I bought the Timberline 6 25 years ago from Barney's in Alaska. Every year this tent has been taken on journeys over rough, wet, hot, windy, cold trips, starting with our three kids ages 5, 6, and 7. Now, my grandkids are sleeping in it.

It is roomy, tougher than buffalo hide, and has been forgiving when the maintainance wasn't quite as good as it sould have been (our teenagers taking it on a trip to the pacific coast). The zippers are still good. Unfortunately, it got left in the sun for two months in Texas and UV damage. I AM GETTING A NEW ONE!!!
