Matti & Stina - JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA

We are Matti and Stina and we live year-round in Jokkmokk, North of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland with a bunch of Siberian Huskies and 2 Border collies.
We run Jokkmokkguiderna which is a small lifestyle company (the two of us and our dogs) that offers guided outdoor tours. During winter we mostly run dog sled tours and summertime it's canoe, hiking tours and wildlife safaris.

Since the Corona pandemic hit us all in spring 2020 we´ve started to post videos more frequently here on KZread to try to share our life, knowledge and somehow move the adventure to you instead of your physical self to the adventure.
We really like to share our life and experiences with you all but it takes a lot of time to produce videos.
If you like to support us and help us to be able to produce more videos we would be very grateful!
You can support us either on Buy Me A Coffee, Patreon or PayPal, see links below

Welcome to join us!
Stina & Matti and all the doggies

    I love this review. I can see where it would fall short. It looks awesome to me but it is a good reminder that if I want a perfect tent for desert camping it may not work for the mountains. I may need two 😅

    This and cupper spur was two of the tents I looked at when i bought my tent….I went with the opposite a 4kg heavy HB Staika since I bring my kids and they want the ”secure” feeling of ”closing the door”. Also I will use the tent for kayak so I need a self supporting tent and weight is not an issue. First night in the tent last night, temperature drop from 24->17 degrees and rain but no wind so we got rather much condensation on the inside of the outer tent but nothing on the inner tent. But I was happy for getting the HB and not the BA.

    Excellent review,. You covered all the points. I, for one, want my tent pegs to stay in the round all night so I normally put a heavy rock on top of each peg. Never have I had to get out of my tent at night to re stake a peg that has pulled out of the ground. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada.

    I bought that tent from REI used, the zipper had come apart. I was able to get it back together but that zipper is a known weakpoint on the Tigerwall, so be careful opening and closing it. I rubbed candlewax along the teeth to lubricate it and it works better.

    This is a very good review that highlights some of the sacrifices that a user has to make to have an ultralight tent. Where I live we can go months without rain and wind is pretty predictable so a tent like the Tiger Wall can be a great choice. It can also be very warm, even at higher altitude, so the more mesh the better. One thing I'd like to mention is that I camp on sandstone sometimes and it is like sand paper. It will rub a hole through even a heavy backpacking tent floor eventually, so I prefer a lighter tent floor with a footprint that I can replace easily. I use a SOL brand emergency blanket for the footprint because they are cheap and relatively durable. Great video Matti.

    @@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Minimum weight is 1.9 kg without spare rod and extras. 2.2 kg with everything. But then there is a 3 person Rogen weighing 2.2 kg stripped down. I use Enan for extreme light trips, Unna for solo winter trips and Rogen 2 for solo summer trips. Air flow is important in summer, something Rogen can provide even when raining, I just leave the entrances closed half way even in rain.

    I have this tent in the ultralight dynema version. I cut those little triangles so I could close the two zippers together. I sent the tent to a repair place to add an upper zipper on the interior so I could look out. On my version the whole interior is thin solid fabric. I had the repair people add mesh to the upper door so I could see out at all in good weather. I stake the back corner fly on a separate stake from the inner. After all this the tent is functional and very light. I took it on the first part of the Kungsleden. The tent was not adequate for the wind. I had to use trekking poles to support it under the fly. There are not adequate upper level tie outs. Strings tied to the roll up loops just ripped off. The trekking pole handle ripped through the fly so I had to tape it during the night. Nonetheless I stayed dry more or less. Most other people in heavier tents bailed out to the warming hut. You can be creative to make an ultralight tent work but you may destroy the tent in the process. I have given up on the tiger wall except under very mild conditions and when is mildness guaranteed? I’m still looking for the perfect tent that is lightweight…

    I guess a big problem also is when one try to put up the tent when it rains. The inner tent must be built before the outer tent. On my Hilleberg the poles is on the outside of the outer tent. Because of that I can build the outer tent to get shelter and still have a dry inner tent. Thanks for the reviews from a Skåning.

I felt in love with my five huskys and was crying when I had to leave them, they are so beautiful and lovely dogs. Now I'm looking forward for the wildlife expedition in september and for my first winter in Lapland. Martine
