I spent endless hours online looking for a good tent. This was my first time camping and I was not sure at all what type of tent to buy. There is simply too much to chose from. I was basically looking for a reasonably price 3 season tent with good rain protection. Eureka SUnrise had the best reviews and I decided to go with this one.

We went for 2 nights camping at Acadia National Park in Maine. I tried to put it together myself alone but it was too hard to do it. I had to ask a friend to help me out. WIth 2 persons it is very easy to put up. The feature i liked the best was the 4 windows. It was a bit hot during the day and the cross ventilation kept the tent inside cool. At night it got a bit cold so we zipped the windows and after that it was nice and cozy inside. It did not rain so can’t comment on that aspect. It was easy to fold it and took a lot less time. The poles are a little heavy so if you have the $$$ then I would suggest to go with light weight aluminum pole tent.

I gave this tent 4 stars because the tent description said that even a single person can put it up but I found it very hard to do it especially there is no way a single person can put the rainfly by himself. The tent is 7 foot hight at the center and the rainfly has to go over it. You have to put the rainfly on the ground flat first, put the poles in it and then lift it and put it on top of tent. It is a huge rainfly and if its windy it is almost impossible for a single person to do it.

Overall I am glad that I purchased this tent. However at I paid $210 for this tent and not it is selling for $174 :(. I would say it is a good deal.

We went through four different tents and this one was by far the best to set up and the space available for everyone is great! My daughter’s favorite part are the cup holders and shelves just her size.

We looked around at a number of family tents. We purchased one and found that it was extremely difficult to set up in even the most minimal amount of wind. My wife and I are both experienced campers and hikers so we were surprised when we couldn’t get the tent up properly. We even borrowed a friend’s family tent and proceeded to rip the base the first time we tried to stretch the tent out to stake it.

This tent is different. It is logical to put up. Once up it is spacious. The first time we put it up only took ten or fifteen minutes (include the time to yell at our 1 year old and 3 year old to get off it or we can’t put it up). Internally it has some nice storage features (lots of little pockets and places to store items). I never thought any of that kind of stuff was usefull or necessary until trying to find where the diaper cream went amongst all of the sleeping bags. The tent has nice features without appearing loaded with gimmicks.

And here is the real clincher - the sack that the tent comes in actually fits the tent. Not like you have to bring a hydraulic press to squeeze it in - it actually fits. What a relief after a long weekend of camping. I have never written a review before but was moved enough by the quality of this product.

The only downside I can think of - the stakes included are the cheezy plastic variety that don’t always work in all soil types. And there is not a waterproof assembly instruction printed on the bag (always a nice touch but not needed here since assembly is so logical). Also the way the rain fly goes on is a bit odd (attaching the cross poles to the fly and THEN sliding it over the top).

But the downsides so pale in comparison to the pluses. We are 100% satisfied so far!

We bought this tent to replace a similar Eureka tent that lasted more than 10 years. We love our new Eureka tent! We didn’t even use seam sealer, but it still stayed dry inside during rain on our recent camping trip.

The old tent had four main poles that connected to a center piece, and it was very easy to put up, even by one person. This new tent is just a little harder to put up because there are two very long main poles that arch across the top from corner to corner. We decided that the best process for putting it up was to first stake two corners on the same side of the tent. Then, with the tent flat, we put the two poles through the sleeves and attached them at the two staked corners. Next, the two of us each stood an an unstaked corner so we could simultaneously arch the two poles and fasten the other ends in place. Finally we staked down the third and fourth corner and the sides. Putting up the fly was a breeze.

The tent has a large window on each side, and the zippers worked smoothly! The cupholders and pockets are great, and there are little loops on the inside of seams so you can hang other stuff.

Every now and then, we hear about positive thinking and negative thinking. Positive thinking which is about setting your mind to the right direction by thinking and acting rightly. Negative thinking is about setting one?s mind towards defeat, fear and failure.

It is undisputable that an individual who thinks positively will actually locate his success route. But what are the ?raw materials? he?d need along with this roadmap to achieve? The raw materials are the empowerment tools or ?power? to positive thinking. They are VISION, MISSION and ACTION

VISION

A lot of people talk about vision but do not know what it actually is. Denotatively, vision is a vivid picture created by imagination. It could also be something that can only be seen with insight or the power of imagination ( Merriam Webster Dictionary- Home and office edition). Vision is not just about prophecies or testimonies. It is about your dream or goal created in your mind. This is the major purpose of an achiever. For you to embark on a positive step towards success, you must have a vision. This must be after you must have discovered yourself (as I discussed in my previously). You have to bear in mind that no dream is too big or too small. Every positive dream could be significant to the world. An individual has to bring out purpose from his life because a life spent without purpose is like an empty treasure box.

MISSION

Mission is the next thing a productive individual should have. Anyone who wants to bring his or her vision to life has to plan and strategize how he/she will go about achieving it. The earth was not created in a day neither were monuments built overnight. It took strategic planning and steps to accomplish those tasks. An achiever has to map out ways and methods of making a successful journey by outlining and organizing his/her plans. He/she will have to think of what works and what does and doesn?t work. It is also important to get the right information from the right sources. This could be acquired by asking questions, research via mass media or any other technique that you think best for you. By doing all these, an individual becomes proactive.

ACTION

Furthermore, the journey doesn?t end when a traveler refuels his vehicle. Refueling I only a propellant to the next point in other to complete his journey successfully. The next point involves the utilization of the third empowerment tool which is action. This is when an achiever moves from proactivity to activity! This is when you have to practically make things work! Or better still, the application stage! It?s a popular saying that ?actions tell better than words? The extent of your success depends on what you actually put in through your actions. Your input determines your output. To have a high level of efficiency in your goals, you have to put in your best. By being dedicated, focused and determined, you are erecting strong pillars of success for yourself. Always bear in mind that ?commitment is the mother of achievement?. The depth of your struggle determines the height of your success.

AN IMPORTANT POINT !

An achiever must acknowledge the fact that there is a Force behind all existence. An invincible, invisible, mighty and powerful Force who grants us all possess. A successful person will have to reason and appreciate such blessings by acting rightly in the best manner possible. Such individual must behave as a rational human being and also develop a good character. Honesty is very important in whatever we do. Humility is also important because developing pride and arrogance is like constructing a sky-scraper without pillars. Imagine the result?

In conclusion, I?d once again like to emphasize that living a life of purpose is about having a roadmap known as positive thinking. This has to be activated by three powerful forces namely; Mission, Vision and Action as enumerated earlier. More importantly, never forget your source of existence (God Almighty). I wish you success.
