this has all the Mr Rogers Vibes..very calming demeanor :)

I love my 8×9 Kodiak Flex Bow. I just finished living in it for 6 weeks . I was working as a volunteer in a desert park. High winds , cold temps , and hot temps were handled comfortably.

I just ordered this tent a few hours ago from CEP, and got a great deal. I paid $100 less than on Amazon, and got a $50 discount on top of that, plus a ground cloth that's worth a few bucks to sweeten the deal. I can't wait for it to get here and I appreciate this video showing tips and tricks for setting it up. I was looking for a Turbo but glad I didn't find one because I think I got a much better tent for not much more money. I did my homework before choosing this tent and spent a lot of time searching for the lowest price. CEP had the best deal, and to be perfectly honest I'm not even sure how that extra $50 discount got in there, but I'm glad it did. How refreshing to buy from a local seller who is into his product and bothers to use it himself. I guess I just hit them at the right time of year, but what a great tent and what a killer deal. I'll definitely upgrade with the vestibule and maybe that top thing to make the rain shed easier, Thanks for the upload, CEP.

Charley is awesome and I am pleased to have done business with CEP; I have the 10x14 VX. Here's a tip and maybe some of you eagle eye folk may have noticed, don't walk on your tent with your shoes on. What will happen is that you will see footprints and debris all over your roof and it's bright when the sunlight peaks through. Also clean your floors thoroughly before take down to not dirty the roof from the inside.

Thank you!!! ... This 62 y/o Gramma will be camping in it without any helpers ... just making sure I set it up right!!

I love the VX 10x10, at 6'4" I have real head room in this tent. My cot and gear easily fit inside with room for a chair and a small heater. I usually tent camp alone but there is plenty of room for another sleep set up or two. The set up was straight forward but getting the uprights on the pin took a little horsepower. I think next time I will just stake out the four corners, leaving a little slack, install the uprights then give the stakes a final tightening and add stakes as needed to secure the tent. We had several days of rain, heat, and high winds (gusts of 39mph) with no issues. Even the canopy performed well in the rain and wind.

Love our 10x10 Kodiak VX tent. It's is easy to set up and take down - even for us senior citizens.

Best setup video for this tent I’ve seen. Thanks for posting

This video has been a life saver. 💓 It was so easy to understand and follow. I will be setting up my new 10x10 tomorrow morning in my yard. And camping next weekend with my Airedale Dukie. 😃 I am 69 yrs but still pretty strong as I groom dogs for a living. Thanks again for this video. 😊

Thanks so much for this video. Just bought our tent and we love it!

I bought the 10×10 ultimate last year my wife wasn't to happy with the cost until we camped in the first night her words. ... you made a good decision I am happy we have it ! Nice instructive video thanks

It was fun to watch! I love mine.

I have it, and it’s the best what I see and used before!

Thank you for the video. I have watched a few videos on the same tent but you showed how easy it is to pitch.

Great Video! Thanks for the lesson. I will be watching this a few times and saving the link for it so I can refer back!

Thank you for your instruction video. I just bought a 10 x 10 Kodiak flex tent and I'm planning on setting it up for the first time in my yard this afternoon. Your video has been very helpful, very concise, and well done. Thank you

Love your videos. As soon as I saw the link I was excited. I am still trying to convince the wife about getting the 10x14. I will get it one soon I hope. We have an RV and enjoy it immensely but there is nothing like tent camping when you are set up right....a Kodiak tent is the very definition of set up right. I took my grand kids out camping in early spring with a 4 man tent, which is a quite nice one, but you can't stand up in it and can barely sit up in it on your knees. However, the trips were indeed enjoyable. The kids had a ball learning how to build proper fire lays, starting fires with ferro rods, gathering tender and kindling and just playing in the woods and dirt. They even learned some camp cooking skills. They loved being able to drink cowboy coffee....but we won't tell there mom.

What great tents. Thanks for the lesson.

Just bought this tonight in anticipation of a trip to flaming gorge this summer. I sincerely hope I like it.

I’ve had my vx for 2years years and have zero complaints except about the the bird droppings

Nice demonstration. I came upon the channel as I'm going to be buying one soon. I will buy from you.

I love ❤️ these tents

11:01 LPT if you don't want to use the awning, roll the awning poles in it, in the opposite direction he showed in the video. It will roll up nice and rigid and the water won't pool in the canvas.

Great tent I think it's the best on the market

Best demo on utube.

what a beautiful neighborhood

Great tent!😁

Am using a kodiak two man tent now. Already plan to purchase this one next year.

Very well done, thank you.

I have a few canvas tents and I live in a very small house with no garage so pack up when its wet is areal problem! you have to wait for a dry day and set it back up to air out, Some people in the market for a canvas tent may not realize this.

I remember talking with you on the phone. I love my tent.

Cannot wait to start camping in mine...next week....will let you know how it goes...solo camping with the pups...and no youngster either!

Very helpful. Thank youuu. 👍

great job

Roll the awnings under hand, it will shed the water ?

thanks for the information, but I can't find any video in YT on how practical and actual setup inside the tent for family of 4. Perhaps 10x10 can fit Sleeping bag with cots or pads x4, heaters and some other miscellaneous. Otherwise I may save up a bit more for 10x14. Thanks

Great videos You have the best channel for kodiak Is there any date set when you will have the lodge tent 12x12 in stock

Great video. Would like to see take down and how you stuff the tent back into carry bag?

I recently sold my 10 x 14 to a family who was really looking for a tent. And I’m going within the next couple days to buy a 10 x 10 I just really think they’re an awesome product and I enjoyed your video very much.

I wish Kodiak made the flex bow tent stove ready. Spring bar tents and flex bows are look almost identical but theirs are stove ready but they also cost like twice the price of Kodiak. Do you think the Kodiak flex bows will work ok with a self installed stove jack? Something like the winnerwell stove jack and place it at the same location that spring bar tents use?

Great video, thank you for being so thorough! I just ordered a 10x10 Kodiak and am very much looking forward to using it. You've saved me some potential confusion by clearly demonstrating how to easily set up this tent. I do have one question though, if it's really windy, should some guy-lines be used, to provide additional stability to the tent, and if so, where should they be placed? Again, THANK YOU!

Generally after being used in rain does it take to dry out? Great video!

very helpful

I got a set of adjustable tent poles from Amazon to deal with the awning and rain pooling

Very cool. I'm very excited. I just got mine in and planned to bring it to Talladega speedway in a couple weeks. Question, here in the south, we never run short of rain, and storms. I've been in three-day rain episodes with other tents, and have left everything at the campsite, bag, pillow, tent.... everything because nothing is worse than a wet sleeping bag. Do I need to treat my new Kodiak tent with anything?

Very helpful

Could you please make video setting up awning with vestibule after placing new grommet holes for overlap purposes. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Nice!

Is the Kodiak Canvas company still operational and are the tents still available?

could flip awning to other side with rope and stake it

😊 thanks 👍 buddy

I wonder if you could spray these canvas tents with Never Wet or something to cut down on the need for drying in wet conditions

A+

Three comments regarding the fly/awning? (These worked on other tests with a front fly that I have been in. Enjoy!) 1. Roll the awning *under* so the water cannot pool in the material as is will if you roll it the way you showed it. 2. Angle the awning down to the front or or slope it off to the side by leaning the stakes out more, supporting them with the guy ropes. 3. Create an A-frame concept by adding a center grommet to hold a third stake. Make that middle point be about 1" to 2" below the tent entryway roof/opening height either by having a shorter stake or angling it. Make the two end stakes about 4" lower than the center, again either with shortened stakes or by angling them.

What is the difference between this and Kodiak 6098? I am trying to decide which one to buy between these two from competitive Edge website

Dear Sir does the Basic have a roof light hook?

Do any of them come with a stove pipe jack

have you ever been told that you look like Antonio Banderas. By the way I have been researching this tent for a while . For those who like to stand up in a cabin look-alike tent that isn't too large, it's the best in the market.

What's on sale?

Do you suggest a tarp underneath the tent?

I just set mine up alone very easy thank you

Do you have a video installing the top fly on a 10x10?

Does this tent have zipper vents in any corners?

Do the windows on the sides of this tent take away any of the strength of the tent

Or roll the awnings underneath opposite from way u rolled it

You could also roll it to the underside of the awning. Then no water would pool.

Brand from usa or china. Thank you

Беру. Какой район?

Cook those extra stakes for dinner.

if you roll the awning under hand water will not pool up.

Wish this design had the fire Jack
