Timberline SQ 2XT

Timberline SQ 2XT. Still freakin 6 pounds. Just found it......maybe that's why I didn't get one. Still have my Campmore external backpack. Lol...

Yes ,,, believe it or not. I still have my Eureka Timber line. Nice tent. Haven't had it out in a few.

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.

The Eureka 2 man Timberline is what works for me. 6’3”. get a used one, most have only been used onceish.

they have them in stock at some small stores still. You can find them for less than $100 used on websites, so I think it just depends on your definition of a fair deal. I have three, one is 33 years old and it’s the only one I bought new.

I didn’t know tents still came with fibreglass poles, I haven’t had one with them since the 80s. The three I’ve bought since then (North Face, MEC, Eureka) have all been aluminum. You could probably just replace the poles of your current tent if you like the tent enough.

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.

imho, Timberline >> domes for stormy days, as you could have the windows open during the rain.

Any Eureka Timberline series tent are very easy to set up by yourself. I would recommend the Timerline 2 six man tent if you are camping with kids.
