Is it green rainfly and floor with tan sides. Or Brown. If memory serves, I believe there was an upgraded version that was brown. I've got the old tank of a tent Green.

I have a couple of Eureka timber lines 2 and three men really light excellent fiberglass poles elastic. Floor vent. I’ve had them for years. They always succeed.

I use 3 tents. Two are for summer - fair weather camping but my best tent is the Alps Mountaineering Taurus Outfitter 4-person tent. It is ruggedly built, has aluminum poles, a full fly, and easily manages rainy/windy coastal PNW camping. I consider it a 3.5 season tent. For more headroom, Alps makes a 5-person version of the Taurus Outfitter that might fit your needs.

I don't know how Alps does it. 4 years ago, when my Eureka Timberline 2 faded, I bought the Alps Meramac 3 for $109. My Eureka was more than twice that 15 yrs. ago, but the Meramac has already lasted for 4 years and is in perfect condition. I have a Core Cabin Wall 4-person for glamping but when I bought the Taurus 4 Outfitter I didn't know that the 5-person had stand-up headroom. 3 tents is more than enough but I regret that I didn't buy the Taurus 5 Outfitter.

Marketplace. Got my Timberline 2 for 25 bucks, perfect shape. Just a little musty.

Storage closet is a great use for a cheap tent. I picked up a eureka 2p at Goodwill and I use it more or less for this. $13 well spent

That will be so easy to drop a ton of base weight when you get a good tent. I was at 6 lb 2 person eureka. Got a 3.75 lb MSR Hubba Hubba in 2020. Last 2-3 years I have had the extreme pleasure of carrying the just over 1 lb Durston xmid pro 2. It’s pricy but the regular xmid is much more affordable. And double wall vs single wall of the pro. Nemo Hornet and any of the BA tents are great too.
