If you’re looking for a tent to take you on any camping trip, from a simple family campground venture to a hardcore, all-weather mountain extravaganza, look into Eureka’s extensive line of tents. Eureka has been making tents for more than 100 years. The company’s long history began prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where it still resides today. It was then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, it made camping tents, American flags, store awnings and canvas Conestoga wagon covers. Eureka tents have been used to ascend Mt. Everest, to provide shade for lavish Kennedy family parties, and to give shelter to regular hikers and families around the world.

Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. It’s a completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent that has become one of the most popular tents that the industry has ever produced. By its 10-year anniversary, sales of the Eureka Timberline tent had reached over 1 million tents. It is extremely durable and weather resistant, and comes in all different sizes to fit two, four, six or more people. If you’re looking for a quality tent to last you years and years, pick up a Eureka backpacking tent.

Hikers are an adventurous breed, and as such they’re always pushing their survival and backpacking skills to the limit. This means climbing to new heights along mountainsides and trekking through daunting terrain without a second thought. Hard-core hikers should be advised that they will need a whole different set of supplies and gear for their momentous task. Traditional camping equipment just won’t cut it.

The two basic essentials that deserve the most consideration are hiking tents and temperature-rated sleeping bags. When it’s time to turn in for the night, hikers like to be able to pitch their tents in a hurry. Their tents should be portable, easy to assemble and take apart, and roomy enough to accommodate a sleeping hiker with space to spare. Down or heavily insulated synthetic sleeping bags are also recommended.
