"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"It plugs right into the power source for the lane assist and hides inside the housing for it so I can basically just forget it’s there until I need to grab a clip."
"Dream to fit as it connects to existing "safety eye camera" around rear vision mirror. ... Took 5 minutes. Could do it in one minute next time."

"It stood up to a tornado i got hit with on my last backpacking trip in missouri."
"it literally survived a tornado while set up. I just had to stake it back down."
"surprisingly solid tent for hunkering down for a day or two in very wet and stormy Wyoming weather. ... exceed the quality of a lot of Western branded mid range tents in the $500 USD pricing tier based on my experience of seeing colleagues with a couple of very well known and popular mid tiered tents struggling under stronger winds and wetter weather."

"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."

"They have large windows on each side and in the back. Also a door and window in the front. ... They are made of canvas and breathe - so they're not like a sauna inside during the summer - even during the day. ... Sometimes its even a little cooler inside due to the shade. I've taken a nap in ours in the afternoon."
"Temperature wise, phenomenal. Got to sleep till 10-11am every day without having to crawl out, gasping for fresh air"

"I love having lots of space for me and the dog and my stuff."
"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."

"heavy as hell"
"getting stressed out about the whole process of plugging in, lifting, storing the giant Kirby and not vacuuming at all in the end."
"You do NOT want a Kirby if you have stairs - trust me."

"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."

"I like my Kodiak but the brightness is an issue ... It's a real killer for trying to plan super late/sunrise adventures when you can't get back and rest well at dawn."
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
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I came here to recommend Kodiak tents too! Great tents!!
r/camping • Recommendations for a tent for two cots ->I use a Kodiak. Use my ATV to haul it in, pretty bulky but bombproof.
r/BuyItForLife • Is there such thing as a “good” tent? ->My wife and I went with a kodiak canvas tent, but we also use it in all seasons. It was nice because the higher walls made setting up the pack and play a breeze. Plus there were plenty of ways to rig up a portable sound machine and fan too. We got that so we can extend our camping into all seasons (they are fantastic with a wood stove when it's cold out). They take a little more time to set up, but they are worth it. I got a spare canvas to throw under the tent floor as a ground sheet - that just helps add another layer between the tent and the dirt and debris. I also got rolls of cheap carpet from lowes/home depot for the inside of the tent, it just made it a little more comfortable and helps after you tear down. You can shake out the rugs and roll on. They are more pricey than the ones you mentioned, but also a lot more durable. Even with site prep she and I were able to get it set up in under an hour. If interested I can drop some links to the tent and some of the other acoutremant we included.
r/camping • Please help me pick a tent, I've gone down too long of a rabbit hole ->https://kodiakcanvas.com/collections/cabin-tents/products/12x12-cabin-lodge-tent-sr-stove-ready We went with this one. And no we didn't have issues with there not being dividers! We didn't use them but we did have provisions to make dividers if needed. There's a way to string a line inside the tent and you could section off a portion with something like a sheet/tarp/blackout curtain and some shower curtain clips. We liked this because we can get the awning down the line if we feel we need more room for gear storage, a sheltered kitchen area, a changing area or whatever you need. We also got a portable privacy shelter to use as a restroom and a collapsible toilet that holds wag bags. Not the most glamorous solution but it works lol
r/camping • Please help me pick a tent, I've gone down too long of a rabbit hole ->Also love our Kodiak wall tent. Amazing for setting up for several days somewhere. Such a tank.
r/BuyItForLife • Is there such thing as a “good” tent? ->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
r/camping • Very annoyed I didn’t buy a tent last week. ->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.
r/camping • Alternatives to plastic tents? ->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)
r/BurningMan • Shiftpod Expedition Review - Post Burn ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Is there such thing as a “good” tent? ->I love my 100-lb Kodiak but boy do I hate moving it 😂
r/camping • Alternatives to plastic tents? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
