Eureka Timberline Outfitter 4 9- by 7-Foot Four-Person Tent
Customer Review: So far, so good
I must say, the assembly instructions were horrendous! However, with a little common sense, one can easily figure out how to put this tent up. Seems like a nice quality and sturdy tent, so far. Perfect size for two people with "stuff."
Customer Review: Best Boy Scout Tent.. Hands Down
I am a Scoutmaster. We have purchased many tents in the past for trials. Mostly Eureka tents but we have some Coleman, North Peak, ect... The last set of tents we purchased were the Eureka Timberline 4 (NOT THE OUTFITTER). This is a HUGE mistake. We camp between 1 - 3 times a month rain or shine, cold or hot. We have two other outfitters that were purchased back in 1988 that are still in full operation. Every other tent (including the regular timberlines from Eureka) just do not hold up to the use we put these things through. The extra heavy flooring that is factory sealed does not allow water in PERIOD. The first time we took the four new ones out that we recently purchased, there was literely a stream of water three feet wide going UNDER the tent. In one night, we had 2.8 inches of rain in a 3 hour period. Not one drop got through the new Eureka Timberline Outfitter 4's Rainfly or door/window zippers. The kids stayed in their tents and I was really suprised that there was not even condensation on the inside of their tents from their breath. HOWEVER, the boys that were in the old Timberline 4's (not the outfitter series) were DRENCHED. We had seamsealed the tents (something for which the outfitters you NEVER have to do) but it still got through because of the rough use we put them through split the seamseal resin We had just applied it in March but had went on 4 campouts since then. I called the company about it, I didn't know that EACH time you put up and take down your tent, you are supposed to seamseal. Anyway, best tent ever made for a Boy Scout Troop or anyone that does a lot of camping. If you need a bigger tent, go with the Timberline Outfitter 6. That is what I use. We fit two adults with cots in it comfortably. The only water that got into it was when I dragged in my drenched body from the rain. Sincerely Owl Patrol Memeber
You are having a hard time spending some time with your family? Well camping seems to be one of the easiest solutions to get some strong and long lasting bonds event with your kids. After years and years you will still remember the fun you had together and the adventures you had in the wild. This is top quality time and it will change your life for good.
Tend camping is very common and easy to do if you know the basics. There are several types of camping and I want to remind you two of them : car camping and backpacking. If you have your own car then what remains to do is search for a nice spot: a forest campsite, a nation park or a commercial camp.
But most of you probably like the tent camping so much that you dont even want to hear about anything else. A combination of the two can really make youre like pleasant: how about a motor home. This way you have the comfort and the nature at your fingertips. A tent will be a nice addition if you have guests.
A guide can only help and can provide useful tips about where to camp and how to be safe in the same time. There is a lot to do when were in nature: fishing, hunting and hiking are just the cherry on the cake. You have to take into consideration that nature is wild so the rain or snow are part of it. The guide can teach you how to keep warm and dry all the time.
With all this in mind, all you have to do is gather you family, take some days off and be on your way. Having a mobile internet connection can provide additional resources and modern technology should not be taken lightly. Technology is here to stay and help you even in the wild.
