"This tent is THE Gold Standard for A-frame shaped tents.

During my college days I spent two months with thirty others on a geology-focused camping trip through Alaska. We had about ten different types of tents, including several sizes of the Eureka Timberline."

"This tent is simply awesome. My dad and I bought this tent almost 10 years ago to backpack into high lakes and meadows in late September during elk season.

We rarely camp below 7000' with this tent. Setup is quick and easy. We can set it up in 10 minutes in the dark."

"Bomb-proof! It is not light, but it is tough. I have slept 3 in a pinch. With the vestibule, I feel like I have a fabric house. My husband has one from the 70's from his scouting days our kids still use! Just this year, we discovered a hole in a corner that is fully repairable."

"I have been in Boy Scouts my whole life, got my Eagle, and now I am a leader with my troop. Since I joined, my troop has always used the 2-man and 4-man Timberlines. I have used them any where from torrential rainstorms, to snowstorms where we have gotten 6 inches of snow overnight."

"I bought this tent to help my son (10 yrs) with a Cub Scout requirement of setting up a tent by himself. My son quickly understood how to setup the tent and can do it by himself. He can set it up within 15 minutes. Broken down the tent is slightly bulky."

"A solid cabin in the woods. I have owned my Timberline for more than 25 years, buying it after a budget tent blew down in a storm. I have used it for backpacking, canoeing, biking, and skiing. It sets up easily in less then 10 min, once you figure it out."

"Although not a "light" tent for backpacking, I'm impressed with the quality of the tent (I've used mine for 15 years). It sleeps 2 adults OK, but need additional room for packs. I've been in 60 MPH winds in this tent and it held up very well. Stakes required on sidewalls to maximize interior space. Makes a great one person tent - just wish it was a little lighter."

"I've owned a 2 man Timberline for over 8 years and simply love it. It's not the fanciest, not the lightest and definetly not the latest high-tech whizbang tent, but it's tough, durable and keeps me dry constantly.

My Boy Scout troop uses Timberline 4 man tents and they seriously go thru hell on a regular basis."

"Have had this tent since 1977. Been through torrential rain, snow, heat (have thrown the worst at it). Never any problems whatsoever. Sleeps two fine, but cramped with gear. Excellent heat retension in winter, never froze even at 12k+ feet in the eastern sierras. Lightweight and easy to arrange on the backpack. Highly recommended."

"Actually this is a question. We've owned our Timberline for six years and we are very pleased with it. We are about to embark on a month-long backpacking excursion and are wondering if we should reinforce its waterproofing with a 13% silicon heavy duty water repellent."

"This is possibly the most popular backpacking tent ever, and for good reason. It is free-standing, easy to set up, has good ventilation, and gives good weather protection. As with all A-frames, the steep sidewalls mean you must sit-up in the center."
