Kodiak Canvas - 12x16 Cabin Lodge Tent SR (Stove Ready)

Kodiak 6170 or their larger 12x16 model. There's also an add on room that adds another 8x10ft I think? Accommodates a wood stove. I (5ft5 female) can put it up and take it down by myself though actually moving it is a bit of work, I can do that too (I prefer to use a wagon or cart when I can, though, won't lie). [**www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxavrHmJjZU**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxavrHmJjZU) is one of them all tricked out. We have a MUCH more basic setup ourselves since we're coming and going often while building our house. So we're more like 2 mattresses and a stove in winter. I do recommend a pot of water on the stove at night. At least in our case, it gets really dry. That little bit of steam really keeps the sinuses happy.

I went with the Kodiak 12x16 Stove ready lodge tent and a Four Dogs ‘Big Dog’ stove. For the money, I think this is the best combination. My wife really wanted the windows and floor the Kodiak tent has and the Four Dogs stove heated it great. I noticed there is a difference between “cotton canvas” and “duck canvas” which is why the Davis Tent or more traditional wall tents are a little heavier, but everywhere I researched owners of the Kodiak tents raved about them and with the additional features it seemed to be the right choice. But at this point only time will tell how this combo will hold up!

Also love our Kodiak wall tent. Amazing for setting up for several days somewhere. Such a tank.

I'll never not own an instant tent for normal camping. I have my kodiak for desert camping but go instant if youre going on a normal forest trip lol

I use a Kodiak. Use my ATV to haul it in, pretty bulky but bombproof.

dude I ordered last week when it became very obvious what was going to happen, I might have the last kodiak tent out of saigon lmfao

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. I also have a small backpacking tent for when I'm camping somewhere I can't access with a vehicle.

Agree with canvas bell, but that they can and should spring for a better, more reputable, and waranteed brand. Never seen Vevor sold outside of Amazon, fwiw, but I happened upon one at a festival and didn't like the look of that "Oxford cloth". Probably user error, but it looked very slack in places and thin - flapping in the wind exactly the way a canvas tent shouldn't. White Duck, Kodiak, and Psyclone(Australian) are all great options in that price range for a 2-man, plus there'll be options for window count and removable floor. Psyclone has a roof pole that eliminates the need for the guyline at the door, blessedly - and these are all likely on Amazon as well, for free Prime shipping, obvs

I like my Kodiak but the brightness is an issue; is there any way to effectively control the light level? It's a real killer for trying to plan super late/sunrise adventures when you can't get back and rest well at dawn. (Inb4 eye mask)

True. After 10 years of music festivals and Outerbanks week long fishing trips, there is not much wear on the ol' Kodiak. It's definitely a car camping tent unless you love toting heavy packs.
