Closest thing you’ll find in modern offering is probably a “Eureka Timberline 4?” We used em in scouts and they’re very similar looking to this.

Eureka timberline 4 man , most used tent by the Boy Scouts. Take care of it and it will serve you well for decades. You can put it up easily, it holds up to rain. Good for 2/3 people & gear .they also have 2 & 6 man models. Standard & outfitter versions

I also have a Timberline. I had the 2 man and it fell off the back of the motorcycle after owning it for 25 years. I replaced it with the 4 man version. I wish somebody would keep manufacturing them. [Backcountry.com](http://Backcountry.com) has their own brand now, Stoic, and one of the tents is very similar to the Timberline. The downside is that the poles are fiberglass vs. the original aluminum.

Sorry to see Eureka! go. They built solid tents for reasonable prices. I'd put my Timberline 4-person up anything that cost twice as much, especially in a windstorm. I happened on an REI tent-testing session at a local airport some years ago. The testers were tying various tents onto a flatbed trailer, then driving up and down the runway ar speeds varying from 20-50 mph. Testers sat inside the tents to measure deflection and wind noise. If I remember correctly, a North Face got the best score.

I would not rely on support as they were discontinued a year ago and anything sold is new old stock. that said parts are everywhere and they are fairly bulletproof.

That reminds me of the Eureka A-Frame tents we always used in Boy Scouts. They were great. We could set them up and tear them down in no time.

I just picked up the Copper Canyon 4 for like $86 at Sportsman's Warehouse for the same reason. I wanted a car camping tent I could stand up in to change clothes for a weeklong trip I'm taking at the end of the month. I've had my Eureka Apex Solo one man tent for over 10 years and it still looks new. We had their Timberline A-frame tents when I was coming up in scouts and the only thing that killed a bunch of them was when we camped on the Gulf Coast in Texas as a tropical storm rolled in.

If you like this tent just snag a Eureka Timberline and be happy with a much better tent.

True but being the standard issue boy scout tent for a very long time means six billion of them exist which makes them much easier to find.

Been using our Eureka Timberline a-frames for YEARS. We have the two and four person (which we use respectively for one and two people, for roomy comfy car camping- not backpacking). They’ve lasted through hundreds of nights in all climates. Yes, it’s gonna get some moisture on the inside of the walls if it’s pouring down rain for hours on end. But these things are tanks. Simple to set up, and just last for a very long time.

r/BuyItForLife • Is there such thing as a “good” tent? ->
