"Best tent I’ve ever owned. ... The cost is nearly double than they were back then, but I would not think twice to buy one if I was in the market for another."


"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."

"Very durable & strong. ... I’ve been in desert winds with 45 mph gusts and the tent did great. All other tents at the campground packed up and went home ."


"Literally dozens of muddy fests, camping trips, and general tom-foolery and the only damage is due to abuse. If I treated it right I expect I would be practically new still."


"I also have a Kodiak canvas 10x14, had it 13 years now in CA with a family of 4. I’ve used it in all seasons, rain, wind and sun."

"We have 2 cots and got a Kodiak 10 foot x 14 foot canvas tent. ... We joke that it's like two separate ZIP codes when we camp now."

"I take a 10x14 canvas Kodiak tent for myself when I go camping, because I hate being cramped and crowded and the extra comfort is worth the effort to set it up"

I loved my 10x14 Kodiak canvas tent anytime I took it out. Thing was huge and had an annex outside too. Do it.

Kodiak 10x14 works for me. The expense was worth it. Plenty of ventilation if it’s warm. Retains heat when it’s cold. I use a camp buddy heater to knock the chill off. Bass Pro shops zero degree bag and a Coleman cot. I used 1/2” thick rubber cut to the size of a salad plate to place under the feet of the cot to keep from damaging the floor of the tent.

I’d get a way bigger tent but that’s just me. Rocking a 10x14 flex bow for only 1 toddler

We were camping on New Years day, and have camped 4.5 months in total since the middle of September. What is this "begun" you speak of? https://i.imgur.com/DSxJnfL.jpg (from our first trip in a long string of camping this fall/winter/spring) If anybody's interested it's the Kodiak Canvas Flexbow 10x14 Deluxe VX.

It’s only a problem when you can’t find a large enough piece of flat ground to set it up on. Besides that, enjoy the space.  I take a 10x14 canvas Kodiak tent for myself when I go camping, because I hate being cramped and crowded and the extra comfort is worth the effort to set it up

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.

We have a kingdom 6 we still use sometimes and love, but we also added a 10 x 14 Kodiak Canvas VX tent and it is a palace for a family of 4 and 2 dogs. It is a big, heavy, bulky kinda situation - but really comfortable in all conditions we’ve used it in (no snow though, as we’re in Southern California and do most of our camping Spring through Fall).  Aaaand - just remembered to scroll up and check which sub I am in - so disclaimer that Kodiak isn’t sold at REI.

We’ve found it to be well worth it! As far as quirks… - it took me a couple of times to get the hang of staking it right to ensure it pitches nice and taut - you cannot put it away wet, moist, damp or any of the above. This means sometimes you have to pitch it when you get back home because even just the morning dew from a beach camping trip doesn’t dry by the time you need to pack to head home. Whereas our other tents would always be bone dry within just a little while of the sun coming up.  But it’s comfortable, it stays cooler inside, and has withstood heavy rains and winds with no problems.

Agreed. I have the 10x14 Kodiak and love it. Canvas is the way to go if you don't want to have to replace a tent every few years.

I think canvas is better but as with most things in this world it is personal preference. I grew up using nylon/polyester tents and just last year made the choice to buy a canvas tent and wish I had years ago. Since I don't have family going with me I purchased the 10x14 flexbow and can easily set it up and take down by myself and i'm 60 years old and plan on it being the last tent I ever purchase. Good luck and hope you enjoy which ever you decide to get.

I don't have personal experience with White duck tents but from what I have read and researched they are very similar in quality. I bought a Kodiak 10x14 flexbow on sale last year after freezing my butt off deer hunting during Thanksgiving in a cheap walmart tent and ordered my flexbow the next week.

We have 2 cots and got a Kodiak 10 foot x 14 foot canvas tent. We joke that it's like two separate ZIP codes when we camp now. It's heavy, but we car camp anyway.
