“On my first trip out with my new Kodiak Canvas tent, I did not arrive at my campsite, in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, until 11:00 at night. I can't tell you how glad I was for the easy to assemble design. You only have to stake it out and put up the three supports. It was a far cry from some of the complicated to assemble tents I have owned in the past.”

I’m a firefighter and I bought this for the firehouse. It’s been great so far, very comfortable and soft. It does not pack down very well, so even stored it takes up a bit of room. Otherwise it’s very nice.
These are great additions to the tent. I ordered an extra one because mine came with two and we usually sleep 3 during our hunting trips in the 10x14.
I bought this 10x14 Flex-bow tent six years ago after borrowing a friend's for a hunt and seeing how well thought out the design is and how comfortable it was. My hunting buddy immediately bought one after spending a miserable night in a dome tent in the wind while I was 10 feet away and slept great in near silence in the Flex-bow. Since then, two of our other hunting friends have sold their pop-up trailers and have bought identical 10x14 Flex-bow tents and haven't looked back.
I spent eight nights in this tent on the north rim of the Grand Canyon in November on a deer hunt where it never got above freezing and we had nights in the teens. With a small heater and a couple carbon monoxide detectors to be safe, it was completely comfortable.
I've used it multiple times with three guys in it. Plenty of room for three twin air mattresses or large foam pads. We've had three cots in it and it's a bit tight around the cots, but doable. Two guys with two cots and gear and it's very roomy and comfortable. Camping in it by myself with a cot and camp chair, it feels like a living room.
The front and rear doors/windows allows you to really open it up for a nap on a warm afternoon but zipped up it holds the heat in great. The awning is nice for when you get a little rain you can put your camp chair under it so you don't come back to camp to a wet chair.
Six years of use and it still works like new. I've been impressed with the company and their products enough that I just bought the 12x12 Cabin Tent and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
