When I backpack or lead trips, I’ve typically used the Eureka Timberline series, an “old school” style A-Frame. I find the aluminum poles work best; a bit heavier, but they don’t shatter like fiberglass has been known to do. I also like using the 10′ x 10′ nylon tarps from Campmor. They are super light, easy to set up, can be set up in many useful configurations, and are versatile.

However, as money is pretty tight, my personal tent is a K-Mart/Target/”I-Don’t-Really-Know” that I found in a thrift shop, and put a little TLC into (sealing the seams, etc.). I’m saving up for something from the Eureka Apex series.

Thanks for the comment, Ethan! It is a task that gets pushed aside, I know first hand.

What tent are you currently using? I am always interested in hearing opinions and reviews!
