Man, awesome job 👏🏼 thank you for taking the time to set all of those up and do a well articulated, thorough review/walkthrough. This video is a gold standard of how a KZfaq walkthrough should be done.

This is what honest salesmanship looks like. He’s not even trying to sell us this product, he’s just explaining its benefits and how much he likes them. Thank you! I’m getting the 10x10 VX.

This is by miles the best Kodak tent review on the internet. Pro quality.

I just called competitive edge I just spoke to Charlie. He's very knowledgeable/helpful. I'm gonna buy the 10x14 super deluxe vx tent. And with me disabled I have a umbrella of MS hard to walk to a point. But Charlie helped and answered all my questions thank you Charlie

Great review ! Just purchased the Kodiak with a bundle ! Perfect timing ! We are going to key west through the gray smoke mountains then to the Elk festival this fall ! THANK TOU FOR THE INCREDIBLE REVIEW !

Fantastic Presentation and review of these tents. You, Charlie, are a consummate pro and the epitome of tent sales in explaining every detail. I thank you and will surely but my new tent from you.

Nice review. Thanks. I can say these tents hold up well, I managed a very rural campground in Oregon and lived in mine 3 years. Rain, (lots) Snow, (lots) Gusty winds? No problem. The county asked me to manage a camp right on the coast for a few months. Went through a 50 mph wind with gusts to 70 mph. No problem. Near the 3rd year I did have one small leak from the roof. A good spray with silicone took care of it. I had the basic model 10x10, just me and my faithful lab. Plenty of room. This ten was very comfortable, hot or cold weather. Now as to setup - - these tents are pretty heavy (at least for me at 65 and only 5'6" yet I was still able to do it myself. 2 folks? Piece of pie (I don't care for cake all that much) I honestly can't praise the tents enough. I donated it to the county who still uses it for emergencies. 73 now, just me and dog. Thinking about the 2 person. Looks awesome. Once again that's for a great review. 1 thing "season" the tent as per instructions, don't over wet! Light sprinkle. I did it about 3 times before "moving in"

I have used my 10x10 in rain, wind, and heavy snow with new problems. Great tents

You do a very complete and sincere presentation. I’m sure you are as happy in your job as you are successful. You obviously are a really nice guy for your neighbors to let you do this video. Lol. Enjoyed it all and you made me want one even though I’m 76 and have never camped.

The best video on Kodiak tents. Thanks a lot

Thank-you, for your time. 🇨🇦😊

Thanks a lot buddy..great to have them all compared at once!

Great video. I really appreciate the detailed descriptions of all the features. I will probably buy from you just because of this video - you’re clearly a user of and expert on these tents.

Wow! This is the first time (ever) that I have watched a youtube video, gone to the site that authored it, and spent event 1$. Will be ordering my Kodiak FlexBow (from your site!) today! Called in yesterday and was impressed by the quality of the phone assistance, he clearly knows his product lines and has personal experience with the product line. My wife would love the Cabin tent, but she felt that the setup time isn't really an option when we're juggling a 6mo old (why we are car camping instead of backpacking for the next year or so!).

Thank you for the video I've been looking and thought I had picked on until I stumbled onto these Kodiaks. I'm changed my mind!

3 years and I keep loving my kodiak :)

Great video, Charlie. Just learned about these tents and you hit every point I was interested in!

Amazing!

Thank you for such a comprehensive comparison showing! 👊🏻

This is by far the best video out there on Kodiak tents! I have had my 10 X 14 for a few years now and absolutely loved it. Although I just sold it, I am the exception to what you said... I want to down-size LOL. Kids leaving home :) Looking at the 9X8 or 10X10. You showing the height on the 9X8 may have just sold me! Thanks again and I'll be buying from you soon.

Just purchased because of this video! Thank you!

Bought my Kodiak 8X12 cabin tent from Competitive Edge. Nothing but positives to say they stand behind you for quality and customer support. As i recieved my tent, i noticed fatigue of shipment box, opened to find some small damage which likely resulted from shipping. I sent an email and pic of the damage, and they were quick to respond and sent me a new part to replace damaged piece. I definitely rate this kind of business service a 5 star+! My son now looking to buy one since out of tbe marine corps. He is in awe of the Kodiak tents. Thank you again, Compeyitive Edge!

Thank u for you review. Excited to get these tents and go camping!!!

excellent breakdown of all the different models!

Excellent video

Outstanding video. Very thorough and I feel like you were giving me a personal walk through. When I do decide to buy a tent it will almost certainly be a Kodiak.

We are impressed. Two seniors who went camping this year, who froze one night, were soaked out a couple of others and had a problem getting up and out during every night, now know what type of tent they need! Thank you!

This fine 2018 review video is just what I needed; best one of the web...I just bought the 10x10 from you guys. Thanks.

Well done enough to make me purchase. If you guys will put this much effort into explaining the product you must have excellent customer service. I will update you after I receive my tent.

Great video! It was really nice to be able to compare the sizes & features.

Hi Charlie - have to say this video was perfect to really see the differences of the tents - you did an outstanding job! You deserve a raise - or at least a nice bonus!

I own both the four and six person versions (was fortunate to get them both at a deep discount). These are fantastic if you are driving up to your camp spot; I've used mine in conjunction with 4x4 camping. They're a great option if you have the space to carry a larger tent and are looking for something to camp comfortably with. As an aside, I use an ultra-lightweight one person backpacking tent for ultra distance motorcycle camping, so these are a real treat in comparison to my usual "sleeping bag with a roof". Definitely recommend Kodiak.

Great demo best I’ve seen about the Kodiak. Place my order today for the FB 14’. Thanks for the honest and comprehensive review. 🤛🤛💪👏

Awesome video, thank you so much! I’m leaning toward the 10’ x 14’ tent!

September 6, 2014 My brother and I were camping in North east Oregon and we had an unexpected storm hit... I was rudely awoken at 3:50 am, to what I thought was a herd of elk ripping thru camp, but a short time after that, more clamor! I stuck my head out to find “thigh deep” snow...and the clamor was tents collapsing!! We had 5 in camp total! After I got my bearings, I shook my 10x10 Bowflex off, shoveled snow away from the base and went about salvaging the other tents the best I could. Later in n the day my brother returned from satellite camp and we went about repairing tents...aside from our base tents, our two satellite tents collapsed as well, (his on him!!). Only my Bowflex survived by unscathed!! I’m a big fan of Kodiak Tents!! Tried and true!!😊👍

Great video. Thank you for being so thorough. 👍👍

We have this same tent and I love it. These tents are worth every penny. I wish I was as tall as you. I have to lean the middle post over to hook up the loop. You make the most out of every inch of this tent. Excellent setup.

We have the 10x14 and I love it , best tent we ever owned

Very honest and complete. Thanks

Very informative...thank you. Need to let my husband view it before deciding which one to buy.

Just bought my 10x14 yesterday from competitive edge. Excellent video

I haven't even received my 10 x 14 yet and now I want the two smallest ones too!

You need two guy ropes with springs and long metal pegs on your awning...drop one corner down slightly for rain....and do a cyclone knot on your ropes its a twist around the pole to stop it lifting up the pole...nice tents

Thanks for your videos, they were very, very helpful 👍 No , nonsense..And , telling it like it is. 👍 I will be buying the big outfitters tent ⛺️ and the awning. I believe Kodiak is a very honest company. Cause , they don't just talk about a product ? You've showed us they put them through the test. Thanks for sharing your videos. I'm very impressed with your honesty.

I’m so glad I ran into this video. It’s so hard to find a good tent online and choose. I’ll definitely be ordering mine from competitive edge products.

great rundown on the lineup. Really been enjoying the truck tent I ordered from you guys last month. And my wife also enjoys the cabin tent ;)

Excellent and informative video. We have been considering a Kodiak and your video gave us discussion points as to which tent model would best fit (for just the two of us) tent. Thank you!

I'm sold. These remind me of our old canvas family tent that our family used for camping in the 50's and 60's. I think I will start with a two man as I like to go camping by myself sometimes. The kids can use the Kelty. Can't wait. Great fully formational video.

Well done... very helpful!

Excellent presentation.

ABOUT F'KING TIME SOMEONE DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!! Actual side by SIDE COMPARISON!

I've never camped before, have been shopping around for a tent and decided on getting a cheap two person for less than $80, as it would make sense, BUT off the strength of this video alone the 2 person 6086 has me sold! You're not touching the roof at 5'10" while sitting and you can see the quality of the material. Thank you for this!

Always had my mind set on one day getting a Psycone tent but that first tent looks really nice

Glad I watched this. I had pretty much decided on the 9' x 8', but after seeing the two person tent I think I might be able to get by with it. I'm a solo backpacker and car camper, but when I car camp I'd prefer to sleep off the ground in a cot. Looks like a cot will fit into the smaller tent just fine and still give me head room when lying down and also tall enough that I can put a lower profile camp chair inside to get away from bugs. The smaller tent will be easier for me to haul from the car and take up less real estate when I store it away. Thanks for comparing all the different versions.

Finally I someone with answers THANKYOU Michigan

Very educational video, the most comprehensive I can find from KZfaq. Just pre-ordered one from competitive edge website. Looking forward to that tent! I purchased the cabin tent so I can try snow camping. Please post video on how to install stove (stove jack installation) and canvas care as well.

Great video. I have the 10 x 10 basic. Love it. Thanks.

My 12 x 12 stove tent and awning withstood 45 mile winds with 65 gusts Yes I am sure my 10 x 14 flex bow would have done as well Thank you for a great product

Finally found some "real" tents! Great job going through the tent selections.

AWSOME video!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

This is a super good review, now there os a new one the grand cabin kodiak i will like you to give us a good explanation about it you are so good on it

Appreciate your videos, one thing I would really like to see is how to properly take down and roll up the 9x12 cabin tent with the awning. Seems there are a lot set up ones but no tear down and pack up. Thanks

Outstanding!!!

I own 10x10, love it. I want cabin..... those windows!

Excellent review.

I have the 8 foot Kodak Canvas truck bed tent, which I love. Super stable in high winds, bone dry, easy for me to put up alone, and looks a bit like a covered wagon. Highly recommend.

Great presentation and an incredible Speaker great job Competitive Edge.

Great job on the reviews

I like that swag tent in the pickup bed idea

If I get one or more of ur tents, & it's looking good for that, it will be cuz of ur videos. Good job 👍🏻

I like the 6 person cabin with awning.

My 4 person Kodiak tent during a near 24 hour non-stop storm with damaging winds: Rainstorm? What rainstorms? I LOVE MY TENT! Never wavered, NEVER FLOODED!

Thank you for the informing video! I just wonder how anyone could give this video a thumbs down? Who knows....

Great quality products I want them all.

Awesome. I think you hit all of the salient points. I just came back from a 4 day trip using a 4 man Alps. I was dreaming thinking that at 72 I would be fine on my knees most of the time, unable to stand to dress. Well.... a few Ibuprofens later and a couple of days to lick my wounds.....I find myself looking for a better alternative. I am sure I found it. Now...just have to pull together the cash. Love the Kodiak sleeping bags as well.

Appreciate the video!!

Ok buddy, you've done it now, the neighborhood association will be in touch

I bought the 10x14 flex VX from these guys and they were awesome. Shipping was fast and free. My wife and I love the tent. Get the big one, seriously you will regret it if you don’t.

I can see myself cooking under the awning with a metal tent stove only the pipe would run outside the aweing. I guess it would be 90/10 covered. Still able to capture the heat around the stove outside just find. Boil hot water to keep warm at night in water bottles.

Such a well done video thank you!

I love my Kodiac truck tent! Just as well made with great ventilation! But you get what you pay for, it is the most expensive truck tent, but very worth it.

have the 10x10, and have been using it at Burningman for 2 years. Man, it is heavy but surprisingly easy to setup and holds strong in the dust wind! the 2-person tent looks really nice.

I just got my 6133 with the 0650 wall enclosure and set it up by myself for the first time. I'm VERY pleased with my purchase / investment. It is obviously well made and very roomy. I think it will last a long time and I may even pass it down to one of my kids. :)

Hi Charlie. You know that without your Kodiak videos I’d be watching hundreds of KZfaq videos in complete frustration. Nobody names their Kodiak tent correctly, if at all. Thank you for helping me decide which model would be correct for me. I have no local stores to view in person so... Thanks! 🙏🏻😁

I have the 10x14 deluxe w/windows on all sides and double doors. It is so big inside its more like a room instead of a tent. I'm 6ft and love the fact that I only stoop a little going thru the door. Never inside! The spring pole is a great system BUT the tent MUST be secured in order for the tent to work. The inside hanger pouches are ok, nothing great. The bigger of pouches works well on the outside of the tent using the loops provided. The mesh over the windows is excellent. Its very fine mesh,so fine in fact that if you are camping when its hot a light breeze wont come thru the screen mesh. Bring a portable fan. Never a drop of water has made its way into my tent. I have lived in this tent going on 1 1/2 years. I move to the mountains,lake,and lots of desert living. Notice I said living. Thats a big difference from a 3-5 day campout. I live in this tent full time.When you put your tent away be sure the floor is clean. The inside of the roof is white and when you collapse the tent for storage or to move to another site, all the floor dirt and dust is now on the bottom of the roof. When you set up make sure the doors are zipped closed. Its okay to have the zippers down and windows half open (from when you put it away) to make it easier to put up. The suction is pretty strong when putting up the spring poles. You"ll get used to it. The stakes for securing the tent are a joke. If you can get them in easy, good luck if the weather goes bad. I use a battery powered 1/4" drive impact wrench and drive 10" lag bolts with large cut washers to secure the tent. My tent has been in snow,hail storms, thunderstorms with 60 mph gusts and 40mph constant winds ,monsoons(flash flood) and scorching heat(114°) and sub freezing weather. (18°). Only had 1 problem with the zipper on the awning side door and that may have been my fault. Not sure about that and I fixed it anyways. The awning MUST be tipped down with any real amount of rain. It holds so much water that when you push up from the bottom to get rid of the 10 gallon puddle over head, you will get SOAKED from the splash. I have videos of how excellent this tent has performed in a thunderstorm with hail. The water ran under the tent so fast it floated my 100 lb dog! The day after I show the mud/sand line of how high the water got and not a drop of rainwater came inside. Unbelievable but true and video to back it up! See how I cured the anemic stakes and how well the tent performed.People are amazed that Im still in the same tent for more than a year after all the weather and sun its been thru. Its really that good and worth every penny. In very cold weather I use a Mr Heater Big Buddy. With a 5 gallon propane tank (outside the tent) it keeps the tent comfortable on low and will run for 220 hours. That works for me. I provide my own energy via solar power so I can watch TV,charge phones,lightsand run a radio. I pack in my water via reliance 7 gallon stackable water totes. Yes, I have videos on those too. None of my adventure would be possible without the the perfect base camp. The Kodiak Canvass 10x14 tent is the base camp for anyone in my opinion. Here is my disclaimer. I do not endorse any of the products mentioned in my comments for compensation. Its all true and oh,by the way, Im 60 years old and love the tent/camp/outdoor living life. Cheers and buy the 10x14!

Thanks for sharing

Model 6098 is pretty awesome.

I MUST have the 9x8!

Two clips to attach too the big poles on both sides of the 10x14 flex bow, Would open that tent up big time.

Seen many of these tents at Rabbit Stick in Rexburg Idaho this September. Talked to many of the owners. They say, they'll never buy another tent again. Everyone said they loved it. Watched a woman, put one up on under 6 minutes by herself

Great video!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for an excellent comprehensive comparison! Oh, thank you! Too bad it did not make my decision as to which one for me. Hmmm..laugh, laugh. Question: How do they hold up being raised for an entire summer? Question: SIde-by-side, how do the various models hold up to wind / microbursts> Why do I ask? Because we will be using our for [a] Summer back-yard camping/sleep overs and [b] Camping at Pennsic (in Pennsylvania) for two solid weeks. Generally, a 4-man tent barely serves 1 person with all cooking gear and food, clothing plus archery thrown weapons gear, musical instruments, dance garb, craft projects... Whew!

Great info. Thanks

Awesome video I'm super excited to by one

Cool innovative tents, I'm from the UK & never seen one of your tents in the flesh, I've had many tents over the years but have now settled with a Danish company called outwell, they cater for all budgets, I've had an outwell troutlake for many many years whitch is polycotton and it's still awesome, I've also got an outwell niagrafalls and an outwell Yosemite falls which both are 100% cotton rip stop, the outwell niagrafalls & Yosemite falls are the best tents money can buy hear in the UK ( priced from $2000 to $3500) although outwell have stopped making them, we believe they stopped making the 100% ripstop tents as they literally last a life time, unfortunately outwell are now using cheaper parts and materials in there high end tents and are losing loyal customers to thrre competitors, which is cool as we all need to have a reason to try other companies gear. Take a look at the reviews for the outwell niagrafalls, Yosemite and Yellowstone tents, theres some great innovative hints and tips. Any way great video and I like the look of your tents, going to do a quick search to see if we have them in the UK.

Amazing video!

I am saving up for one of these badboyz right now!

I just bought the 12x12 for snow camping, cant wait to get a stove and camp out in the middle of nowhere

I believe the No Seem-um netting gets its name because of the pest nick-named the No See-um. It's smaller than a mosquito so the mesh is woven more tightly in order to block these smaller pests. A major advantage I think!

These are the best tents ......I have the same wife issue she loves them.
