One Man. One Month. One Tent.
How the Kraken 1 Conquered Norway’s Autumn Winds
In the autumn of 2025, adventurer Sajid Chougle embarked on the Moto bike camping tour across Norway — a one-month expedition that stitched together forests, fjords, mountains, and coastlines. Armed with only what he could carry, Sajid relied on two pieces of gear to get him through the cold nights and unpredictable weather: the Gipfel Kraken 1 Tent and the Cora +14°C Sleeping Bag.
The days were long and varied. He pedaled through endless stretches of pine forest, camped on ridgelines where the horizon seemed infinite, drank crystal-clear water from waterfalls, kayaked across wide rivers, and trekked over rugged mountain passes. Autumn in Norway is stunning — but it’s also a test. Rain sweeps in without warning, temperatures drop quickly after sunset, and winds can go from gentle whispers to full-force gales in minutes.
Through every challenge, his Gipfel gear delivered.
The Cora Sleeping Bag kept him comfortable and warm after exhausting days, and the Kraken 1 Tent gave him a dry, secure shelter to recover for the next push.
Sajid is 6 feet tall, a height that often makes ultralight tents feel cramped. And while lightweight tents usually demand compromises in space, the Kraken 1 surprised him — providing enough room to stretch out and sit up without feeling boxed in. For a solo traveler covering long distances, that comfort made a big difference.
One night, a fierce storm rolled through camp. Winds howled, branches snapped, and fellow campers whispered their concerns: Could such a lightweight tent really hold up? The Kraken 1 not only withstood the onslaught, it flexed with the gusts, shedding wind like a seasoned mountaineer. Inside, Sajid slept undisturbed, dry, and warm.
After nearly a month of hiking, and paddling through Norway’s autumn wilderness, Sajid had zero doubts left.
The Kraken 1 wasn’t just gear — it was a trusted companion that made his journey possible.
Because when the wild tests your limits, Gipfel stands with you.
