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

"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"

"sleeps 4 VERY comfortably and you can stand up and get dressed"

"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."
"don't get like a sauna in the middle of the day"

"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."
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 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. ->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? ->Another plus for the Kodiak. Every year I have a fun debate with my camp on which is the superior tent. Shiftpods do ALOT of things well, but after this year, I have no doubt about my Kodiak. 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. I’ve had mine for 6 years now, easily 20+ events. I think I paid $400 for it back then? The only part that is showing wear is on the case, one of the straps is getting frayed.
r/BurningMan • Shiftpod Expedition Review - Post Burn ->I cannot believe the price differential. Shiftpods started off priced closer to Kodiak, now shiftpods are practically 3x the cost of their fanciest largest tent. If anything breaks or I lose something I can order that specific part direct from the manufacturer too. Kodiak all day baby, it’s not even close.
r/BurningMan • Shiftpod Expedition Review - Post Burn ->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.
r/camping • Very annoyed I didn’t buy a tent last week. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
