"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 best part is the huge vestibule. ... On super rainy days we can set up our camp chairs in there and cook with the stove no problem, the dogs sleep out there and it's a great place to dry stuff."
"I’m 6’4” and I have plenty of room ... I sleep on the diagonal just for extra head room but I can fit straight across ... I can sit straight up in the tent and move around ... there’s still room in the tent for most of the extra gear in my pack"
"Can fit 2 cots, 2 camp chairs, and the dog bed no problem."

"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"
"Never once thought of it during the apocalyptic dust storm, was able to fully focus my attention on my shade and our camps lounge."

"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"

"It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. ... Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. ... Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. ... The camera is seriously flawed."

"At four kilos, it is one of the smaller speakers in the boombox class. ... Hahaha, I can tell you, this thing is a big chunk. ... When I held it in my hand for the first time, I also thought it was far too big."
"Move 2 was too big to move around. ... I'm in an urban apartment so not a big enough space to have Sonos everywhere"
"The skydome 6p is enormous and weighs 19 lbs. ... You wouldn't ever want to hike with these tents."
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 have the Kodiak canvas 10x10 flexbow. It is an ideal size for 2 people sleeping on cots, there is ample room inside.
r/camping • Looking for a high-quality tent for car camping in Utah ->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? ->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. ->I love my Kodiak canvas tent. I have the 10x10 but they have a variety of sizes
r/CampingGear • Looking for recommendation on all season four person tent for scouts ->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 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.
r/camping • Kodiak Tent vs Davis Tent wall tent/hot tent ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
