Hawu Eräteltta
Hawu Eräteltta* is an innovative stove-heated shelter from Finland. The founding idea was to erect the tent around a living tree. This idea resulted in a tent, which is practical for versatile uses for hikers, scouts, and troops that seek a durable and portable shelter in harsh conditions. Hawu delivers quite a different experience as compared with traditional troop tents. It is designed to serve various outdoors groups, such as scouts, hikers, canoeists, and hobbyists.
[* pronunciation of the Finnish letter ‘ä’ is similar to ‘a’ in the word ‘that’]
Enjoy the scenery
The open-sided structure makes the scenery enter your tent. Enjoying it at the radiating heat from the stove is simply unforgettable.
Set under a tree
Hawu Eräteltta can be erected under a living tree utilising the tree as the centre support. The tent wraps around the tree like a skirt.
Go hiding
The possibility to use one tree as the centre pole gives the tent a superior natural camouflage making it difficult to spot from tight forests – in case you want to go hiding.
Split the burden
Hawu Eräteltta can be split in two thus making it a light load that can be shared by two persons. One only has to carry half of the weight of the full tent.
Quick and easy
Hawu Eräteltta features straps common in back bags. These make erecting and tightening the tent very quick and easy even by one person.
