The Eureka Timberline 4 Adventure tent is a excellent tent produce man-made by a company that has been around, and been in the company for a very long time. Over 100 years to be precise. The Eureka company started way back in the late 1890's as a company that was producing canvas products for the American frontiersmen of that time. They were manufacturing canvas tents, wagon covers and horse blankets among other things back then. Their credit has remained unblemished for all these years.
Many illustrious expeditions colse to the globe and even up to Mount Everest has used Eureka tents along the way. This certainty gives this company a lot of credit for capability and contact in the produce and produce of tent products.
Tents Travel
The Eureka Timberline 4 adventure model is an old popular and immensely popular product. There have been over a million sold, which makes this one of the most popular, if not the most popular tent ever sold.
Everybody who is or has been a boy scout should be familiar with this tent. It has been colse to for many years and has consistently been upgraded and improved where it needed to be improved.
The produce of this model is a typical A frame type of design. It is a freestanding mode that is very easy to set up in just a few minutes time without hassle, so that no tie downs or stakes are needed to obtain it to the ground. There are guylines and rain fly attachments that are secured down to the ground which gives you the extra stability that may be needed in extreme or rough conditions.
This is what would be determined a 3 season tent, which are the most coarse types that are sold today. They will get you straight through most seasons with the exception of an highly cold winter situation. With 63 square feet of floor space available, sleeping 4 habitancy comfortably should not be an issue.
Although fairly light as far as backpacking tents go, this is not one of those ultra light models where every ounce counts. If you are going on extended long backpack trips and weight is a serious issue, then you should look into one of the lighter ultra light tents that are ready today.
Constructed out of a strong coated polyester fabric, and with floor seams that are kept taught and off the floor, water leakage should not be a problem. A rain fly keeps the water at bay and 2 windows will allow for good ventilation and minimal condensation if any.
There are inside mesh pockets to stow your gear, and you can get an optional vestibule (which is a good idea) measuring 14 square feet to use to store your stuff.
Overall, I like the Eureka timberline. Possibly there is some nostalgia there with the Boy Scouts but if my previous memory serves me right, and my current delineate is accurate, these is a very good tent for the money and one that should last for many years to come if you are a casual weekend camper. If you are the more serious type of extreme backpacking camper, then you should be looking elsewhere.
