I’ve used the Kodiak and highly recommend it for most circumstances. All tents are compromises. The Kodiak does not compromise quality construction. Read the user reviews on Amazon and the outdoor websites. You’ll get a feel as to whether or not this is the right tent for you. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time."

I also have a Kodiak 6 person (10' x 10" I think) I used it one summer for a trip to Alaska and back. It made camping possible. I stayed in the campgrounds of state and provincial parks and one national park - Jasper. The only problem I had was rather significant. When I put the tent away wet and went to set it up again the next day it was super difficult to deploy the springbar. I figure the fabric is designed to shrink to close the pores and stop leaking. There were at least two occasions when I thought that I was going to have to look for an alternative to camping, and I hadn't made a plan B. But I did manage to get it set up, and I did put a permanent bend in the spring bars a little. Eventually I solved the problem when I got a heater. Each morning when the tent was wet I ran the heater a while on high to at least partially dry the fabric, before taking it down and packing for the day's journey. At least I think that solved the problem but I'll need to test it some more to be sure. None of the reviews I've seen mention this. I'm wondering if it's unique to the Kodiak. ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron. Yet there are many radicalized republicans.

I bought the smaller 6x8 by 4 high Kodiak for Jeep camping. Its sturdy and simple to set up. Not a lightweight but will hold up in rainy windy weather. Love the design. | |||

I've got three Kodiaks now. I started by borrowing a buddy's 10x10 for some Scout outings. It worked so well that I bought the 10x14, which we use for family camping and Scouting. You can stuff a lot of Scouts in there... I followed that up with the smaller 6x8 for use as a truck tent or to accompany the larger tent on Scout outings when leaders/adults are separate. It works well for that, but I missed being able to stand up, so I went ahead and got the 9x8. This is the perfect tent for solo glamping. It's perfectly sized to fit my fat-guy cot with 3" sleeping pad and large cowboy bedroll, a small table for a little cookstove (bedside coffee anyone?), and a comfy camp chair. Now I have a tent for any occasion (except backpacking, but that's a whole different ball game). _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

Ive set up some nice spike camps with such tents, not sure of the make...a butane stove to cook and morning heat while dressing, but do not leave those burners on during the night and even while cooing its a good idea to crack the flap door for fresh air...Use the portable packer sheet metal wood burner for heat and coffee warmer...backed up with a 8 mile hunt back to the main camp in day or two. Don't forget to resupply on next trip out.Spike camps add a lot of success to elk hunting these days.
