Kodiak Canvas - Flex-Bow VX 10x14 ft.

Kodiak 10x14 works for me. The expense was worth it. Plenty of ventilation if it’s warm. Retains heat when it’s cold. I use a camp buddy heater to knock the chill off. Bass Pro shops zero degree bag and a Coleman cot. I used 1/2” thick rubber cut to the size of a salad plate to place under the feet of the cot to keep from damaging the floor of the tent.

That’s my family camping rig and my legs get absolutely destroyed when the parking lot is more than 50’ from the campsites.

I fold. I tell my wife that I don’t go to the gym for her, I do it for the Kodiak.

We were camping on New Years day, and have camped 4.5 months in total since the middle of September. What is this "begun" you speak of? https://i.imgur.com/DSxJnfL.jpg (from our first trip in a long string of camping this fall/winter/spring) If anybody's interested it's the Kodiak Canvas Flexbow 10x14 Deluxe VX.

We love our 10x14 Kodiak Flexbow 10x14 Deluxe VX (they make a number of sizes). As a canvas tent, it's relatively heavy, but it's a breeze to set up, has plenty of head room, and is practically impervious to weather. https://scontent-den2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/385495870_10103712132089821_5842193021876582269_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=tVPsiKUrWb0Q7kNvgG9Bxlz&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.xx&_nc_gid=AOTxMlqdIZRKbzIPVfYpm9s&oh=00_AYCvSHeKsUyowZE5Jw0JLL4EDS8qtc62pZcG3B71wGWHXA&oe=675814FF Other than the weight (which you indicate isn't an issue) the only real downside is you can't store a canvas tent wet, which can necessitate setting it up again when you get home if you experience rain at the end of your trip.

If you’re car camping check out Kodiak Canvas http://kodiakcanvas.com Big fan of the canvas and they should be tall enough for you (flexbow or cabin)

Have you met my friend the Kodiak 10x14?

I use mine for desert camping. It can take a pounding wind-wise.

We have 2 cots and got a Kodiak 10 foot x 14 foot canvas tent. We joke that it's like two separate ZIP codes when we camp now. It's heavy, but we car camp anyway.

Flexbow (or springbar) for sure as long as you don't have to carry it far! Amazing tents! Super comfortable inside

I would at least give the canvas "fast assembly" tents a good look. I have the Kodiak flexbow vx 10x14 and love it.

Hahahaha 80 pounds in the poles alone. These boys don't understand the wall tent / wood stove paradise. Love my Kodiak.

I'll second this. I am 6'3" and have plenty of room in it. Super fast set up too with lag screws and a drill.

+1 for Kodiak flexbow vx

Kodiak Canvas Flex-Bow VX. I’m 6’3” and can easily stand in it anywhere in the tent. Very durable & strong. I’ve been in desert winds with 45 mph gusts and the tent did great. All other tents at the campground packed up and went home .

They make a 10’x10’ and a 10x14’ version. Since you’ll be camping 3 weeks per month, it’d be worth it to have the extra room of the 10x14 — provided there’s enough space at the sites you’ll be staying

If 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.

Springbar 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.

As a happy Gazelle T4 owner for a family of 4 this is a good mention. It's our 3rd favorite out of about 10 tents floating around in the garage. That's still high praise. We've used this one more times than I can count. OP should look into this and the larger variations. Look around for the cheapest prices, especially if you're flexible on color. The T4 is a tight fit inside for a family of four. There's also no stove jack nor would I ever install one. In winds, you'll want to stake down the sides or they'll blow in (this is from the experience). The rain fly has been adequate enough but we've not had it out in a driving rain. It doesn't pack well since it's mostly pitched even when packed. You'll need a vehicle with enough length somewhere to transport it. For the good parts, pitching this tent has got to be one of the easiest ever. Maybe a couple minutes to pop open, stake down the corners and done. Adding the rain fly takes just a bit more and if it's windy, line out and stake down the sides when you get a few more minutes. Even one of my kids say it's the easiest tent to pitch ever. It's our go-to if our campout will be for only a night or two in decent weather. I've even used it when it's just me because it's so darn easy to pitch. We've had ours for 4 years now and it'll easily make it another 4 years. Our family rates the Gazelle tent 3rd because we've had a Kodiak Flex-Bow style canvas tent for 10 years now. I'd guess this one takes 10 minutes to set up, including staking it. This canvas tent handles rain better, and in high winds the flapping is low pitched rather than high pitched noises and gives us double the space inside. I expect this tent will last another 10 or 20 years. It's double your budget, but I bet this tent would last 2 or 3 times as long as the Gazelle and have more space for family and pets. If you wait until Black Friday and it's like last year, expect some nice discounts.

Kodiak canvas flex bow ⛺️ . It's like having a room. The con is its big and heavy. Easy to put up with one person though. 

The Kodiak Flex Bow tent works for me.

I came here to recommend Kodiak tents too! Great tents!!

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 recently bought a Kodiak. I agree it's heavy but it's an amazing tent. Dry and warm when I was camping with 25° overnight lows and mixed precipitation.

I have a Kodiak. It is wonderful. Heavy as fuck, but when we’re car camping for 2 weeks at the same spot, it is worth it.

For the record, the. Springbar equivalent to my 800 dollar Kodiak (premium product) is over $1200 more expensive. It’s nice to say “buy American,” but the price is prohibitively more.

A good week or two tent would be a nice Kodiak. Sturdy, can stand up in it, probably fit your needs nicely.

I’ve purchased Kodiak tents of them and they’re great quality, they come up a lot on gumtree for sale. Can’t speak to their own brand.

Just get a Kodiak tent if you want a tough large tent and are willing to pay top dollar for it. Lasts forever and 1000s of reviews

Have you looked at a Kodiak or Springbar tent? They're heavy, but bombproof. They're not hard to set up either, and don't get like a sauna in the middle of the day.
