orconnie 10 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Has anyone recently bought tents for their Troop? We are in need of a few new tents. The model we previously bought from Eastern Mountain Sports(EMS) now has a full vestibule rather than a overhang over the door . That may be great for some but not a good choice for us since we are in South Florida, unless we want to cook some of our scouts. Link to post Share on other sites
Troop22 10 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 We are in Virginia and our summers also hot and humid (yours are a little warmer). We stick with Colman equipment. The price is right and they will stand behind their equipment. We may not have the fanciest equipment but the Scouts stay dry for a lot less money. Link to post Share on other sites
eagle90 125 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 You can't go wrong with Eureka equipment. We use the Timberline Outfitters, some of which are over 20 years old. If you treat them right, they will last and last. Dale Link to post Share on other sites
orconnie 10 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 We were thinking about the Timberline, I had one for years. There is a new design Timberline SQ but those are really pricy Link to post Share on other sites
