My wife and I had a flex-bow tent a few years ago and really loved it.
Then (foolishly) we got a small camper and sold our Kodiak Canvas tent. Well, fast forward to today: we sold the camper and are back with the Kodiak Canvas flex-bow tent. The tent is fantastic. Well made, weatherproof, easy to put up, roomy, comfortable, and just a great fit for us. Other 'pluses' of the flex-bow tent: more economical and minimal maintenance as compared to a camper, many more campsites available vs. the camper, so much less to worry and bother with. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with our Kodiak Canvas tent, it's really brought back the relaxation, simplicity, and fun to camping again! Definately 5 Stars!!
Lost my original Kodiak tent carry bag in a sand storm. The replacement was the same great quality at a good price. I use my Kodiak tent all 4 seasons, so the tent and carry bag get a lot of use. The bag is very tough and I have never had a problem with the zipper, even with sand and dirt in it.
I absolutely love this tent. It is great having a floor in a wall tent. Easy to assemble.
I bought a 12X16 tent, which is awesome. I added this heat shield under my Camp Chef Alpine stove, thinking I was protecting the tent and Kodiak ground tarp. Unfortunately, the stove was too hot and melted my ground tarp to my tent floor. Luckily, the tent floor wasn't injured too badly, but the ground tarp was toast. I will have to double up my heat shields to make sure it won't happen again.
We are sorry for the troubles you have had with your tent. It important to only use stoves with an approved leg length and never run your stove red-hot to avoid situations like these. Our stove mat is ideal to protect your tent floor against the occasional hot ember or coal that may fall out of your stove, but cannot prevent high temperatures from damaging your tent/tarp if an approved stove is not in use, and/or if the stove is ran red-hot as warned against in the owner’s manual.
It's very warm and comfortable. I would recommend it to everyone
