My troop has some of the old timberline tents can we upgrade our poles to alummum our tents are around 20 yrs old

Great, durable and basic tents for troop use and yours was probably made in Binghampton, NY...bravo! The floor plan and dimensions of these tents has not really changed much over the years so the answer is " probably". If you can read the model numbers off the 20 YR old tags you can throw an email to their customer service or a call to the number on their website. Hopefully, they'll get some more boys interested in the outdoors. Good Luck!

Just picked up a used 2man tent similar to this one. It's in good condition but quite dirty. Are these things machine washable? If not the tent, what about the rain fly?
Phil Maher
Member since
Hey Tim,
The shell can be washed in a front-loader, then preferably air dried. You can also wash the fly in the same way, but even though a one time (occasional at most) washing won't usually hurt it, it's generally better to wash it by hand in order to keep the waterproofing doing its job.

One Eureka I've seen is freestanding and the other is not. New to this. Does freestanding mean "no tent pegs"? Are freestanding easier to put up, or doesn't it matter?
Eli Hauschild
Member since
Hi T-Bob, Yes, freestanding tents do not require tent stakes to stay upright. Freestanding tents aren't necessarily easier to put up, they just have the ability to be used in areas where you are unable to use tent stakes, such as sand or snow.

like the other reviewer said, it does mean the tent will stand on its own... however, you should keep in mind that you will still have to stake it out, or at minimum weigh it down, in adverse weather. just because it stands on it own does not mean it won't blow away.
in my tenting experience, the term freestanding is used very loosely by manufacturers. I have slept in my NON-freestanding tents without staking them out in mild conditions...stood on its own...freestanding? No.
for me, a freestanding tent is something that is only necessary if you are going to move your tent a lot without tearing it down. as a general rule, freestanding tents are more stable in extreme weather with the addition of stakes(meaning alpine conditions and areas with sustained winds) where it would NOT be possible for you to set up a tent on your own. that being said, most of my tents are NOT freestanding. like the other answer said, a well made non-freestanding tent can be just as easy to set up.
also, i would stay away from tent "pegs" and stick with "stakes" regardless of the tent you buy. either way, every time i have NOT staked out my freestanding tents, i have regretted it.

What color is the storage sack? I'm trying to keep a subdued visual signature with my camping gear.
Dwayne Vincent

I believe that model there comes with the color as the fly. But most Eureka! tents I have seen, come with the bright yellow storage bag
Great reliable tent
Ethan Frey

I have the older version of this tent and while it isn't the lightest but the 4 person version sleeps three tall college boys with ease and the setup is a cinch. I would recommend this it any beginning backpacker that wants a tent that can do many kinds of camping and is decently tall.
