"it’s like 1/4 the price of a shift ... I cannot believe the price differential. Shiftpods started off priced closer to Kodiak, now shiftpods are practically 3x the cost of their fanciest largest tent."

"My Kodiak tent feels like something I could live in long term for a year, winter through summer. ... I camped in it last year during a night where it rained 20mm with 70km/h wind and I woke up bone dry, and the awning even stayed up."
"tough large tent ... Lasts forever"
"After 10 years of music festivals and Outerbanks week long fishing trips, there is not much wear on the ol' Kodiak."

"Trudging through the mud from my friends mud caked RVs into our dry Kodiak was incredible. ... Every single shiftpod in our camp had soggy floors. Some fared better than others"
"the only tent that seemed to be standing sturdy in every camp was a springbar style canvas tent. ... the kodiaks were hassle free and a lot of people just lagged the 4 corners. those mf'ers are the real deal. ... will withstand any weather"

"I like my Kodiak but the brightness is an issue ... It's a real killer for trying to plan super late/sunrise adventures when you can't get back and rest well at dawn."
I have the 10x10 Kodiak Canvas tent, and I went with the additional window upgrade (VX), which is awesome. These are heavy, and very firmly in the car camping category, but why not have a heavy tent if car camping? It's so lovely. They are wind, temperature, and sound insulating (as far as tents go), can tolerate some snow cover.

r/CampingGear • Tent to stand up in ->I'll second this comment with my limited experience. I did use a starter Coleman tent for several years and recently upgraded to a Kodiak Flexbow 10x10 (deluxe), having also considered the Wawona 6 for quite some time. No longer having to crawl around inside the tent is a fantastic experience and I've found it to be very comfortable for two people, with space for cots, a bin/table in between, storage at the head or foot of the cot, and space in between (Springbar's website has some great examples of how to lay out different tent sizes). I'll echo u/thedjbigc's comments about the breathability, insulation, etc. Canvas also feels nice to touch and sounds pleasant in the wind! I camped in the upper 30 degrees with 0 degree sleeping bags, and while it was still cold, it was noticeably warmer inside the tent. Most of these tents have a 6' 6" ceiling height, but they do curve down a little bit; another Redditor measured the height where the roof meets the front and back wall at 5" 10" so that's something to consider. I'm not sure if there are any tents that are consistently over 6' 6". It's worth noting that it's usually possible to get Kodiak tents at a cheaper price, but that's currently not possible due to the tariffs; I paid full freight in anticipation of the prices going up. Springbar tents don't seem to go on sale at all, and their more expensive tents are made in the US. Interestingly, I read an interview with their CEO who mentioned that most of their US-made tents are sold in Asia and most of their foreign-made tents are sold in the US. Go figure!
r/camping • Looking for a high-quality tent for car camping in Utah ->I have the Kodiak canvas 10x10 flexbow. It is an ideal size for 2 people sleeping on cots, there is ample room inside.
r/camping • Looking for a high-quality tent for car camping in Utah ->Look at Kodiak canvas flexbow 10x14 or 10x10. Canvas tents you can stand in and are very well made. And they set up solo in less than 10 minutes.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a new tough car camping tent ->It’s heavy so perfect for car camping: the Kodiak flex bow 10x10. I’m 6ft 3 and had plenty of room to stand. Easy setup and take down with one person too
r/camping • Car camping tent recommendations ->Look at Kodiak canvas 10x10 spring bow tent It's a little spendy, but perfect for any campground footprint, last a lifetime and you can stand in it I'm 6'2 and have zero issues standing Had mine 6 years use it 50 days a year still looks like new
r/camping • Yurt or traditional tent ->Oh and sets up in 15 mins one person
r/camping • Yurt or traditional tent ->I love my Kodiak canvas tent. I have the 10x10 but they have a variety of sizes
r/CampingGear • Looking for recommendation on all season four person tent for scouts ->Second the Kodiak love my 10x10 very well made with durable canvas
r/CampingGear • Looking for a new tough car camping tent ->This data seems a bit skewed how is Slingfin or Hilleberg not on this list. It's interesting that the Flex Bow and Springbow made the list though as the only 2 Canvas tents they are by far the easiest of canvas tents to setup. I feel like I have done some decent research on tents before and never heard of Durston.
r/CampingGear • I analyzed Reddit data for the 25 most recommended camping tents (in the past year) ->If I’m car camping I’m taking the Kodiak flexbow. 10x14 and pray it fits the allowable spot lol. I’m also taking my dewalt impact drill and lags instead of stakes. I can have it up in a couple minutes. I’m also bringing my dewalt air inflator and exped mega because why not.
