I can vouch for the Kodiak. Best tent I've had. Quality is excellent, bone dry and handles the wind extremely well. The canvas breaths so condensation not nearly the concern as with synthetic material. If you take care of it, it may very well be the last tent you ever need to buy, which makes it a bit easier to justify the cost.
Car camping or is someone going to have to pack it.
For an absolutely comfortable and durable experience, I cannot recommend the Kodiak flexion (canvas) enough. Absolutely fantastic tent. Literally the only issue is weight. It is quite heavy.
For cub scouts it's perfect, and it will last decades. Also, you can comfortably fit like 8 kids in one if the other kids are unprepared.
All these nylon tent recommendations, meanwhile in 10+ years into a Kodiak canvas I can use 4 season with room and comfort to spare.
Canvas is the way to go. Worth the weight and pack size penalty for the climate control, comfort, durability, and weather protection any day
Have you looked at the Flexbow canvas tents? They are a bit pricey but will last forever if you do your part and take care of them. The one I have is the best tent I have ever owned. Doesn't leak and has stood up to 40 MPH desert winds.
I 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 .
The Kodiak flex-bow is very simple and quick to set up but it’s big and heavy. Also, it’s not self-standing so you have to get the stakes into the ground for it to work.
