Eureka - Timberline 6 (Original)

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…

RIP Eureka. I mostly car camp and have camped my whole life. I bought my first Eureka tent in 1989. The waterproofing on the fly is failing but it is still a fantastic tent. I took an inexpensive 3 person REI tent on an 8 week cross country car camping trip, and it performed better than anticipated in a variety of conditions. I currently camp with my partner and 2 Golden Retrievers in an 8 person Eureka ans it is the bomb. Plenty of room to stand in and the two dogs have plenty of room. Over time your needs might change, so buy a quality tent that meets your current needs but you don’t need to break the bank.

If you can still find a 6-man Eureka timberline, that'd be my pick for something that both looks nice and is a good tent. Assuming you're not looking for backpacking tents, of course.

You do not want all season or 4 season. You want winter or expedition. If you are doing real winter camping. Growing up I camped year round in New England. We did a trip every month for about 12 years. We used green eureka a frames. If you are not base camping in alpine areas, then the expedition tents are overkill.

eureka timberline. they are discontinued, but still available. they are the prototype for all good a frames.

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.

I have owned several Eurekas over the years. I still have all of them except my first 3 man, which i gave to my sister(she is still using it, its probably 20 years old, if not more). They get my vote for price and quality. To be fair, i haven't used many other tents because i haven't had to. I currently have a lightweight 2 person, apex 3 person, a 3 person with a large vestibule and now a 6 person as my family has grown.

Sportsman had eureka on sale. Snagged me one for a great price. It is replacing my old eureka I've had for almost 40 years. It's wonderful. Almost exactly the 6man. They have 8 too

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.
