My favorite tent

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

I just love my Eureka Sunrise tents! I have both a 9' and an 11' model.

When I was younger I wouldn't go camping without my eureka timberline 4 man. It is a super tent and easy for one person to setup. Now if I must sleep on the ground I have a kelty corrie 2 man with a big Agnes sleeping bag with a insulated aircore sleeping pad. I just don't know why I would want to sleep on the ground .

Alps Mountaineering Orion 4. Full rain fly with vestibules on both ends. Two poles, easy and fast set-up for one guy. Dry as a bone even in heavy thunderstorms.

REI Halfdome, quarterdome and T3. I would've never imagined that a "store brand" tent would be as packed with features and be so functional for the low price.

Anything REI brand is good. Also Novara bicycles. Too bad they don't sell fishing stuff.

Purchased a Cabelas alaska guide series 8-man a few weeks ago and cant wait to use it. Dished out some dough but ended up with 140 off. After setting it up it seemes like it worth the money, if not it will go back.

My 10 year old Cabelas's XWT tent has seen over 250 nights in Voyageurs Park campsites alone. Best tent money could have bought. Been thru 60+ mph winds and some nasty border country thunderstorms over the years. Tough as nails.

Mine is a 9x9 (they make 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12 now) and fits the boat in campsite pads perfectly. So far, it is scheduled for another 23 days on Namakan, Rainy and Kab this summer.

I envy you Explorer

[Xplorer]

Haha!! I envy me too sometimes. I actually envy my 8 year old. He has already spent over 100 nights camping there with me. My family mever went camping, so I would go take a leaky canvas tent and climb up the bluff behind our house outside of LaCrosse Wisc. I would go up to a tote road that went up to an old quarry. It was the only flat spot (kinda) on the hillside. I would camp up there overnight, pretending I was out in the wild somewhere. Funny now that I think of it.

I absolutely love my Mountain Hardwear Lite Wedge 3. I've been in that thing while it poured nonstop for 3 days. Never got wet inside.

Fits in my pack, weighs only a couple pounds and sleeps two fairly comfortably. It even has a nice vestibule area for keeping gear dry.

For backpacking/canoe in trips, it's worth every penny.

I love my Hooligan II.. 1 pole.. easy setup.. and withstands a good storm

[smallieobsession]

I have a number of different tents currently and have had many over the years but all things considered my favorite tent is a large one I have right now. It certainly isn't for backpack or canoe camping and I only use it when I can drive right to wherever it is I am camping with all my stuff in my suburban and my boat. The tent 10x14 is a Kodiak Flex Bow tent. It is canvas but is uber waterproof and yet breaths well so there is no condensation/moisture in the tent at night or in the morning. I'm 6'6" and I can stand up in it easy. it has an awesome, think floor and good zippers, etc. We use a couple of cots and have tons of room for gear, etc. Add a little buddy heater when it gets chilly and it is tough to beat. (let's not start the heater in the tent thread again....that's one has been covered earlier:-)

I don't see the Cabelas's XWT tent on their HSOforum

I really like my Cabelas Deluxe XPG 4! It is light, seems durable, and is very easy for one person to set up. The vestibules on both sides are nice for keeping my boots and any other clothes dry that I don't want inside the tent. It has stood up to a couple very nasty storms without so much as a drop of water getting into it.

Unfortunately last summer some very drunk buddies of mine decided it would be fun to use it as a trampoline (while I was inside it) as payback for going to bed too early. The poles were demolished in the process. That tent was my baby, so I was more than a little upset with them. I straightened them as best as I could, but it still collapsed under 8" of snow last deer season. I have no doubt it would have held up fine had the poles been in good shape. $75.00 later I have replacement poles for it and its good as new. Can't wait to use it, possibly for a full two weeks if I need it, moose hunting in the BWCA this fall!

My bad. I see it now. How easy is it to setup?

[Down Deep]

About 6 or 7 years ago I bought a Cabelas Quad Pole 10 X 12. Tent is easy to set up and has excellent head room and side wall clearance. This tent is a good compromise if you want a solid tent and don't want to shell out the extra $$$$'s for the Alaskan. I've been through some big storms with high wind and heavy rain and the tent never had a drop of water come through. The only thing that it didn't stand up to was when a bear decided to come in and sleep with me. He ripped a hole in the corner about 3 feet from my head. Never heard him. He did leave a blueberry flavor calling card.

I really like my Cougar Flats II. I've always liked the front screen room and the separate sleeping area, through the door to the left. My old tent was a Eureka Outside Inn. The CF II is better. Definitely for car (truck) camping only, and really plush for 2 adults. We also have 7x7 and 9x9 tents for when necessary, or for guests.

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Looks very inviting

We're on our 2nd Eureka Sunrise. First on made it 15 years and the zipper kept going out. Got a size larger this time. Been a good tent for us.

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

What size sunrise?

[fivebucks]

I think my old one was a 8 and new one a 9

[Xplorer]

WIWF,

I have no problem setting up/taking down my 9x9 by myself. I know that they have altered the pole design since I bought mine tho so I cant speak for the newer style. Headed back up to VNP on the 9th for 5 days in it.

We also have the cabela's Alaaskan Guide Series Gazebo, now that it a 2 person setup for sure. But again, it sure is nice on a crummy day to be able to close it up and stay warm and dry. Problem is it can take a magician to make it fit on some sites at VNP, but we've always managed it.
