Just got the 9x8

Gosh this is so impressive. I can not keep mine up to temp. It’s burried out way too hot or hardly running.

Great video, very informative!

Bro undo the bottom not the top and you can easily carry the whole pack out with meat. Don't undo the top when loading meat undo the bottom

Inth8nk the hole in the flap isnfor a rioe to pull it down so the water don't run back to the door area and runs foward . I think! 💭

Was this system originally from a tundra?

That’s awesome I do that stuff all the time when I hear a good song. Your welcome my man!!

Downloaded this song on spotify because of you. Thanks brother. The beat is hard.

its made by sc johnson so you know you shouldnt be putting that sin on your skin😂

sand it down with 6-800 grit sand paper and then clean and spray with a can of 2k clear coat and you wont have to do it again for years.

You really shouldn't be using bug repellent for a headlight restoration, repellents often contain chemicals that can damage the headlight's plastic surface. These chemicals may cause discoloration, cloudiness, or even cracks on the headlights over time. You should only use dedicated headlight restoration kits or professional polishing products designed for this purpose to ensure the longevity and clarity of your vehicle's headlights. It's a neat trick but definitely do not continue doing this unless you want to purchase a new set of headlights down the road.

It works great for a little while, but it's not a long-term solution.

remember to cover it with some form of anti oxidant or clear coat like wax to stop it from fogging again

That’s amazing!

How did you get the factor tie downs off lol. Mine have liner spray in them and I can't figure out the right size torx. I think it's t40 though the instructions say t30

I think you’re absolutely right on the workaround. And that’s exactly why I wanted to watch your video because that was my concern. But that design is the same as my EXO mountain gear pack. It’s pretty near impossible to reattach the top of the bag to the top of the frame if you have an elk quarter in it. That was my biggest concern I’m looking at purchasing this pack for my wife tomorrow every video I seen they reattach the top. In my case Elk hunting if that was what Hass to happen it would never work for me. I think your workaround is exactly how it supposed to work thank you for your time

Fricken minty bud

Súper helpful. Thanks homie

Never saw anyone abuse a charcoal chimney like that 😅

I've had one for a couple of years and it has been great except for a couple of issues. The door zippers are not adequate. We have one failing on the door under the awning. The door is under a lot of tension due to the spring bar design and it has cause the zipper to fail right at the corner. A secondary issue is the design of the awning. Its very awkward and the center grommet must be tied down so it is lower than both poles so water can drain otherwise water will pool and bring down the tent.

There is straps on the bottom to loosen it so it can go back over the top

I'm loving the echo with nothing in it and sense the tent is so heavy made of thicker material than other tents coupled with how big it actually is I'd argue it's more of a portable tiny home more so than a tent

Great job, the burnt wood was a great idea! Can you post a cut sheet of dimensions?

Will I be allowed to ask you for one of those desks

I just ordered them !

Thats nice, good work

You can NOT "season" this tent out of the box. It has been treated with some kind of waterproofing and spraying it with water only demonstrates it. The cotton fibers are not soaking in water for the effect this guy is claiming it needs. It all depends on the use of the tent. One day camping trip after a few uses, you will notice your tent doesn't seem to be as dry as when you first bought it. Being exposed to the sun is the biggest factor. Once all the water proofing from the factory wears off... make sure its bone dry and then SOAK it. Even spray they seams especially on the interior. let it settle and then in some way , dry it thoroughly..... then maybe do it again.....and DRY....then pack away! That is seasoning a tent. If you want to get crazy about waterproofing, do research on wax treating cotton canvas.

Save yourself some time and hard work by investing in some 12 inch lag bolts with 2 inch washers . They work great as stakes

Great review man! Thanks, I was on the fence about these but you convinced me. How have they been after 2 years of use?

How long for 5lbs?

What's the load rating on the loft?

Thanks for sharing. How does it do in the summer? There is another version with more windows for another $100. So just wondering if this one is hot in the summer without the extra windows.

Does this tent have a whole way you can put in a wood stove? I didn’t see it in your video.

I like it you can strap anything down on it and still have your pack or not.

Pretty neat pack. Like you say I think its made to be very versatile. Letting your son help carry some stuff in part of the pack will definitely give him a lot of pride helping out.

Thanks for the cool video!

Hi Erik! Great video. Looking to buy a Kodiak tent. More for hunting purposes in late winter. How's it hold up in low temps and do you recommend a water proof spray right away or wait a year or so? Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

For first exposure to water with a hose I'd use my hands to help the canvas soak in the water as u need the fibers to be thoroughly soaked then to dry under really good sunlight..dry to bone for fibers to really shrink, also get bucket of hot water and dawn dish soap an wash the vinyl floor, then dry an repeat few times using a towel to dry after leaving it soak on floor really helps get rid of the smell of the vinyl

Love mine had it for years

I season with salt and pepper, then roast over a hot fire til well done

Please move your videos off TH-cam. There are so many ads now it's unwatchable!

Nice video. People complain about water pooling on the canopy. All you have to do is place the poles at an angle to shed water away from the door. A tent peg bent at a 45 degree angle to keep the pole in place. Nice review!

I have had the 10x10 flex bow from Kodiak and it has been through a few torrential downpours in Minnesota and South Dakota, it never leaked, not even without 'seasoning' it the first time. It has also held up to some pretty severe winds with zero issues. Easy to setup solo, quality durable materials and inexpensive, comparably speaking. Competitive edge online is an authorized dealer and sells them $50-$100 cheaper than Kodiak too.

they absolutely do leak if you don't treat them first, and then make sure the poles don't shred the canvas..... super frustrating if you screw it up. the water beads off except at the seams, where the water sits and soaks through until its seasoned after it gets wet, then dries out after 5 hours. was a tropical storm / monsoon in a rainforest. yes they leak if they aren't treated. :( then if they aren't fully dry, they develop soft spots, and then if you don't re-treat them with the right silicone, they leak again.

That “work around” makes so much sense. Your video helped me make my choice about 10 months ago. Thank you for creating this. I real wanted to not like this bag, but it is very comfortable. Not a quiet bag. But I haven’t mastered walking quietly myself, so

☹️ 『p』『r』『o』『m』『o』『s』『m』

Just sold my 10 X 10 Flexbow. The walls are too angular and the weight is too much for our needs. If you put a queen sized mattress in it, the walls are so steep you are bumping into the walls when you walk around the mattress. If they put the doors on the straight vertical sides it would of worked better.

Indeed it's awesome, the problem is that they don't ship it in Europe!!!! I guess their not interested in that market!

During a storm, I would drop the awning and lash it down to prevent it from flapping around in the higher winds.....

Such a talented and hardworking man!! Great video!!
