Still using mine since 1979
I bought mine in 1979, and just used it again for a Scouting camping trip this past weekend. Still easy to set up, even when you're exhausted at the end of a long day or in the dark. I no longer consider it a backpacking tent; I use it now as a single person tent for car camping. Plenty of room for my pad, sleeping bag, and everything else. Tall enough to sit up and not hit the walls. I re-waterproof the tent fly every 10 years or so and it keeps going!

Bought mine in 82
Outstanding tent. All together have lived out of mine totalling 4 years. At least a thousand setups in rain ,snow deserts and big winds. One of my favorite possesions.

Great car camping tent.
I have had Timberline tents since 1990 and they were the go to tent for backpacking, They are still my #1 one tent for canoe and car trips where weight is not an issue and space, comfort and durability are at a premium. My First TL-4 finally succumbed to a 50 MPH gale in the Canadian Northwoods after 300+ nights camping with it. I am now using a second TL-4 and a TL-2 for my tent camping trips. They are both over 20 years old and in great shape. The Timberline has two issues I have found. One is weight, this is a very heavy tent compared to others, but that is offset by the quality and durability. They are beasts. The other is the tapered door does allow water to come in when it is opened. I do not use the vestibule. A big plus is the Space. The 63" by 90+" floor is easily 4 times larger than other brand UL tents. I have also found this tent to be very affordable.

Indestructible little tent
This tent is amazing. My old one lasted 35 years. I decided I earned a new one. A touch heavy for backpacking, but easy to set up/take down, and absolutely bomb-proof. I’ve sat through tornado warnings in this thing.

Best Tents on the market
This tent can handle some of the roughest weather and keep you dry in the wettest weather. I have found the vestibule to be a great addition. You can not go wrong with this tent.

Great tent
I've had this tent for 10 years now. Only 1 issue, two of the frame sections bent - in 75 mph wind. Yes, you heard that right 75 mph. I ordered new frame overnight and it was there the next afternoon. I modified it - see pic below(close up and full tent view) using 1/2 PVC cut in 4 sections and slide them over the frame. Since then, have been in 50-60-65 mph winds and no issue. Never have I gotten wet - Never. Just my big Lab and I and there's plenty of room. I'd recommend this tent to anyone. Thanks Eureka!

Best tent I ever had
My wife gave me this tent fir Christmas 30 years ago. I have camped with this tent 40 or 50 times. Bees are some of it while stored on my porch. I loaned it out once, and when I got it back it was missing a ring. After everything it's been through, it's still a very reliable and waterproof tent.

Mine is about 48 years old and still in great shap
I bought my two person Timberline about 48 years ago. I used it frequently for the first 20 years. I could put it up in less than 5 minutes in a thunderstorm ( glad I practiced at home). It served me well on many camping trips in Ontario, and the maritime provinces as well in the USA. I bought the vestibule after the first year. Don't hesitate to buy both. It has been in storage for at least 15 years. I set it up last summer to waterproof it (seams, fly and floor) for my sister to use. I figured it deserved a little attention after all those years. No tears, holes or signs of wear on the tent, screens or vestibule and the zippers still work well. I used the fly for a winter cat shelter one year, so it has a couple of small holes that I patched last summer. Truly an amazing little tent!

One of my all time favorite tents
I have a 2 man and a 4 man Timberline and they are by far my longest lasting (45+ years, yep), easiest to set up, tents that I have. The only care I've given to them is to apply waterproofing on the floor and the fly seams after 20 years. Back in the day they were my go-to backpacking tents but now we're all using something lighter. You can't go wrong with having a Timberline, I've had two inches of water surrounding it in a campground in Germany and everything was bone dry inside while everyone else was soaked around me. I've got the fly extension and I've always wanted the vestibule just to try out cooking in.
