A loue (or loude) is an ultra-light Finnish open tent used to give shelter from wind and rain during rest stops or over-night camping during hikes. Loues are popular as one or two person shelters because they are compact, light (2.2 lbs or 1 kg) and can be set up and taken down quickly. A loue consists of a roughly conical section of fabric with the bottom edge grounded by stakes and the tip raised with a single pole.

  • A loue (or loude) is an ultra-light Finnish open tent used to give shelter from wind and rain during rest stops or over-night camping during hikes. Loues are popular as one or two person shelters because they are compact, light (2.2 lbs or 1 kg) and can be set up and taken down quickly. A loue consists of a roughly conical section of fabric with the bottom edge grounded by stakes and the tip raised with a single pole. Young trees may be used temporarily to suspend the fabric without doing permanent damage. It's possible to use a camp fire for warmth and cooking, provided that the loue is upwind. In the summertime, a mosquito net may be used for comfort.
