Eureka stopped making tents? Bummer I had an Outpost that lasted me 30 years, including with bent poles the last few. When I called them about 10 years ago about getting replacement poles they said they didn’t even have the design for my tent any more. So I kept using them and it was mostly fine.

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.

4. REI Flash Air Trekking Pole tent for backpacking. 2 person nema aurora for when I'm solo car camping and not base camping. 6 person Eureka for when camping with my wife because she likes the luxuries. A Hennessy Hammock for cases where I would rather that than the Nemo or Flash. Usually when I'm canoeing I'll bring that

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.

Eureka 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.

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.
