coues Report post Posted October 19, 2006 I've never touted a piece of equipment, but this tent is so well made and so well thought out I thought it was worth mentioning. It's made by Kodiak Canvas and I found it at Sportsmans Warehouse after looking at everything Cabelas had to offer. It's a 10X10 cabin style tent made of the best materials available. Every detail was considered and it's ridiculously easy to set up. My wife and I set it up in a driving rain for the first time in less than 10 minutes. It only has 2 legs and a cross beam, but boy is it strong and tight. I've had virtually every size and kind of tent including full blown wall tents and nothing compares to this one as far as quality and practicality. I find it's perfect for one or two cots with ample room for the rest of the gear. I'm not affiliated with the company at all, but I just can't say enough about this tent. Check it out for yourself at www.Kodiakcanvas.com BTW, if you're interested I have a picture of it with my wife's 362 bull beside it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Thanks for the info on the tent. Have you had that tent out in a windstorm yet? Looks like it might not take wind well. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coues Report post Posted October 19, 2006 I tried posting the pic, but it's too big. I sent it to the tent company and they put it on their site under "testimonial". It's her first hunt ever, she's very proud. She did a good job, too. Toughed it out in the rain and we made her carry out the horns. (She was glad to do it) Amanda, I've only had it out once, so I can't honestly say I've had it in a severe wind, but it did get quite windy. I'd guess 25-30 mph gusts. We also got a fair amount of rain, and it definitely didn't leak. When you see the material they make this thing with, it won't surprise you. The pole system is very ingenious. The roof has a set of "T's" on each end that's tied to a center piece that locks with a sleeve. It's spring loaded so it's always tight. The verticle poles lock into the bottom of the tent so that stays tight too. Hard to explain in words, but when you see it you'll know what I mean. It is heavy; surprisingly heavy for a tent it's size. The poles are much heavier than I've ever seen. The floor is exceptionally heavy vinyl. I don't mind the weight, it's not a backpack tent and that's the price for a solid, dry tent. It has a full size door and a full size window on opposite sides. You can vent the he!! out of this thing. It has a modest awning that covers one door and window if you don't use it....again, quite ingenious! Even the stakes are heavy. It doesn't look much different than 1000 other tents until you examine it close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueshunter Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I am real surprised/pleased at the cost. I just called Sportsmans warehouse and they are 400.00. This is really a great deal and it sure is alot better than planning on spending 1200.00 for a Montana or Davis tent. I have the Cabelas tent already but would have bought this one in a heartbeat. Sounds like a great tent..........Allen..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I looked at this tent at sportsman when they had them set up on the tent floor up stairs. It is a very well made tent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
