If I had to do it over I would buy the model with windows on the ends. I got the deluxe with the top vents which is good but in the heat the airflow of the extra windows would be nice.

I just bought my Flexbox 10x14 off amazon directly from Kodiak Canvas. The price was $580 if I remember right with free shipping. I have only used the tent once so far, but let me echo the above. This tent kicks some major butt in comparison to any of the normal cheaper Coleman style tents I have ever owned and used. They are not even in the same league.

If no one comes.through on the 270 dies let me know. Thanks Harley

A buddy of mine is having issues with the Duratracs right now going out of round. He has had several replaced under warranty. E rated BFG AT's have done well for me in the past for long highway life but I know several guys who have mediocre results with tire life if you tow heavy often especially with a slide in camper or such. I will probably put another set of Toyos AT'S on my Dodge when this set is done. Harley

I have a set of Toyo Open Country AT'S I have liked so far on my Dodge 2500.

Can you send me some contact info. My dad just bought an AR and is looking for a different optic and also flip up iron sights.

Probably good. The wife would have killed me if I brought it home, but I have a thing for 16 gauges.

How long is the barrel on the ithica? I work in Tolleson so I am not far away.

Cliff is a good guy. He is one of my customers. Harley

I made the mistake of going to the strip club in Minot, ND when I was working up there. The key word in that sentence was MISTAKE. The things I saw can never be unseen....

The other option is try and find a cheap cab over camper. All that it has to do is be a hard sided place to sleep. My buddy got a screaming deal on a 6.5' model for $300. It isn't pretty but the jacks work and with a buddy heater you will be warm. I honestly think the Kodiak Canvas is a better option unless it is a blizzard outside though. More comfortable and more room.

The Kodiak tent is pretty awesome. I just bought one and used it for a 3 day family trip and it was great. I am glad the guys on here guided me in the right driection. It should be the last tent you buy. With a mr.buddy heater and a decent bag you should be able to stay warm for sure even if it is cold as heck outside.

Ps. I work in a/c wholesale so if you need a stat or if you want the name of a good tech to put 1 in for you let me know. I have a great west valley tech that does good work at fair prices.

Get a programmable thermostat. They can save you money especially on the time of use power plans. I have an ecobee smartsi thermostat on my house and it is pretty sweet. I can change it from my phone or computer and it tracks all the data for settings and run time to help you save power. When you leave for vacation Don't set it higher then 85 unless your unit is newer because when you get home and turn it down to 75 your going to work it pretty hard.

I bought one of these for my wife not long after they came out. They are a fun toy and we have gotten pretty good at killing pesky flies with it. Buy bulk ammo at sprouts from the bulk bins and this thing is like what shooting 22lr used to be. You can shoot all day for next to nothing. Harley

They are building a new kenworth dealership on the west side. Most otr diesel shops are on the west side and are usually hiring.

I am in the market for a new family tent. My budget is about $150-250 and I have a family of 4 currently so I am probably looking at a 5-6 person style tent. I would prefer a tent that is fairly quick to setup and I want something that will last. What is the best bang for the buck in my price range? I like the tents that have the front entrance alcove but that isn't a must. Thoughts? Thanks Harley

I have never liked Basspro or Cabela's. They are both overpriced, but I like Basspro the least. I always go to my small local gun shop first then to Sportsman's depending on what I need.

I didn't use all the stakes either because the weather was good and the ground was hard. I did use about 10 stakes though. The 3 year old had a blast. We went to the lake on Saturday and caught crawdads and the had a picnic. He was like a wild man all weekend and started crying this morning when we left that he wanted to go back camping. got 1 hooked. Now I just have to hook the 3 month old after awhile. Harley

Just a first trip follow up. My family and went up to lynx lake for a 3 day. I bought the Kodiak Canvas 10x14 deluxe tent. My first time setting up the tent was in the field by myself and it wasn't hard at all. The hardest part is getting all the stakes in the hard ground. The tent is heavy but it is built very well and is a great tent. The setup and take down process honestly is probably easier then my old Coleman tents. There aren't alot of poles, but they are stout. Takedown was simple and the storage wrap is way easier the. Trying to put my Coleman back in its bags. This is a real deal tent and I highly recommend it. The only regret is not getting the version with the big end windows. They breeze doesn't get through the tent well on warm days like we have now. Other then that this tent is a 10 out of 10. Thanks for the words of advice. This was the right choice. Harley.

I ordered a kodiak canvas last night. I said to heck with it, it's only money and I only want to buy a tent this one last time in my life. I plan to try it out a few times this summe and during scouting for my elk hunt. I might even use it on my elk hunt depending on the weather. Thanks for the advice. I think I made the right choice for sure. Harley

I took the wife to cabelas tonight. She gave the go ahead to buy a big are tent for much more then the original budget. She was in a 10x20 and liked it alot. We are thiking about a Eureka 15x12 and I really like the idea of the Kodiak flexbow but am not sure it is big enough. Does any place locally have one setup or sell them?

The one on here is sold. The Costco Coleman tent is getting very mixed reviews.

This is the rifle that I want to put a new Vortex Viper on but part of me really doesn't want to mess with this rifle if it will shoot like this right now. I kind of want to just dial in one of these loads with H1000 and leave the rifle as it, but at the same time I would love an nicer piece of glass on this rifle and also be able to transfer this scope to another one of the rifles I have that has crappy glass. My dad wasn't a believer in good glass so I have a lot of good rifles I need to switch from crappy Simmons and Bushnell to something even half way decent like the Redfield Revolution on this rifle. I took a couple of his rifles out to the range this weekend to determine my backup rifle for elk, and holy crap do the scopes suck. The Simmons on one is a giant flaming turd, and the bushnell on the other is marginal at best for 300 and under on a rifle that should be able to handle 500 easy (7mm Rem Mag Ruger Mk1). Harley

Does anyone have any good load data for a 257 weatherby with 115gr. Berger VLD hunting bullets? I have most IMR4831 & RL22 for powder right now. Thanks Harley
