"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."
"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"
"the only tent that seemed to be standing sturdy in every camp was a springbar style canvas tent. ... the kodiaks were hassle free and a lot of people just lagged the 4 corners. those mf'ers are the real deal. ... will withstand any weather"

"After 10 years of music festivals and Outerbanks week long fishing trips, there is not much wear on the ol' Kodiak."

"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."
SCR05 0.0This data seems a bit skewed how is Slingfin or Hilleberg not on this list. It's interesting that the Flex Bow and Springbow made the list though as the only 2 Canvas tents they are by far the easiest of canvas tents to setup. I feel like I have done some decent research on tents before and never heard of Durston.
xkingpin 0.0If I’m car camping I’m taking the Kodiak flexbow. 10x14 and pray it fits the allowable spot lol. I’m also taking my dewalt impact drill and lags instead of stakes. I can have it up in a couple minutes. I’m also bringing my dewalt air inflator and exped mega because why not.
Academic_Cabinet_994 0.0I have a Kodiak canvas flex-bow tent that I used 4 seasons, its sturdy metal poles held up through a lot of snowfall and it was fine in the summer in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming mostly .
bloobeard 0.0Used this from a buddy in Joshua tree. Really nice car camping, felt like a room and not a tent.
fcb1313 0.0I love my Kodiak, My wife and I used it for several years before buying motorhome. I'm 6' tall and have plenty of space. It is an 8x12 I think. room for two twin intex inflatable beds and gear.
hollis3 0.0I don't have much in terms of comparing the wall tents, but I do have a Kodiak Flex-Bow tent. In the pictures it looks plastic, but they are canvas tents which come with an additional weather coating on them. Definitely not a plastic tent. It's been in heavy rain and winds with no issues.
jollydoody 0.0Our Kodiak Canvas Flex-Bow was one of the only tents or canopies left standing on two separate beach camping trips where we faced heavy winds. Packed up, it weighs more and takes up more space but love that I can rely on it under those circumstances.
kevinmogee 0.0Springbar or Flexbow is definitely the answer. Staying in one place for two weeks is worth spending the extra coin on a really nice tent. I think Springbar tents have a lifetime warranty, and they are known to last 30-40 years.
kkent1 0.0The one that fits your needs. Car camping 4 seasons = Kodiak canvas flexbow or a Spring Bar tent is good. Backpacking 4 seasons tents = North Face Small car camping tent = Cabela’s dome tent Two rooms = Gazelle. Car camping 4 seasons White duck bell tent .
Nicegy525 0.0Canvas wall tent will give you the most comfort. Kodiak makes a flex bow canvas tent. You want one tall enough to fully stand up, room for a full size cot and a chair/small table. If you can get access to electricity, you can charge battery banks and run a small fan plus small string lights or battery lanterns. You can buy battery banks plus a solar charger to keep them topped off.
