"Still freakin 6 pounds. Just found it......maybe that's why I didn't get one."
"I agree with others that it's a bit heavy for backpacking."
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…
r/CampingGear • Looking for budget friendly, easy setup A Frame tent like this ->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.
r/camping • Looking for a functional, but aesthetically pleasing, tent. ->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
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->If you like this tent just snag a Eureka Timberline and be happy with a much better tent.
r/camping • I've never wanted a piece of camping equipment like I want this one! ->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.
r/camping • I've never wanted a piece of camping equipment like I want this one! ->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.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a tent, this price seems really good but maybe too good to be true. Does anybody here have any experience with this tent/brand? I'm looking to camp in semi-wet/rainy conditions as I live in the Pacific Northwest. any other recommendations besides this product are more than welcome :) ->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? ->I love this thing. Saved up for it and bought it on sale as a gift for my wife before she was my wife. It has served us admirably (and will for as long as I can keep repairing it)
r/backpacking • Looking to add a tent to my quiver ->Alps Mountaineering offers similar value and BSA discounts. Facebook marketplace is full of smoking deals on Eureka tents. I just got a Timberline for $30. It was missing one of the end poles. $16 from eBay got me two of them.
r/CampingGear • Eureka Tents best equivalent ->Same, I’ve had mine since 1995ish and it’s held up great!
r/camping • I've never wanted a piece of camping equipment like I want this one! ->Same - have the green as well! I discovered that tent bc my dad actually had the same one for years, too. It’s a classic.
r/camping • I've never wanted a piece of camping equipment like I want this one! ->I wanted a Tadpole so much. I just couldn’t afford it. I ended up with a Eureka Timberline. But in my mind, the Tadpole was a ‘real’ backpacker’s tent.
