My spouse and I purchased this 12x16 tent, the 8x8 awning and the wood stove bundle. We used it from June 2025-10/23/2025. We had purchased raw land and needed something to stay in while our cabin was being built. This tent is absolutely amazing. We had soaking rains, wind storms (40-60mph gusts) extreme heat and high 20s cold as we are in northern Maine, about 40 minutes from the northern Canadian boarder. Not one leak or drop of water inside. We did set it up on a wooden platform to keep us off the ground. On colder nights we kept the wood stove going and stayed between 70-80 degrees inside. Almost 5 months in this tent, zippers held and not one bit of degrade in the canvas or the poly liner. I’m very impressed and plan to use this for hunting trips in the future. Either long term for off grid living or camping/hunting, this tent is worth it. I can’t thank Kodiak enough for making such a wonderful tent and helping our dreams come true.

We debated all the different Kodiak tents and landed on what we call “The Big One”! We couldn’t be happier!! Ample room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors!!

The folks at Kodiak responded quickly to my order questions. I prebuilt a reinforced tent deck for my 12x16 tent with a 16x24 shell over the tent.
The tent arrived and perfectly fit into the prebuilt space. Rarely do you have specifications as accurate as Kodiak provides on their products, so my “forever tent” fit like a glove into my build.

I have this tent set up for summer, it will come down in October in a few months. The Pros: its big, which can make finding a flat space challenging. The vented windows all around are refreshing during the day. The cieling is tall enough that I don't have to scrunch much. Very water proof. Its been through a few good rain storms without issue. Alwsys dry inside. Very happy to have the sewn in floor. Cons: I have one zipper for the awning connection that has the zipper teeth nearly sewn into the seam. This makes added the awning to the stove side of the tent very difficult in this section of the zipper. I did eventually get it zipped through. Hopefully it will unzip in the fall. I feel like the doors should have a screen sewn in like the flex-bow versions (I also own the 10x14 VX). Last thought is there is not a sewn in electrical cord pocket to have a generator outside with power inside. I would rate this tent 4.5 stars as is. It would be a 5 except for those 3 things. Would that prevent me from buying this again. Absolutely not. I think its the best tent on the market.

Love the tent been using it for two weeks now. Love it!!!

Estoy feliz de tener esta tienda de campaña. Muy comoda tiene todo lo que necesito adentro

Purchased this tent for a late season deer hunt in Colorado, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it worked. Tent was very easy to set up/take down with two people.

No issues staying warm or having condensation. Stove kept everything sitting right around 75 degrees inside the tent.

Jon is amazing with customer service and I cannot recommend him or his enough!

I am highly satisfied with the quality and construction of this tent. It is very roomy. Set up was easy with two people. Instructions Easy to follow would highly recommend.

This is the best purchase I've made tent wise so far. We just used it this past labor day weekend and we had way more then enough room for 8 adults plus a toddler. The material of the tent surpasses any other tent I've purchased myself. All in all id give it a 10 out of 10. Photo is wife and granddaughter. 12x16 tent with the awning

Used last year during deer season for 4 people to hunt. Had plenty of room and the tent held heat well. Just finished a week camping with the family, had a pretty harsh thunderstorm with high wind and the tent held up very well with no leaks. Just had to retighten some string. Our cheap canopies on the other hand didn’t make it. Would definitely recommend this tent.

The tent was everything we expected and more. It was easy to put up. The quality is evident immediately as you unbox the package.

The tent exceeded expectations! The kids love it, it’s extremely spacious, the stove is rock solid and the quality is perfect, we set it up in the backyard to break it in and it went together so well, could t be happier

I bought this tent to take my boys (15 & 17) on a deer hunting trip. It was by far one of the greatest investments I've made in the father/son fun department. We did the 8x8 awning tent for a kitchen and set up the main tent with a cylinder stove and the Disco XL bunk beds. There was plenty of room for folding chairs and tables. It was basically like staying in a cabin.

I was impressed how warm and spacious it was -just like the reviews on YouTube said. The Disco XL beds were amazingly comfortable and I highly recommend them as well. This tent really helped my boys get excited about deer season and camping in general. We just created a new family tradition!

On the company side, I have been very impressed with Jon in customer service. He helped my select the right package and assisted with the order. When I tore the roof (via my own sheer stupidity), he walked me through the repair and is sending me a free piece of roof material for the patch. This is obviously a small company very focused on their customer's satisfaction.

And by the way, I put the tent with kitchen attachment up by myself in under an hour and a half. It came down even quicker. It literally goes up quicker than some of our LL Bean summer tents. The zippers are totally solid and the venting is great- no condensation issues at all.

This tent is awesome. Very large and roomy. Easy to set up. I have been through rain, snow, sleat, and small hail for over a week and not problems at all.

After 5 months of use I love the tent combo I received. There are some subtle changes that I believe would benefit the tent for all to enjoy.

1. A power entry port that is zippered. My last 3 trips I have utilzed my solar generator for on site power for lighting and charging devices, however when I go to plug in my panels I have to run things through the door zippers and this has allowed unwanted critters to enter so a zippered power entry would reduce this.

2. The awing having to sheath over the midridge pole is a pain, then the zipper going across keeps getting stuck right at the center no matter how much wax has been applied. It also collects water even when stretched tight and every tie point utilzed. The gromet attachments get bound up as well allowing water to enter down the poles, then a tarp that size is simply not available in my area at least so have had to use a larger one 8x10 or 8x12 and fold under before staking down the sides.

3. Double zippers on the door entries would be nice addition.

4. Lower ventilation ports like the uppers to allow more ventilation in colder environments, and a second storm awning on the opposite side for cross ventilation.

5. Stove needs a dedicated attachment for a flue dampener instead of an aftermarket to drill in yourself type. A dedicated spot for a **** in type thermometer to monitor flue temps, below the dampener so you do not melt the jack plate gasket. Then the step grate needs lifted 3/4 of an inch to allow for better air flow and ash to settle. Have added 2 pieces of 1 inch angle iron and then a piece of expanded metal on top to allow coals to stay higher and ash to fall through.

6. Along the ridge, more loops for attaching accessories such a lights and fans.

7. Center support pole needs a trough to support the center ridge pole instead of pressing on the canvas to support it. Even though this area is reinforced I am already seeing signs of excessive wear. Also a few more attachment points for accessories.

8. Sides need 1 more foot of height to allow more of the square footage of the tent to be utilized.

9. Handles on poles that have the spring button type height adjustments. When you are trying eo extend or retract under tension, especially in wet conditions, this turns into a 4 to 5 hand task to accomplish as I found out this last trip while setting and breaking camp. This can be a removable/clamp on type as well.

10. An interrior floor ground tarp that is not vinyl, maybe canvas or woven drop cloth to be offered in the bundle. This just helps with debris and floor management. Also on the stove fire resistant cover needs to be bigger than the 3x4, needs to be 6x8 minimum.

11. Stove area walls needs a heat reflective material. We measured temps approching 180 degrees F on this last trip and could have been reduced some with better heat reflective material.

If some one from Kodiak Canvass would like to reach out to me, especially the R&D department, please do so, would be interested in testing and collaborationg things out for finding solutions to these.

P.s. thses comments are from 2 highly seasoned outdoorsmen that have a combined 108 years of experience.

Watched a bunch of videos of which wall tent to buy and the Kodiak kept showing up as one of the best so I pulled trigger and bought the 12x16’. This tent is amazing! I set it up very first time by myself 8 weeks after having a total knee replacement so that shows it’s not hard to set up! The quality is evident everywhere where you look, seems sewn straight, zippers work flawlessly, stove pipe opening is perfect, and I could go on and on but just want to say buy one you will NEVER regret your purchase!!!! Oh I want to talk about one negative I kept seeing on videos, people talk about tent not having a screen door only the canvas, I can not understand this at all because there is a huge window right beside each door!!! This is so much better than a zippered screen to get in your way at the door! Come on people Kodiak did it right, only one piece of canvas to deal with a two zippers!! So much better than canvas door and a screen on doorway!!! I bought this tent for 2028 elk hunt in Montana, bought it now to get familiar with set up, and to see what things work and what doesn’t as for as tent and camp set up. I am glad I did as I am loving camping in this tent, best camping experience I have ever had due to Kodiak tent

We all loved the tent and awning. It was shipped on a Tuesday and I received it that Saturday. Put it up and seasoned it the following weekend us 4 adults and 2 grandchildren used it in the Allegheny National Forest around where we live and we all had a great time and stayed warm. Thank You Kodiak Canvas
