"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"
"I forgot I had my fenix on and did a mud run. Didn’t even phase my watch. Literally dragged it through the mud and it just kept going."
"I've put them through the washer and dryer."

"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."

"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"I also loved how tall it was, you can probably stand up straight even as a tall person. ... Standing up straight in a tent is a game changer"
"I'm 6'3 and can stand up in it."

"This is our 3rd year with this! ... We love it for the fact that longer trips are easier. ... worth it for the comfortability! ... for longer trips and hunting / fishing, we like our comfort haha"
"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."

"Kodiak comes with the stove jack. ... I believe all of them are 5" ports."
"Yes absolutely. We use the tent without the stove all the time, the stove jack seals up so no issues leaking if there's rain. ... We can usually keep it cool in there if there's a little breeze"

"it can be a pain setting up something with such a large footprint in some sites so make sure you book one where it will fit."
"We have a six person tent (wawowna 6) and have definitely been to more than a couple campsites that wouldn't fit it with the vestibule out."
"It does have like any 2p trekking pole tent a huge footprint. ... Not always great in the mountains."

"traveling with it is painful. ... The pack size is huge and heavy."
"the packed size, it's fkn big ... You really need to be sure you can fit it in your car or be prepared to strap it to the top. ... When I had a Jeep, it BARELY fit! Bottom right corner. When I shut the tailgate, it would nudge it and that was having to move the passenger seat up as far as I could and still be able to sit in the seat."
"It's about the size of 12 by 12 popup shelter folded up."
1ScreamCheesePlzI'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
Ambrose_Bierce1I use a Kodiak. Use my ATV to haul it in, pretty bulky but bombproof.
bisonbear120Also love our Kodiak wall tent. Amazing for setting up for several days somewhere. Such a tank.
CasinoAccountantdude 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
FireRisinWith1nMy 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.
headphaseI 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)
hndjbsfrjesusTrue. 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.
New_Professional_295Another plus for the Kodiak. Every year I have a fun debate with my camp on which is the superior tent. Shiftpods do ALOT of things well, but after this year, I have no doubt about my Kodiak. Trudging through the mud from my friends mud caked RVs into our dry Kodiak was incredible. Every single shiftpod in our camp had soggy floors. Some fared better than others Never once thought of it during the apocalyptic dust storm, was able to fully focus my attention on my shade and our camps lounge. I’ve had mine for 6 years now, easily 20+ events. I think I paid $400 for it back then? The only part that is showing wear is on the case, one of the straps is getting frayed.
OverlyPersonalI cannot believe the price differential. Shiftpods started off priced closer to Kodiak, now shiftpods are practically 3x the cost of their fanciest largest tent. If anything breaks or I lose something I can order that specific part direct from the manufacturer too. Kodiak all day baby, it’s not even close.
preddevils6For the record, the. Springbar equivalent to my 800 dollar Kodiak (premium product) is over $1200 more expensive. It’s nice to say “buy American,” but the price is prohibitively more.
