Best Tent Ever
This is my second Kodiak tent. I need a smaller one to carry in canoe and this one does perfect. The quality is second to none. I used the orange sand screws from Walmart while camping on the beach and it worked great. Kodiak is the only tent for me

Mr.
I purchased this tent because, as a 71yo solo car camper, I needed a tent that was easy to pitch and absolutely bombproof. This is that tent. I'm fortunate that I still have the flexibility and mobility to use this style of tent. I feel completely secure in this tent in any weather conditions short of a tornado. Here are my pros and cons. PRO: This tent is remarkably adaptive to any weather conditions. Cool in the heat, warm in the cold. Completely waterproof and free of condensation. Breathable, excellent ventilation. Solid, tough construction. Light enough that I can carry it from car to camp site. Easy setup; no fly to deal with. Can withstand winds of 60+MPH. No nylon tent I've ever owned in the past 30 years has felt this solid, rugged, and secure. CON: One concession to my age has been a cot, and this tent is just a tad too small to fit comfortably an average-sized cot. My 75x25 Coleman just barely fits lengthwise, but it does touch the walls due to the slope of the sidewalls. The design is really intended for sleeping on the ground with a sleeping pad. Add a cot, a small portable table and camping chair, with minimal gear stowed under the cot, and the tent is full and feels just a bit cramped. If I have to hunker down for a long period of time due to inclement weather, I have to break the cot down. I make do with this because the tent is so bombproof it makes up for the lack of room. The other large con is lack of an awning/vestibule. Kodiak has said that an awning is not needed because the roof is only 4' high, and you couldn't really sit under it. But they neglect to consider that an awning pitched low with stakes and guy lines would make a fine vestibule where you could cook in bad weather, as well as serve as a small dry crawlspace to get into the tent in inclement weather by protecting the door opening. Most every nylon tent has this nice feature, and it would not be hard to add in future designs of this tent. NITPICKS: There are only two small plastic rings for clipping on items such as lanterns, fans, organizers; one over each V-window. There can easily be more. And a future 9x7 "deluxe" model of this tent might include a stargazer window in the roof, but this might not be possible due to the bowflex construction. Conclusion: I LOVE this tent. As a senior, it gives me a level of security and comfort in tent camping I was not getting in nylon tents. Were it not for this tent I might not be tent camping at all. Thanks for reading.

Stands strong against wind
I'm late to reviewing this tent, but I took it to the desert with me where it gets notoriously windy. As in send tents flying in the air windy. It held up amazingly when everyone else tent was falling apart. Came back to camp and one point and was told that my tent was near still when it got extremally windy. Careful when setting up the bar, its possible to do it alone but I almost had it spring back and hit me in the teeth. If you make sure windows are zipped up, it does a decent job of keeping dust out. You can make a cot work but I would not recommend tall ones. As for the company- AMAZING SERVICE. I cannot stress how helpful they were and how quickly they got back to me. They were able to give me a time frame for shipping, answered my questions and addressed my concerns. When budget allows it, I am looking into getting a larger version of this tent and will absolutely be doing it through Competitive Edge.

***** (Five Stars for Competitive Edge Products, Ind.) - Fast shipping and appreciate the follow up from the company to make sure everything was good. Set the tent up prior to one of our spring severe thunderstorms and let it hang out in the storm. No leaks and performed great. Easy to set up! Very roomy! High quality! Love the thick flooring material.

Mr.
The tent really only sets up in 5 minutes it0s a great tent. I also have the 10x 10 bow flex. I am an amateur astronomy and the two-person tent is great for 3-night observing trip. For longer trips, the 10x20 is great

Happy Camper
Delivery was speedy as expected. Set up in back yard for 1st time in 10F temps 25mph winds. For 1st time set up no issues thanks to Competitive Edge videos. Stakes punched through frozen ground easily. 12 degrees warmer in tent with no heat source. With 9K BTU Mr Buddy Heater running on high for 10 minutes I am showing 36F on floor but 74F at top of tent, 65F at sitting head level on opposite side of tent. We purchased this primarily for car/self camping in winter with the idea of running heater when awake and it has exceeded my expectations in this back yard test. Can't wait to field test it.

Q: What is the packed size of just the tent ? The Kodiak website says 30 x 10 in......however in this Q&A you mentioned 24 x 24....could you clarify. Wanting to use this for motorcycle camping and want to be able to get on back of my bike.

Q: I have seen the lag bolt trick, which may help in frozen ground but I can foresee pitching in snow and also maybe inside a lean-to. To get the tension required would a small frame around the perimeter work? So instead of the ends being T's they are sideways H's. So a simple 11 rectangle around the perimeter of the base so it can tension?

A: I assume you're asking that question, because you are concerned about the walls sloping inwards.

Q: On your 6086 model tent have you guys thought of adding a owning
Asked by:  - 4/27/2022
A: There's no plans on adding an awning since the height is only 4' tall on the tent. To enjoy the shade one would have to be hunkered down on the ground and there doesn't seem to be a big demand for that which would add an extra cost. Answer provided by:

Asked by:  - 10/16/2021

The larger tents are a different story as there is more service area, but the 2 person tent is so low profile it could probably handle 60 or so.

A: We have used it in several snow storms and one blizzard in the Rocky Mountains. This tent held up like a champ! sturdy through the wind gusts of 30mph and the 2 foot of snow delivered overnight. The tent stood sturdy and repelled the water away. Temperatures dropped below freezing for the next three nights. between the buddy heater and the Kodiak tent, we were able to stay comfortable and sleep well. Answer provided by:

Q: I am a loyal Kodiak Canvas customer. This would be my third tent and I am constantly promoting your products and website on Facebook pages and via word of mouth. I am not in a huge rush to get this tent but I want it badly. I currently own the 10x10, and the 10x14. I am looking to add this smaller tent for quick trips. Do you still take offers? I would like to make an offer for $200 for this item.
Asked by:  - 4/29/2020
A: I'll go out on a limb and venture a guess/answer. Things I considered before answering. 1) It's already priced lower here than anywhere else. 2) It's a really nice tent that is worth the price. 3) it is "sold out" often. This tells me they aren't having any difficulties selling these at their asking price... My advice (free of charge) drop the bucks and buy one when one comes available. It'll cost you no more than a couple nights stay at a Holiday Inn Express. Answer provided by:  
Q: Would it realistically be feasible to use a Teton XXL cot in this tent? (85" long/19" high) or would the 9x8 be the smallest recommended for a cot of that size for one camper?
Asked by:  - 4/8/2020
A: I would think you could squeeze in a full size cot, but the sloping walls and low ceiling would make it an awfully tight fit. I use an ALPS Mountaineering Ready Light cot in mine. The Byer TriLite Cot 7000 Series cot would be another good option to check out. Answer provided by:  
A: I know those cots are often used in our larger tents However I think it would take up too much space in this tent. Many customers will use it with our 1 person swag tent. They just put the tent on top of the cot. Answer provided by:  
A: No, it will not fit. I ended up using a Coleman deluxe folding cot, 80"x30"x15" tall. It's not a compact cot but it works well and still has 12 inches of space to store gear underneath. It works great in the tent for one adult and still leaves plenty of room to put a short camp chair inside. The walls on the tent angle in from floor to ceiling pretty quick, so If the Coleman cot was any taller it wouldn't fit either. Answer provided by:  
Q: If I buy a tent, will it be delivered to Korea? How much is the tariff if it is delivered?

Q: What are the packed dimensions ? Looking for a canoe camping tent . Thanks Mike
Asked by:  - 11/9/2019
A: The exact dimensions can differ a little bit since to get smaller if you roll it up tighter and vice versa. I own this tent. When I pack it up into the bag (the nice thing is the poles and the tent going the same back this model) it measures about 2 1/2 feet wide by 2 feet high Answer provided by:  
Q: I0m planning on backpacking for a couple of days and want to find a good quality tent that I can carry. Can this tent easily roll up and be carried on my backpack or Is it not suited for this? Thanks!
Asked by:  - 10/18/2019
A: Some people do take this backpacking - they'll split some of the weight between to hikers. But, it is a bit on the heavy side for backpacking. Mostly people with ATV's, horses, etc - they'll take this tent. Answer provided by:  
Q: Is the claimed 48 inch height the true interior roof height, floor to ceiling?

Q: Please confirm this is the Kodiak Canvas Flex-Bow VX 2-Person Tent seen in the video? Do you have any other accessories that would go with this tent. I am also interested in Kodiak&#-15698; Canvas Deluxe Flex-Bow 4-Person Tent 9'x8'. Honestly, I am 58 in good health, but the weight of the 9x8 does concern me. Your support can call me if you would like. I am a serous buyer 214.681.0181
Asked by:  - 9/15/2019
A: I'm 60, 170 haven't-worked-out-since-high-school pounds and deal with scoliosis. I can handle the 10 x 10 Kodiak with no problems. My guess is that you can handle the 9 x 8. Answer provided by:  
A: This is the vx 2 person, yes. There are no other accessories, besides the ground tarp. The 4 person is just as easy to set up in my opinion since it has telescoping poles and I think you'd be just fine as there is no point where you lift the entire or even half the weight of the tent in erecting it.

Q: I'm an older woman with diminished strength. In the video it looks like connecting the T-posts might take a lot of strength. What do you think?

Q: I just took delivery of this tent. I am impressed with the tent and quality. Looking forward to lots of good camping. Set it up in the yard and gave it a good soaking. The tent was good and tight fitting. But, the soaking left a pool of water in the top about the size of a dinner plate and an inch or so deep. Question. Have any of you experienced owners of this tent had this pooling? If so have you come up with a easy fix? Maybe some sort of a tie of the roof fabric to the cross bar. Appreciate feedback.
Asked by:  - 12/4/2017
A: Now here is a question I'd like to see an answer for Answer provided by:  
A: I have had this tent for several years and have used it in all sorts of weather conditions including wind, heavy rains and moderate snow. I always pitch my tent with the vertical support posts pressed high and tight, providing a super taut roof. The floor corners should be staked out carefully and evenly; tight as well. I can't imagine this tent holding water if it's pitched properly. Answer provided by:  
Q: I have this tent on order. Should I seam seal the bottom seams from tent to floor IE does the tent leak at this seam line when water pools up?
Asked by:  - 11/29/2017
A: This particular tent is waterproof out-of-the-box. You should not need to treat it on the seams or anywhere else. If you run into any problems please let us know Answer provided by:  
A: You won't need to seam seal the tent but it should be noted that canvas tents like this do require to be "seasoned" per the instructions. Basically, you just set up the tent and give it a good soaking with a garden hose. This allows the canvas to tighten up and after this you should not have water intrusion issues.

Q: What are the dimensions when packed up?

Q: I'm 5'8" , can I stand up in this tent?
Asked by:  - 8/14/2017
A: I'm 5'10" and I can stand up in the tent just fine. Feel free to contact us with any other questions. Answer provided by:  
A: If you're talking about the 2-person tent, then no. In the 9x8, your head would almost touch the ceiling. In the 10x10 and 10x14, you'd have plenty of headroom. Answer provided by:  
Q: Do you make ground tarp for 8.6 x 6 tent?
Asked by:  - 7/21/2017
A: Unfortunately we don't currently have a tarp for this tent, the closest size would be the 9x8 tent 0598. I have sent an email to say there is interest in a tarp for this tent. Answer provided by:  
Q: Are you able to completely close all of the windows/doors so that dust cannot enter during dust storm?
Asked by:  - 7/10/2017
A: Yes, absolutely. Answer provided by:  
A: Is this a canvas fabric or a HEPA fabric? If it's not HEPA rated then some dust would most assuredly make it into the interior. That being said, the buttoned up tent would still afford some substantial protection...sufficient protection for your case might be another determination. Answer provided by:  
Q: What is the standing height inside of tent? does this tent have a shade awning in front like the rest I've seen? Are there any other models with out shade awning? Thanks and God bless.
Asked by:  - 6/28/2017
A: It is 4' high. 6' wide x 8.5' long. This is the Smallest Flex bow Kodiak tent that we have. The other Flex Bows will have much higher ceilings. The Awnings on all of the tents can be rolled up and stowed against the tent. Answer provided by:

Asked by:  - 6/17/2017
A: The Kodiak tents are the best tents that I know of for Extreme weather. The canvas is very good at trapping heat during the winter time. In the summer you can lower the temperature by rolling the windows down. Answer provided by:

Asked by:  - 4/16/2017
A: It doesn't really matter where you season it. It's not about idea to set it up before your camping trip to ensure that all the parts in the tent is in order. Answer provided by:  
Q: I found the owners manual and think I answered my own question, you could do this at the campground? thanks.

A: I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. I'm assuming you're asking if you can season it at the campground? I don't see why not. Answer provided by:  
Q: Is the smallest Kodiak freestanding? one review says it is not though it appears so the pictures. This review is the only mention of this and this detail is crucial for my trip plans. The video is too general, just a promo for the whole line, so cannot tell.
Asked by:  - 4/14/2017
A: Yes, this is the smallest Kodiak freestanding tent. Feel free to contact us with any other questions. Answer provided by:  
A: Have to disagree with these being freestanding. All the Kodiak's have to be staked down. Even the swag needs pegs at the ends Answer provided by:  
Q: another review says "set it up on the lawn and hosed it down as we where supposed to do." Is this really necessary? city dweller here with no yard or hose. thanks.
Asked by:  - 4/14/2017
A: I know it goes against the common practice, but I have the 8.5 x 6 and a 10 x 10 Flexbow and neither one has been hosed down. I always put a tarp over my tents so downpours have never been a problem. The few times I've been out with wind blown rain, the sides still didn't leak.

But I will say that not having a yard may present a problem if the tent gets wet while on a trip and it doesn't have a chance to dry. You definitely need a place to dry a canvas tent before storing it. Answer provided by:  
A: Yes, it's important to do that to "season" the tent. Answer provided by:  
A: I set up my tent in the yard the first time, got in it and looked around at all the seams and tiny spaces around the threads and I thought the tent would let water in when I gave it the first soaking. I used a high pressure nozzle and blasted it from all angles for 10-15 minutes. I was shocked when I unzipped it and no water was anywhere inside the tent, none at all. Those results made me feel very confident about the waterproof capacity of the tent and it has never leaked. I'm a real believer in the quality of the fabric and construction of my tent Answer provided by:
