   Easy to set up, so much space for all your things plus more. Waterproof! As long as your ok with it being nearly 100lbs this is a fabulous tent. No more flimsy pole tents for me.

   Edit: Since first posting this review – I’ve had this tent out on three more camping trips. All of them have been 5 – 7 days. The last two (one in Fall 2018, and 2019 Memorial Weekend/Week) I’ve experienced many days of rain, and a few days of all out storms. Last fall, I lost my canopy and some other equipment, but the Kodiak held up. This past camping trip, I forgot the ground tarp. We had several storms roll through with heavy rain and wind. The tent held up fine, and when packing it up, I was absolutely stunned to find the bottom of the tent totally dry. It seemed to fare better without the ground tarp in that aspect. I can’t say enough about this tent – it’s really holding up to all the conditions. I’ve since added carpet and even a 4 foot table to the interior of the tent. This fall we are planning an island camping trip where I’m going to be forced to drop some of my gear to be able to fit it on the boat — the tent is coming though – because it’s the most important part of my camping trips other then water and food. My first canvas tent. I’ve always wanted one, but most are hard to impossible for 1 person to setup. Being a single dad with small children, I’ve stuck with easier nylon tents. This year, after blowing through a 3rd nylon tent in 3 years, I decided to look for something better quality. I first was on the fence with the price. I knew canvas cost more, but I wanted a good size, stand up in tent. After reading reviews and watching videos, I knew the Kodiak Canvas 14×10 was what I wanted. When I saw a weekend sale on it, I got it for a decent price on whatcampingtent.com. Delivery was quick. I did the initial setup and seasoning on a stretch of warm and sunny days so I knew I could put it up, get it wet, and dry it out quick. Setup was pretty easy, only requiring a little muscle to get the two support poles in. Everything else was a cinch. The quality of the tent stood out – everything from the tent stakes to the structure itself speaks of quality. The windows are great – my only complaint would be the awning poles – I think telescoping poles would be much more appropriate to adjust height – rather then having to angle them during rain. They also could’ve used a little more height – I have to duck under it a little to get in and out of the tent. It’s not taking off a star, or even a half, it’s one of the only things they could improve on in my opinion. Everything else is so well thought out – and the storage bag is definitely a step in the right direction. 40 years of stuffing stuff into storage bags that don’t fit right – Kodiak got this one perfect! I did get the tent out on a week long camping trip this past week. It performed great, and sleeping in canvas is so much more comfortable then nylon. We got a variety of weather – hot and humid, cold, rain (although not a downpour). The lowest was around 45F, the highest was 87F. I ran a small Mr. Heater to warm the tent up during the coldest night, and it worked great in the Kodiak Canvas. I also ran it at the end to help dry out the tent after rain the previous day. Worked like a charm – although the awning was still a little wet due to water pooling on it – so be careful of that – even a little rain will puddle up in the awning – with just goes to show how waterproof the material is. Great investment – I expect this tent to last for years.

   REALLY! Over $700.00 (can) for this beautiful tent and you send those useless pegs. Come on you can do better.

   We absolutely LOVE this tent. It’s HUGE. So easy to set up too. I do it by myself in about 10 minutes if you count staking it down and putting up the awning. The re-packing design is brilliant. No more trying to stuff the tent into a bag it won’t fit in anymore. It’s definitely heavy so backpackers this tent is NOT for you. The poles come in a separate bag as well. This is great for families or people who just like to have a lot of room (which is us). We put a Queen Coleman cot/air mattress on one side and our belongings on the other with room to walk around, get dressed, etc. Tent heater works amazing for those cold nights. Ours went through rain and wind last season and it has held up perfectly, no leaks. When it rains, the inside doesn’t feel soaked through, just damp. Nothing a tent heater can’t help dry up! And it dries super fast. It rained in the morning the day we were leaving a festival and by the time we were ready to pack it up, it was completely dry. The design works so well in the wind, ours barely moved in a pretty windy thunderstorm. Totally worth the money. If you take good care of it, it should last you forever! Kind of wish I had the upgrade with the cabin door and the extra awning which you can enclose but this works perfectly for us!
