El Capitan 4+ Outfitter

I think that there only being one really sloped wall isn't bad - good place to put gear. I have a 2p Eureka Mountain Pass, a 4p El Capitan, and an old still-in-the-box [N!ergy 9](https://www.rei.com/product/798442/eureka-nergy-9-tent) with a power pack that was gifted to me and I haven't opened yet!

Eureka stopped making tents? Bummer I had an Outpost that lasted me 30 years, including with bent poles the last few. When I called them about 10 years ago about getting replacement poles they said they didn’t even have the design for my tent any more. So I kept using them and it was mostly fine.

I'd just put a tarp overhead. Alternatively, I've been in ridiculous thunderstorms for days in my Eureka El Capitan and my MSR Habiscape and never a drop inside.

Eureka El Capitan is a great tried and true canoe camping tent. It’s packs nice and small although it’s a bit tight to get into the bag. For 3 people you’d want the “4man” size.

People math and tents get hard. I'd always lean towards one person extra, so a 4p tent. There aren't a lot of light options in 4p tents though. We used a Eureka 4p tent for years, that weighed 8 lbs, and tried several times to find an alternative but never found anything worth it. At the actual 3p level, we have a Nemo Dagger Osmo 3p, that is pretty amazing, but we've only ever used it for 2 people. It's also very expensive, and doesn't seem to go on sale very often.

I LOVE my 4p Eureka! tent. Bought it used 10 years ago and just redid the waterproofing and seam seals.

I’ve got two Eureka’s (2 and 4 person). The two is from 1995. No issues with either
