no matter how strong the wind is, there is no need to worry about the camp pillars being blown crooked. If the self-supporting tents are set up for a long time, the camp pillars are blown crooked, but it will be bad! 3. Spatial

In addition to the weight of the tent, space is also a condition that many mountain friends care about. In terms of space, the Anaris climbing tent has three major features: a double-door system, a double vestibule, and a zero-frame storage. Two-door system-when you first started camping, the rented tent was a single door, and you had to wait for entry and exit. If it is a multi-person account, it is acceptable because of the large space, but if it is a tent for 2-3 people, the entire It's very small. Later, after I started climbing the mountain, I realized that the tents are also made of double doors! I personally think that double doors are the kingly way, just like a car, only one door is really annoying. On the mountain, every second counts. When I arrive at the camping site and set up a tent, I will go into my den immediately. Waiting for any second will make the whole uncomfortable. You don’t have to wait for the double doors. You can spread your sleeping bag back to back with the mountain friends and inflate. Sleeping mats don’t need to be crowded at all. Because of the double doors, your feet can stretch out of the tent comfortably. The whole VIP feel is here.

Double vestibules-The most annoying thing about hiking or camping is rainy days, because cooking can become troublesome. If there is a canopy, it's okay, but like me and Matt climbing the mountain, we are not taking the canopy, because we take the lightweight route, and one more thing is one more weight, NO! (But I want to buy it recently, because the windshield is very useful haha). When there is no sky and it rains, the double vestibule is really an invention of the Buddha's mind. Just like a home with a courtyard, you have an extra space to put your belongings. On the mountain, you can put hiking bags in the vestibule. Don’t let the rain wet your bag; you can cook in the forecourt and prevent the strong wind from disturbing your hair. It seems like a concept of a protective cover, giving you the most perfect protection!

Zero-frame storage-As mentioned earlier, A-type tents like Anaris are mainly built by trekking poles and camp nails, so the weight of the camp pillar is basically reduced. In addition, this tent has a design that integrates the inner and outer tents. Do not disassemble it when collecting the account. Fold it in half and then fold it into the bag. It is very convenient and fast to store. And if you have good storage skills, you can have Help reduce storage volume. Then when you open the tent next time, just put down the four-legged camp nails and prop up the trekking poles to set up the tent. Isn’t it very fast? 4. Diversity I talked about the fast-deteriorating internal and external tents, and it also provides the diversity of Hilleberg Anaris tents. There are as many as six ways to build a tent alone, so many people think you have six tents! Having finished talking about the advantages above, then I will share with you what we think needs to be improved! 1. Large area

Anaris is a two-person account, but the required floor space is about the size of a three-person account. So if you usually go to a very popular hiking route, you need to find a larger place to camp. But to put it another way, the large area actually means that Anaris has more space in terms of double tents, especially the vestibule! 2. Building skills

It was written earlier that if the internal and external tents are not opened, the next time you use the tent will be very fast, but the premise is that you have experience and feel after multiple operations, and you can quickly set up after practice makes perfect. But in fact, most people use self-supporting tents (with skeletons), so if they are used to self-supporting tents, suddenly changing to this kind of camping nails and camp ropes will require a little adaptation period. For example, we spent some time studying where the camp nails should be placed, how to tighten the camp ropes, how high the height of the trekking poles should be adjusted... and other issues, and if in a strong wind environment, we need to constantly confirm that the camp rope is enough It’s not tight enough and the camp nails are not full enough. After all, it’s like a self-supporting tent (with a skeleton). Even if your camp nails fly off, the overall tent structure will still be intact; but if it’s a non-self-supporting tent (without skeleton, relying on trekking poles and camping poles). Nail), if it falls, it will be rebuilt. It is recommended that if you buy a non-self-supporting tent, you can try to build it in a suitable place such as a suburban mountain or a camping area before going up the mountain, so that you will not feel rushed to set up for the first time after going up the mountain, especially for novices, because you will be very broken. 3. Eat terrain

Since Anaris is built on trekking poles and camp nails, it is more suitable for building on soft soil. If you want to build on hard soil, it will be a little harder to nail it; if you want to build on a concrete floor, make sure that the weather is not bad enough to blow away your home, please take a big rock and press it down! 4. High barriers to entry As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Hilleberg is the LV of the fashion industry, so it is assumed that the price of tents is not cheap, so most mountain friends want (need), but hesitated to see the price. But it has to be said that Hilleberg is made in Europe, hand-made, and the materials are the best, so it really gets what you pay for. Of course, if you are a novice, like a newcomer who just came out of society, I sincerely suggest that you can buy an elementary tent first. When you are sure to fall in love with camping, camping, mountain climbing, etc., you will use tents for outdoor activities. In the future, consider whether to rush to the highest level. If you are a beginner and love outdoor sports, just like a motivated social person who has just left society for 3-5 years and has little savings and is full of energy, I suggest you rent and try Hilleberg’s tent, just like you Buying a car will test it, and you will know its goodness after sitting in a Tesla. The tent should also be tested! Like it, fall in love at first sight, it is necessary, you can start planning to save money to buy it If you are a veteran, those with experience usually know how to enjoy pulling. If you feel right, you have assessed that it meets your needs, and you can place an order with your eyes closed! Hilleberg Hilleberg Anaris Five Ways

Ridge The ridge style, the inner tent and the outer tent are combined, and the overall shape is like a ridge. The method of setting up the mind: the camp nails must be full and the camp rope must be tightened to look good. If it is not tightened, the tent will look loose and wrinkled! Timing: when sleeping, when the wind is heavy and rainy. Half house Half-house style, pull up one side of the tent, revealing half a small house, the vernacular is half-house style Set-up method: turn the tent from the left to the right, the camp rope can be put on the right camp nails, no need to hit again. Timing: Set up camp in the woods in the hot summer. The sun rises and the temperature gradually rises. Pull up half of the tent for ventilation, and there are trees to block the sun to prevent too much exposure.

Chalet style In the style of a wooden house, the doorways on both sides of the front courtyard are rolled up, and the inner tents are subtlely exposed. The outer tents are like the roof, and are as lovely as small wooden houses in the mountains and forests. Set-up method: roll up from top to bottom, and fix it with the buckle on the tent. If you roll it up randomly, the rolled up vestibule will hang down! Timing: When you want to take a beautiful photo of a mountain hut

Transparent Through the sky, pull up the bilateral outer tents, showing the entire inner tent, the whole is breathable and fresh Set-up method: roll up the tents neatly on the roof ridge separately. If you close it in disorder, it will be messy, so you must roll it up neatly. After finishing, tie a knot at the end of the roof, or bring your own rope The tent is tied and fixed, and it will look cute when taken from the front. Set up time: When you want to sunbathe in the mountains and forests. Cover type Cover type, separate the inner and outer tents, and use the outer tents as a kind of canopy The method of setting up the mind: remove the inner tent and set up the outer tent, and there is a doorway on this canopy! Turn on and off Set-up time: when you want to blend in with nature, single-day wild river hot spring itinerary Camping experience

I borrowed this tent from a friend, but we didn't know that there was a thunderstorm in the afternoon. We arrived at the scene and waited for the rain to stop, and hurriedly set up Anaris in full swing.

The first step of the construction is to fix the four-legged inner tent with camp nails, and then insert the trekking pole into the camp column cover of the outer tent. It can be seen from the photo that this double tent needs a large hinterland, and the foreign tent has not been fixed at this time. In addition, we agreed that at least two people are required to build together, and it will be a bit hard for one person to build!

The trekking poles need to be the same height on both sides. In this way, the tent can be stretched tightly and beautifully.

Anaris' tent can also be used as a sort of canopy. If the weather is too hot and you want to ventilate, you can prop up the tent and tie it to the tree with camp ropes. There is gauze in the inner tent, which can speed up air circulation. It is a tent that can have various changes. Because it was too late to arrive at the destination, the larger camp in the hinterland was already full of people, so I found a smaller camp in the hinterland, so Anaris could still build it, but it was slightly crowded.

The super large vestibule, 160cm tall, my feet can be fully straightened, and there is plenty of space for a camping chair, hiking bag, and cooking in the vestibule when it rains!

The space in Anaris is big and cool. After a day's sleep like this, we feel that this double tent has no problem if we have to sleep three people (visual inspection, in fact, we haven't tried it). If two people sleep in a spacious room, they will not disturb the friends next door if they turn over. However, our previous tents had storage bags. This one is not so I am a little uncomfortable. If there are storage bags equipped with storage, it will be more systematic.

When you get up in the morning when the sun is in the sun, it will not get too hot. It may be because there are trees blocking it and there is no direct sunlight. In addition, we forgot to bring sleeping bags when we went to bed at night, but it was not as cold as we imagined, and we thought that the windshield effect was good. Of course, if it is a strong wind without shelter, you must test again~

Summarizing the thoughts of this equipment test: Anaris' advantage is that the space is super-explosive, and the top gauge of the tent material is waterproof, wind-resistant and tear-resistant. Although Anaris is the cheapest and only discounted tent in the Hilleberg series, I believe that the unit price is still high for users. What I like most is that the Anaris external tent can be used as a canopy-like design, which can be used in different occasions at any time, as well as the super large vestibule and internal tent space. The above is what we share about Anaris Mountain Lodge. We hope to help you get to know the brand of Hilleberg and Anaris Mountain Lodge. There is no need to buy any equipment, the important thing is the equipment that suits you and your favorite.
