Eureka - Timberline 4 SQ Outfitter

If you can find one, get a Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4. I've been camping in these style tents for thirty years in all seasons and they always hold up. The Assault Outfitter 4 is also an excellent choice. My personal tent is a Timberline SQ Outfitter 2 though, plenty of room for just me plus my gear. Unfortunately, Johnson Outdoors is discontinuing the Eureka line so their tents are becoming harder to come by. The good news is the new ones that are still out there are priced for clearance. It's really too bad though, Eureka tents have always been a "buy it for life" item.

Absolutely Eureka Timberline 2, 4, or 6… Original, or SQ. They are worth every penny. I fine the 2 man is generally light enough to backpack with. Don’t get me wrong, not “light”, but light enough that it’s doable. Is luxurious if you’re solo…

I like Sierra Designs tents for that next level up. The Clip Flashlight 2 has been around forever and is a great backpacking tent. My friend got one in 2001ish and is still using it. My Sirius 3 dome is still going strong after 14 years. Eureka made bomber tents but the brand is being shut down. If you’re not concerned about warranty look into the Eureka EL Capitan or Timberline outfitter. The Timberline was the go to for many scout troops and is a well proven tent. Little heavy for backpacking but not bad if you spread them out over 3 people. You can pick them up heavily discounted right now.

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.

I use a Eureka Copper Canyon 6 tent. It's big enough for me to sleep on a queen sized inflatable air bed and still have space for a chair or two as well as my stuff. At 6'6"tall, I can stand up with plenty of room to spare. I'd never go back to sleeping in a pup tent. I had been using a four person Eureka timberline, but it was much tighter and one cannot stand in it. I love the house type tent!

Twice as heave as the Eureka Timberline and more expensive too. Timberline might be my favorite tent of all time.

The Timberline's simplicity is enduring. Sturdy as hell and easy to put up. No, it's not a pop-up tent for glampers, but it's easy. I love the design, well ventilated, and easy vestibule too. Helps in the rain tremendously, as you can leave boots outside and they'll stay dry. Mostly lightweight. And the simple A-Frame is just classic. Overall, it's just the tent that works best for me. I have a 4-season, a large family tent, and 2 other dome tents (which I may never use again). Maybe it's just personal preference, but the dome style tents just seem wrong to me.

Eureka is a good brand. I had a Timberline that no storm could penetrate. I agree with others that it's a bit heavy for backpacking.

Lots of unsupported fabric. This will really suck in a strong breeze. A Eureka Timberline, but without the airflow. Whoever designed this never camped a day in their life.

Eureka Timberline. They're bombproof and dry as shit.

My Timberline took me a lot of places. Great tent.

Easy to setup and durable. Wind resistant.

eureka timberline, official Boy Scouts tent I could set up in the dark without a light, great in rain

If you can find it, the Eureka Timberline is an excellent tent that our troop had used for years now. It’s been used in 4 seasons and has an optional vestibule that can store a bunch of gear. There is another tent in that lineup that’s actually rated as 4 season, but having as much experience in the Timberline as I do, I don’t think I’d opt for that one, simply because it costs more. We always used a ground sheet under the tent and one of those reflective emergency tarps with the grommets in the corners (not the cheap ones you’d find in a first aid kit) inside to sleep on top of. Reflective side up, and obviously on our foam pads, but we earned the 12 month campers unit badge for as many years as I was enrolled.

I’ve had 2 Timberlines. It’s sad Eureka tents are being discontinued.

I would love to find an upgrade for my Timberline!

The Ozark Trail a-frame tent from Walmart, but the rain fly doesn’t reach all the way to the ground. I have a Eureka Timberline, but purchased secondhand.

I'm not the person you replied to, but growing up my parents had a Eureka 4p tent that was used for backyard sleepovers, family camping trips, etc. They got it before I was born and it lasted for decades. In my early/mid twenties I had a reunion with a close group of college friends where we camped out in the yard of one of our friend's house. A nasty storm blew in and my borrowed Eureka was one of the few tents left staked down and un-torn. **To summarize: longevity, durability, and standing up to high winds**

Thank you!! I'm really leaning towards a Eureka 4 person. I like that it can actually fit 4 people comfortably.

I got the 4 person.
