Backcountry camping, although memorable and amazing, does come with a unique set of challenges.
By choosing the path less travelled, you’re also choosing a little less comfort and a lot more gear.
Which can be expensive, to say the least.
Fortunately, there is a new way to explore the off-the-beaten-path without being bogged down by tons of gear (or breaking the bank).
Based in the Fraser Valley, Tipella Backcountry crafts affordable, comfortable, and state-of-the-art camping tents and accessories that will help you excel in any backcountry environment. The local company’s Whipsaw Roof Top Tents (RTTs ) in particular are exactly what you need to adapt and thrive in literally any outdoor environment. Designed with heavy-duty fabric and anti-condensation matting, these tents can withstand the absolute harshest of Pacific North West conditions, no matter the location or time of year. They come in a variety of sizes, colours and are even backed by a 2-year warranty.
If you're looking to take your backcountry comfort to the next level, the company’s Sylvester RTT is the way to go. Protected by a flat, aluminum hard case, the Sylvester is perfect for hauling and protecting gear, installing solar panels, and providing more storage on your adventures. The tent’s dual-channel mounting system allows for easy installation and the whole unit only weighs 187 pounds. While that’s all well and good, it also has the bonus of a sleek design. In fact, the interior of the Sylvester is as stylish as it is functional with its minimalist, black-on-black aesthetic, 4.5 cm high-density foam mattress, and mounted exterior and interior USB lights, which can be adjusted from bright white to cool white, and soft white.
Of course, no RTT setup is complete without some stellar accessories. To protect against all of mother nature's conditions, Tipella Backcountry also carries a durable tent awning and cocoon insulation kit, which will help you stay warm and cozy well into the winter months. Tipella also offers a range of camping essentials ranging from LED lanterns to foldable aluminum tables and carabiners.
The only thing we love more than great camping gear is a local company that gives back to the community from which it came. That’s why we were extra excited to hear that Tipella Backcountry sponsors Cleaner Lakes, a local initiative that organizes volunteer scuba and free divers to help clean up polluted lakes. Since 2013, Cleaner Lakes has removed thousands of pounds of garbage from polluted bodies of water in the Fraser Valley.
