"Still freakin 6 pounds. Just found it......maybe that's why I didn't get one."
wwotf 0.5If you can still find Eureka, the Timberline SQ 6 would work. It's big enough to have lots of space for 2 people, and is 6'4" at the peak. I'm 5'3" and I set it up easily by myself in about 10-15 minutes depending on weather. I've never tested it in full sand, but I've taken it to camp grounds that are mostly sand and haven't had any issues.
Usual-Strength8291 0.3Any 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.

jessethewrench 0.3I've been using them almost my whole life, and I swear those Outfitter A-frames are some of the best god damn tents ever made. It's a damn shame Johnson killed the brand. Eureka gear is legit.
RandalJansen 0.1I 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.
warm_orange147 0.1Sportsman 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
Any_Inspection9286 0.1If 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.
AR_geojag 0.1Eureka Timberline tents are great, very durable. For tent stakes, I have gone to using 8" timberlick type lag bolts. Use an impact driver to install and remove. Unless you are right on a rock, they work great. I also have a few 4" in the bag.
Confident-Shake-4684 0.1I 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)
d_squared0330 0.1Alps 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.
G8rBob 0.1Same, I’ve had mine since 1995ish and it’s held up great!
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.
