Muddus

The Muddus is a highly practical, highly versatile blend of old school simplicity and new school modular design.

Tent Profile

Inspired by the very first Hilleberg tent, the Keb, the Muddus is as simple as it is flexible. Its traditional two-pole ridge design is roomy, stable, very easy to pitch, and trekking poles can be substituted for its regular ones, making it ideally suited for mobile adventures, where you pitch and strike your tent every day. Since its modular components can be configured as tent, tarp, wind break, solo shelter, or as part of a multi-tent complex, it is ideal for below tree line use in all seasons, and especially so for group trips. With some care and planning, it can also be used very effectively for above tree line use, even in harsh conditions. For these situations, its exceptionally strong Kerlon SP outer tent fabric gives the Muddus a distinct advantage over many other straight-pole, pyramidal shaped tents.

Who uses the Muddus?

The Muddus’ modularity has gained quite a following with a diverse assortment of backcountry travelers. Scout troops benefit from its cost effective group handling capability, families appreciate its ability to be configured into multiple bedroom housing, and hunters and military units relish in its profound simplicity and versatility. It is also highly popular with users who do multiple activities, year round, since it can be used as, say, a lightweight tarp on a backpacking trip, as a full tent on a paddle touring excursion or a long ski tour, and somewhere between the two on a weekend bicycle jaunt.

Why Choose The Muddus?

It is wonderfully simple to use, and it offers excellent value, since it can be used in so many ways and in so many different situations. As such, it is ideal for almost any activity, year ‘round.

§ The Muddus, with its classic two straight pole ridge design and linked inner and outer tents, is very easy to set up.

§ Kerlon SP outer tent fabric is remarkably robust.

§ Trekking poles – or even branches – can be used in place of the standard support poles.

§ Pitching requires only a few pegs, yet there are plenty of extra points for increasing stability.

§ Modular construction lets you use the Muddus as a lightweight tarp with walls (by taking only the outer tent), a full tent, a basic solo shelter (by zipping two vestibules together), or as part of an interconnected, multi-space habitat.

§ The Muddus Base Version has plenty of room for two, thanks to its large floor space, and generous vestibules.

§ Its two entrances and two vestibules afford tremendous convenience and comfort.

§ One entrance of the tent can always be situated out of the wind.

§ The Muddus’ ventilation works in all conditions, since both the inner tent fabric is highly breathable yet water repellent, and the inner tent doors have full no-see-um mesh panels covered with equal sized, zipper-adjustable fabric panels. The lower part of the main roof can be rolled up for increased air flow, and, in mild weather, the vestibules can be removed for maximum venting and viewing opportunities.
