"The only experience I have, is one desert southern/central Utah trip (by Moab), with one person setting up the Eureka Timberline on the edge of the bluff, and a pole snapped in the wind; and one High Uintah's trip, we were in our own tent,and some boys "knocked" on our tent, their Eureka Timberline had snapped in the rainstorm."

"Don't buy this tent - it is a poorly made copy of the original Timberline that was made in the '80-'90s. The aluminium rings easily bend, the fabric is cheap and is totally a disappointment from the old scout tent I know and still love."

"My Timberline is about 6 years old, used for "car camping" about 5 times per year (trips ranging from a weekend to two weeks).

Unfortunately, these aren't the Timberlines I remember from my Boy Scout days, which were nearly indestructible. I kind of wish I had something else, to be honest."

"I have several Eureka tents as well as Kelty and Coleman. I have to agree with what I read one guy say. Eureka is not putting out the same stuff as they did. Not nearly as well made are sealed. Seems to be out to make a buck with less quality in mind."

"I learned about the Timberline as a boy scout years ago. I took it to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, all over Pennsylvania, West Point NY, Charleston SC, the New Jersey Pine Barrens, the Everglades, Colorado, and Philmont NM. Rain, high heat, snow, high winds, and hell's worst mosquitoes all had no effect on the tent."

"I used this Timberline A-Frame tent for two weeks in Canada during a canoe expedition through the Boundary Waters area. I was issued the tent from the outfitters there. This tent is great. I first noticed how worn out it was when we first set it up."

"I have an Eureka Timberline from the '70s and it is still a favorite. It is very easy to set up and wears like iron. I washed it in woolite once and destroyed it to shreads. I wrote and told Eureka just what I did and to my delight, they sent me a new tent."

"Have had the tent since 1979 and think it's great. Have camped and hiked through Alaska with it twice, plus hiked and camped with the Scouts all over California. Been in the rain and snow and it holds up as any tent should. For a 3 season tent it is an excellent first tent for two."

"I have had my Timberline for about 10 years. I think it is a good "first tent" for someone on a budget, but there is little need to upgrade. My friends also have owned these tents for several years. We think the quality is good. They hold up over time."

Reviewed by Scottman, Dec 24, 1997

"Although Eureka has been know in the past for its quality, things have changed. My Timberline leaks like a sieve even after numerous applications of seam sealant. The nylon floor is thin and not coated with urethane. Eureka was unwilling to help me with my problem and simply told me to reapply the sealant."

Reviewed by World Traveler, Dec 23, 1997

"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 retention in winter, never froze even at 12k+ feet in the eastern sierras. Lightweight and easy to arrange on the backpack. Highly recommended."
