For what it's worth, my old Boy Scout troop has been using Eureka Timberline tents for over ten years and if a tent can survive a bunch of teenage boys it can survive anything. In fact, my dad was the quartermaster, so I know those things rarely broke. We had probably fifteen of them and only had to repair one or two.
