A true icon of backcountry shelter, the 1970s Eureka Timberline 2 helped define modern backpacking. Introduced in an era when gear was getting lighter and more accessible, the Timberline became one of the first—and most popular—freestanding backpacking tents on the market. Its simple yet reliable A-frame design, aluminum poles, and rugged canvas-nylon blend made it a favorite among Scouts, thru-hikers, and wilderness travelers alike.
This two-person tent features a sturdy five-pole external frame, two mesh side windows for ventilation, and a zippered front door with storm flaps. The original version boasts a heavy-duty bathtub floor, reliable zippers, and the kind of craftsmanship that made it a go-to shelter for decades. While modern tents may weigh less, few can match the Timberline’s durability, ease of setup, and nostalgic charm.
Whether you're a collector, vintage gear enthusiast, or just appreciate bombproof design, the Timberline 2 is a classic piece of backpacking history that’s still trailworthy today.
