I have been camping for many years now. I have used various types of tents and equipment in that time and, like everyone else, I have developed my own favorites. The Kodiak 12x12 is my new favorite. The quality is impressive and the service from Kodiak Canvas is equally phenomenal. Erecting alone and with some practice and planning it goes up or down in 15/20 minutes. The hardware, wood stove and flue pipe, tarp, and addition are all extremely high quality products designed to last years. This is a simple but very effective setup and it is worth every penny of what it costs. Thank you Kodiak Canvas!
I love this add on to our 10x14 canvas tent! We had one for a few years that fell off our trailer while we were traveling from our campsite and it took forever for them to become available, again! But I got it asap because I live having the extra room for storage! We even sat in there drinking coffee during a rainstorm while we watched all the other campers struggle w their wet tents. I buy tapestries to add to privacy and clip them onto the sides.
I have purchased 4 Kodiak tents. A two-man tent; a four-man tent; and two six-man tents. I gave the four-man tent to one of my kids and a six-man to another. As I was getting ready to go camping again, I realized the two-man, while being in pristine condition, was not large enough for what we needed for this family reunion camping trip. Mind you, I am 71 years old and have been camping regularly since I was a toddler. Having served in Boy Scouts for over 30 years, I have seen every kind of tent there is. For Car camping, there is nothing I have ever seen that is any better than a Kodiak Canvas tent. If you don't have one, get one.
Needed to replace a pole on my cabin tent, as a large, impressive animal leaned against the old one…tent held up well! I do wish the Velcro pole tabs on the cabin tent held up better, as they are the weak link in an otherwise excellent product. All of them have failed in the stiff wind, reducing the strength of the tent overall.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the velcro poles connectors. We will take this into consideration for future design upgrades.
I have owned multiple canvas tents over the years from grandpa’s old green White Stag to large outfitter wall tents. I just bought a flexbow 10x10 for summer car camping here in Montana. This thing is a winner. Easy for one old guy to setup, (watch a YouTube video the directions are worthless). Once setup I hosed it down to get the canvas and seams to swell and seal. Usually this results in leaks where the seams and canvas allows water to weep in. After 10 minutes of soaking the tent I peeked inside and there wasn’t a drop of water in it. I really poured the water on the seams with decent pressure. I can’t believe how the water just beads off and pours down the sides. There is something hydrophobic on the canvas. I was really surprised. This will be great for quick overnights and getaways. Grab the tent, some grub, and head out for a fishing trip or a weekend hunt. I’m sold on these.
