Kodiak Canvas - Flex-Bow VX 10x14 ft.

I loved my 10x14 Kodiak canvas tent anytime I took it out. Thing was huge and had an annex outside too. Do it.

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

I’d get a way bigger tent but that’s just me. Rocking a 10x14 flex bow for only 1 toddler

Kodiak or Springbar canvas tent. For 6 people you’ll want a 10x14. They’re pricey but very worth it IMO.

Well, with 5 people plus 2 dogs, space and airflow are going to matter a lot especially in Colorado weather. Between the two, the bell tent is better for more space and feeling less cramped which makes a big difference with kids and dogs moving around but it's setup takes a bit more effort. Kodiak 10×14 is also good quality and much easier to pitch but with that many people inside, it can start to feel tight unless you’re really organized with sleeping layouts. Ventilation-wise, Kodiak is good with the windows, though bell tents can still stay comfortable if you manage the doors and vents properly.

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.

I have a Kodiak 10 X 14 flexbow. Though it is heavy, it is quicker and easier to setup than my 4 person Coleman. If you get a tent with a lot of stake points, get a drill attachment. It makes things quick as well.

It’s only a problem when you can’t find a large enough piece of flat ground to set it up on. Besides that, enjoy the space.  I take a 10x14 canvas Kodiak tent for myself when I go camping, because I hate being cramped and crowded and the extra comfort is worth the effort to set it up 

Look at Kodiak canvas flexbow 10x14 or 10x10. Canvas tents you can stand in and are very well made. And they set up solo in less than 10 minutes.

Absolutely. I love my Kodiak.

We have a Kodiak 10x14 for our crew (only one kid and one dog though) and it’s honestly been a tank in crazy Colorado weather. Super easy to pitch after a couple of tries, and the ventilation is a lifesaver when the sun is blazing. Have you thought about maybe grabbing a Kodiak AND a separate little dog tent or screen house? Or splitting up the crew between two tents on longer trips?

We have a kingdom 6 we still use sometimes and love, but we also added a 10 x 14 Kodiak Canvas VX tent and it is a palace for a family of 4 and 2 dogs. It is a big, heavy, bulky kinda situation - but really comfortable in all conditions we’ve used it in (no snow though, as we’re in Southern California and do most of our camping Spring through Fall).  Aaaand - just remembered to scroll up and check which sub I am in - so disclaimer that Kodiak isn’t sold at REI. 

We’ve found it to be well worth it! As far as quirks… - it took me a couple of times to get the hang of staking it right to ensure it pitches nice and taut - you cannot put it away wet, moist, damp or any of the above. This means sometimes you have to pitch it when you get back home because even just the morning dew from a beach camping trip doesn’t dry by the time you need to pack to head home. Whereas our other tents would always be bone dry within just a little while of the sun coming up.  But it’s comfortable, it stays cooler inside, and has withstood heavy rains and winds with no problems. 

Agreed. I have the 10x14 Kodiak and love it. Canvas is the way to go if you don't want to have to replace a tent every few years.

I think canvas is better but as with most things in this world it is personal preference. I grew up using nylon/polyester tents and just last year made the choice to buy a canvas tent and wish I had years ago. Since I don't have family going with me I purchased the 10x14 flexbow and can easily set it up and take down by myself and i'm 60 years old and plan on it being the last tent I ever purchase. Good luck and hope you enjoy which ever you decide to get.

I don't have personal experience with White duck tents but from what I have read and researched they are very similar in quality. I bought a Kodiak 10x14 flexbow on sale last year after freezing my butt off deer hunting during Thanksgiving in a cheap walmart tent and ordered my flexbow the next week.

I recommend the buy once cry once strategy. I invested in a Kodiak 10x14 flexbow canvas tent and enjoy the reliability and ease to setup.

Springbar or Kodiak. Both have their pluses and minuses. I also love to take my 28" Blackstone with me while camping.

As a kodiak 10x14 owner I would think that the 10x14 is going to feel a little cramped for 5 people and 2 dogs. You might consider a kodiak cabin tent. I have found the best prices here.
