This is a review of the Eureka Timberline 2 tent. This tent is possibly the world's most popular backpacking tent, having sold over one million units. It is a tent which can be used for 3 seasons and is freestanding. The A frame design of the Eureka Timberline 2 offers a lot of space with excellent ventilation and sleeps two people. This tent is great for casual backpacking as well as a starter tent for those who are brand new to camping.
Before taking a deeper look at the Eureka Timberline 2 tent, I'll highlight some important to think about when choosing a tent.
Selecting the right three season tent is not an easy choice. It is critical to review various features such as size, durability, style, breathability, and resistance to water. It can be really confusing, especially when you think about all the different things involved in selecting the right tents.
2 main features to think about are the weight and size of your tents. 3 season tents can range anywhere from four to nine pounds, and are able to sleep 2-3 people. Ultralight shelters weigh less than three pounds but are only designed for 1 person. Family camping tents can weigh from ten to twenty pounds.
While 3 season tents can be easier to carry on your trip, they may sacrifice some features. For example, the tents that are close to the four to five pound range don't have as many zippers, fewer and lighter poles, smaller vestibules and smaller rainflies. Now lets take a look at the Eureka Timberline 2 tent.
Set up is very fast and easy. When you are camping with others, you will always be the 1st to finish setting up your tent. The Eureka Timberline 2 is held up by a half inch shock-corded aluminum frame which makes pitching the tent very easy. The unique A-frame holds well in cold and severe conditions. The Eureka Timberline 2 is also very light, weighing less than six lbs. There are 2 mesh pockets inside to hold all of your things.
The Eureka Timberline 2 has a big door and 2 big windows, one1 in the back and one on the door. The windows can be shut to provide great ventilation, even in rainy conditions. Dew is diminished by a well-ventilated nylon canopy. The fly and floor are both made from fully-sealed non-stretch polyester, keeping out water even in dreadful weather conditions.
The durability of this tent is great. It stands up to an extreme amount of wear and tear. Some campers have described using this tent for over 20 years with no problems!
