HILLEBERG AMBASSADOR: 360-DEGREE EXPLORER Milosz Pierwola FROM COURT TO POLAR ADVENTURES

Milosz Pierwola once thought that his passion for exploration was just a fantasy and that his life should be spent in a courtroom, working as a lawyer. However, at the age of 29, he realized that if he wanted to achieve his goal of exploring the most remote areas of the earth, he could no longer sit in a climate-controlled office.

So, in 2013, he gave up his career and original lifestyle and devoted himself to exploring the world without hesitation. In the same year, he graduated from NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) and participated in polar expedition training on the frozen Lake Winnipeg by world record holders Eric Larsen and Ryan Waters during the 2014 Canadian Winter Polar Vortex. Got my first real harsh environment experience and first exposure to Hilleberg tents.

Using a Hilleberg tent is an inevitable choice in such an environment. Dangerously low temperatures, strong winds, ice and snow, and complete whiteout conditions require equipment to be durable and easy to operate, as there is a risk of frostbite once exposed skin comes into contact with the environment. Therefore, all adventure gear must be able to operate under heavy gloves, extreme pressure, and withstand the harshest of natural challenges. Eric shows how to quickly set up a Hilleberg tent: just unfold, connect two poles and secure the ropes. In addition, the ventilated design of the tent and the built-in hanging tent create a micro-environment that not only effectively reduces moisture condensation generated by the human body and breathing, but also provides significant comfort. Even when the wind suddenly changes direction in the middle of the night and tent poles and fabrics are put to the test, the Hilleberg tent remains rock solid, and rotating the tent to face the wind takes just a few minutes.

In his own adventures, Milosz uses Akto tents. This tent has been tested in many harsh environments and has proven to be durable, spacious, efficient and pleasant to look at. “My Akto still looks the same today as when I first got it, with almost no wear and tear. I’m very much looking forward to having it accompany me to my next destination.”

In 2015, Milosz founded a project called World in 360 in New York, which uses 360-degree cameras to record adventures and adventures, and shares the videos produced with people with disabilities in inpatients, foster homes, nursing centers and nursing homes. , allowing them to experience a real adventure experience through virtual reality (VR) technology.

Currently, Milosz is working with the Himalayan Stove Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the Himalayan environment and improving the health of local people, to produce a 360/VR documentary series focusing on the Himalayan region. The documentary takes viewers into sacred monasteries, temples and Nepalese homes, and to Everest Base Camp (17,600 feet above sea level) to gain an in-depth look at how climbers prepare to scale the world's highest mountain. At the same time, the film will also focus on the profound impact of the Himalayan Stove Project on the lives of local residents.
