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.

This is the way. If I’m alone and doing something like a multi day road trip, where I’m pulling off to sleep, or I’m driving 6 hours after work to fish in the morning and just want to pass out when I get up there, I’ll puff up my air mattress and pass out in the back. Level it off with blankets and shove my gear next to me. Anything else, and we pitch anything between a limelight 2p to a 16x16 Kodiak tent with a wood stove (and a few in between). If you like the idea of simplicity and being able to easily stay where you are, or go adventure with minimal prep, what we did was get the MOLLE rear panels and shelf, and outfit them with all your shit (wipes, hand sanitizer, paper towel, a micro burner and two cans of ISOpro, mess kit, few packs of Mountsin House grub, water bottles, flashlights, lighters, etc. Then we keep the 2p tent, air mattresses, sleeping bags and camping chairs in the roof top case, so anywhere we are, we have pretty comfortable accommodations, and any time we have a planned trip, all we have to do is pack a cooler with some better food, or maybe a bigger tent, etc but all the small things are always already packed and ready, and you still have your trunk for cargo space. https://preview.redd.it/1c3ldztijpeg1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68c8e3b3b6f356d5b8b264449bc5f6103cc69827 (Ignore the mess. Focus on the happy dog).

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.
