NO FEE AND ARE NEVER
OVERCROWDED. HOWEVER,
THEY’RE NOT VERY EASY
TO REACH EITHER.
On our 6-day Pindus tour we actually wanted to spend every night
in our tents //
But it ended up being only three. We spent the
other nights in the valley hostels of the Zagorian villages and
at the Astraki lodge. And this was certainly very enjoyable:
the food served at the hostels is simply delicious. And the
stories about wolves, bears and ski tours told to us by the
landlord of the Astraki lodge were just as fascinating. But the
nights we spent camping outdoors were really the icing on
the cake. The first “campsite” was located down in the Vikos
Canyon in the middle of a field of flowers at the springs of
the Voidomatis, the second around 1500 metres above that
directly by the legendary Dragon Lake.
According to the legend there is a dragon slumbering at the
bottom of the Drakolimni Lake. Of course we didn’t get to
see it, but we did spot its “children”: little dragon-like alpine
newts. At this mystical place we pitched up our tents as the
sun was setting and set up a campfire using the little flamma-
ble material that we could find in this barren landscape. And
just by chance we happened to find a bottle of wine in one of
our rucksacks. What more could a hiker want? Well, perhaps
more sleep: our trekking dog Flora howled like a wolf all night
long. But that’s already the beginning of another story.

OUR OWN LAKE-
SIDE RESIDENCE.
WITH FIRE, DRA-
GONS AND GREEK
WINE. PARADISE
FOR EVERY
OUTDOOR FAN.
OUR FIRST CHOICE IS TO SLEEP DIRECTLY UNDER THE
STARS, BUT THE TATONKA KIRUNA IS OUR SECOND.
Our favourite tent is extremely light, can be pitched up quickly and is very cosy //
In other words: you should only share the
Kiruna
with very close friends. If you’d prefer more privacy you should go for a medium-sized, large or extra large model, like
the
Family Camp
. This huge tunnel tent may not be very easy to carry around, but it offers many other benefits. For example
a spacious sleeping area, a standing-height porch and three entrances – one for every camper, which is something you don’t
even have at home.
Another one of our favourites is the three-man tent (or two-man luxury tent)
Alaska 3 Vent
, which excellently proved itself
to be a great base camp in boiling hot Greece. It offers plenty of storage space and numerous ventilation openings. For a feeling
that you’re sleeping under the stars – with a clear advantage: no mosquitoes! The
TATONKA
product developers were deter-
mined to keep these annoying little bugs at bay, which is why they fitted this model with an additional mosquito net inner tent.
So even when your tent is fully ventilated, you’ll still be protected from mosquito attacks.

The new ground sheets from
TATONKA
are made of the same material
as our tent bases, which means that your equipment can be stored in
the porch and it will stay clean, safe and dry.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TENTS
Guy ropes //
Guy ropes help to make your tent stable when it’s blowing a gale and rain-
ing cats and dogs. The advantage of
TATONKA
tents is that they have a roll-up system for
guy ropes, which makes taking them down a lot easier and prevents knots. For better
visibility in the dark the ropes have refl ective sleeves.
Pockets //
Pockets offer storage space and help you to keep your tent tidy. Side pockets at
head height (when lying down) are perfect for storing items such as spectacles. Almost
all of our tents with porch have an additional detachable porch pocket and a roof pocket
for sunglasses, insect spray or other odds and ends.
Tent pegs
Guy ropes
Porch //
The porch is the storage space for luggage in the tent between the inner tent
and the entrance. A clean and dry storage space for everything that you don’t need
inside the inner tent.
Ground sheets //
Ground sheets protect the base of the tent from damages caused by
stones, branches, etc., and also fend off cold and wetness for a long time. The ground
sheet should not be bigger than the guyed outer tent, to avoid funnel effects. Porch
ground sheets make the porch a clean and dry storage space, even when the weather is
bad and the ground is damp.
Entrances //
TATONKA
inner tent entrances are wide and simple to use. Mosquito win-
dows that can be closed separately and easily with one hand are basic features. When
the tent is open the entrance section can be stowed away in the side pocket or rolled up
and secured.
Frame
UV radiation //
Tent materials, especially the outer fabric, are subject to an ageing process
and lose their resistance over time. The main cause of this is UV radiation. Tents with
silicone coating are far more resistant than those with PU coating. So it’s best to choose
a shady spot to pitch up your tent to avoid any risks.
Frame //
In order to be able to set up the tent, we use – depending on the tent category –
two different aluminium alloys. Both variations are highly break-proof. The individual
segments are hollow, inside is a fi xed rubber band onto which the segments are attached
in the right order like beads on a necklace and can be easily inserted into one another.
Vents
Pockets
Water column //
The water column is a measure of how high the water pressure can be
before the fabric lets in moisture. According to DIN, a value of 1500 mm is classifi ed as
waterproof. But a water column measurement is not always a sign of quality. The outer
tents of our high-end series with 1500 mm have a much lower water column than our
all-round tents (8000 mm) – but their special coating means that drops of water drip off
immediately and therefore guarantees a 100% watertight surface.
TATONKA
ground sheets
have a water column of 10,000 mm (all-round) or 8000 mm (high-end).
Tent pegs //
There are different tent pegs for different types of ground. Our tents come
with standard pegs. You can purchase special tent pegs for particularly sandy, hard or
stony ground, or even snow.
Entrances
Vents //
Vents are covered openings in the outer skin of the tent, which provide air
circulation. They are separately tensioned and waterproof. Thanks to a stiff fabric band
TATONKA
vents can be positioned easily, even after intense use. Mosquito windows and
tension points are standard features on our tents; vents that can be closed from the
inside are available exclusively in our high-end collection.
4 TRUTHS ABOUT TENTS
Of course every camping enthusiast wishes that their latest purchase is 100% dry inside, will last a lifetime and survive the years without any damage. Tents from
TATONKA
are top class and are produced with high-quality workmanship,
but we don’t want to keep the following four truths from you:
1
2
3
4
Truth 1 //
There is no such thing as 100% water-
proof tents. A tent is made from a combination
of different materials and parts. Depending on
their construction, not all seams can be joined
to make them waterproof, and water can also
penetrate through zip fasteners, and condensation
is supposed to be channelled away via openings
in the tent.
Truth 2 //
Tents don’t last a lifetime. All materials
age. Especially when they’re subjected to tough
weather conditions and UV rays. Tips on the
right way to deal with external infl uences can
be found in the Tent-ABC and the
TATONKA
Tent
Handbook.
Truth 3 //
Even in good tents there will be conden-
sation. The formation of condensation is a physical
process, which cannot be prevented in tents. Tips
on minimising condensation can be found in the
TATONKA
Tent Handbook.
Truth 4 //
Aluminium poles break. If they are not
handled or stored properly, or if too much force is
applied, even aluminium poles will be damaged.
This is why you should always take at least one
repair sleeve with you when you go camping.

If you pay attention to the “Care and Repair” tips here in the catalogue or in even more detail in the
TATONKA
Tent Handbook, you will be able to en-
joy your
TATONKA
tent for a very long time to come. And of course we can also offer you the professional
TATONKA
repair service for our tents. Within
the bounds of feasibility.

Clear and simple //
To help make your
search for a tent as simple as possi-
ble, we have allocated the tents on the
following product pages the following
explanatory symbols shown below.
TENT TYPES – EVERY FORM HAS ITS ADVANTAGES
With tunnel, dome and geodesic,
TATONKA
offers three types of tent, each with its own advantages:
Dome tents / Geodesic tents //
These types of tent are designed to be self-supporting. They get
their shape from the frame arches, which cross at one or – for geodesics – at several points.
The construction is similar to a hemisphere and offers a high to very high stability in stormy
weather and snow. The floor area of a dome tent is smaller than comparable tunnel tents. This
is why they are particularly suitable for rocky and mountainous regions. They also require
fewer tent pegs. In warm weather the inner tent can be also erected on its own and offers an
airy and mosquito-free place to sleep.
Weights: The weights stated are the mini-
mum weight (inner and outer tent, guy rope
plus five pegs) and the delivery weight
(delivered tent).
Dimensions: Height × Width × Depth when
pitched up and when packaged.
Tunnel tents //
This type of tent is supported by at least two frame arches positioned parallel
to one another. They have to be fixed lengthways, so that the tent holds its tunnel shape.
Of all the tent types, tunnel models offer the best use of space. Or in other words: in relation
to their size, tunnel tents are relatively light. The inner and outer tents are connected with
one another, which means that they can be pitched up quickly and easily. Plenty of space and
the fact that they can be simply put up and dismantled make tunnel tents the best choice for
regions with inconsistent weather. When they are erected properly (with the narrow side fac-
ing the wind), tunnel tents are highly resistant to gusts and gales.

CARE AND REPAIR
OF YOUR TENT
Max. no. of sleeping places
hasn’t been raining. Condensation occurs in
all weathers, regardless of where the tent is
pitched and what kind of tent it is.
//
Never
wash
your tent in the washing
machine.
//
Never
clean your tent with anything stronger
than a simple soap solution and never with
chemical products. Always make sure you
leave your tent to dry properly after use.
//
Where possible pitch your tent in the
shade
.
UV radiation will speed up the ageing process
and can considerably shorten the lifespan of
your tent.
//
Always use a
ground sheet
with your tent.
This protects the base material from wear and
tear and keeps it water-tight for longer.
//
After every use,
check
that the tent, poles
and accessories are complete, and make sure
there are no damages. Make any necessary
repairs preferably straight after your trip to
ensure you don’t forget anything.
// Replacement parts
can be purchased from
specialist retailers.
