Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents. The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the companys annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased. In 1960, Eurekas new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition. For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary. Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Womens Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian..com Tent Guide Selecting a Tent Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:Expect the Worst In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.Three- and Four-Season Tents For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness. For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.Domes and Tunnels Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.Size Matters Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where made ?**
A: In the good Ole USA🇺🇸👍

**Q: Does this tent come with a footprint? If not, can I buy one?**
A: It does not come with a foot print and I have not found a quality foot print for this tent. The ones I have tried are so thin as to be worthless.

**Q: Will a queen mattress fit in it?**
A: I sleep on a 6 inch high twin inflatable mattress in mine and am quite comfortable and have plenty of space to spare but I like space on the floor for stuff and to sit.(The tent isn't square so there may not be enough room at the top and bottom of the mattress, but definitely is in the middle if you had no gear).As a scout leader, we camp at Klondike Derby every year in the snow and it's a nice comfy tent. I just bring an extra blanket for the floor.With 2 adult leaders in the tent its a little snug when you have gear and boots in February around here just.

**Q: When the rain fly is off -- how much "mesh" is there? (that is, how much "mesh-windows" are open to the sky? (I'm looking for max star-viewing)**
A: This is a very good tent but not for watching stars.  The top is white and not see thru. There are 2 small triangle shaped windows at the top that can be opened and thats all. This is a 4 season tent. If you want to see the stars you should get a 3 season tent. Most of the top of a 3 season tent is see thru mesh.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great backpack tent
*by R***. on May 1, 2020*

Kinda small as far as headroom but works great in cold weather.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 4 season tent
*by W***R on March 7, 2020*

Great purchase. Very pleased.Everything I was hoping it would be. 👍👍

### ⭐ This is NOT an expedition tent, very poor quality
*by S***A on January 26, 2010*

We purchased this tent because the floorplan is nearly identical to my husband's early 90's Quest tent which he dearly loved but it's time for it to retire, and they don't make them anymore.We go backpacking and snow camping and wanted a tent that could do both. Most 4 season tents have so few vents that summer camping would be unbearable. So we thought this would be great. We figured with the pricetag, it had to be a decent tent, on par with MSR, NorthFace, REI, etc. right? NO, DO NOT BUY this tent if that's the quality you are seeking. It's a cheap tent, not made for "expeditions" as they claim.The seams are sewn with a basting stitch (very easy to rip), and the only ones sealed are those on the rainfly. The fabric of the tent floor is about the same as that on the sides, and seems like if you happened to pitch it on a twig or rock, it would rip straight through in no time (it's even translucent!). The zippers are cheap, not intended for a quality rain resistant tent, and could prove to be a major source of heat loss in winter camping, since they aren't designed to seal at all. The tent weighs a whopping 11 lbs 12 oz, which is largely due to all the hooks, ropes, plastic window, etc, as well as the cotton mesh used to hold the tent poles. We thought the weight wouldn't be a problem, since his old tent is 9 lbs, but the packed size is about double what his old tent was.When we bought this, we had already spent about 8 hours shopping for tents at local suppliers (REI and other outdoor specialty stores), and just didn't find anything that felt right layout-wise, so we went with this. The differences in construction details were ASTONISHINGLY BAD. An REI, MSR, Northface tent costs about the same and will last you for years to come. We ended up buying a MSR Mo Room 3 after this experience, and spent less $, since it was online with REIoutlet.com.I really wanted to like this tent, since we loved the floorplan and the zip-up windows, but were just astonished to see how poor the construction quality was and how HUGE the packed tent was. Stick with the well-known brands if you are serious about "expedition" or even cold weather camping.
