Best review on this tent to date! It seems you could accomadate two people with some minor reconfiguration and a double cot setup? I'm just now moving past run of the mill popup tents as I'm going to be doing all season camping from here on out, I am sold on this one! How has the stove jack held up with use?
Thank you for the thumbs up. This tent will accommodate two cots with some minor re-configuration but I would recommend you look at the 12'x12' tent instead of the 12'x12'. They are identical, with maybe one less window. I have run the stove extremely hot and it has held up great. There are some minor cracks due to the heat but it's still rainproof and nothing has melted. The floor mats have also been great with no damage to the floor, even with high temperatures, but I do double up on the mats. I still love the tent. The only better thing may be a truck camper but this is my favorite tent and it's holding up extremely well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Rick
Nice; hunting on my spare time for 2 days some times 3 , this is not for me, I'm looking for quick setup and breakdown, i had my nylon tent for 13 years with a buddy heater and bring my harvest home to package. But tent is old and looking for other options. Thanks for sharing.
Always glad to help. I'm heading out tomorrow with my other Kodiak Canvas tent. It's a FlexBow tent. They're both great. You can learn more about the FlexBow tent in one of our other reviews below. th-cam.com/video/MCtSaGe5sAE/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any questions. Rick
Im really torn between the flex bow 10x14 and this 10×10 cabin . I will be using it by my self in low country S.C . No stove will be needed so i think i will have plenty of room . They are close in price just can not make my mind up. Since you said you have the flex bow also what do you recommend
The Flex Bow is easier to setup and has plenty or room for a cot, chair, table and a Big Buddy heater. Check out this video here to see how I laid it out. th-cam.com/video/MCtSaGe5sAE/w-d-xo.html I would go with the Flex Bow unless you really need the extra room. Let me know if you have any other questions. Rick
Yah, it's great for one person and their dog. Mike has the 12'x12' and it's big enough for two people and two dogs...okay, maybe one dog. I love these tents. They are the best I have ever used. Rick
I've been hearing a lot about diesel heaters and this is something I am looking into testing in upcoming camping trips. What diesel heater do you use? Rick
@@mikenrickoutdoors mine is an inexpensive VEVOR "portable" but I'm setting it aside and I'm getting the HCALORY 12V Portable one that comes in a case. it's only 80.00 and should be well worth it for the price point.
1 person tent? lol. Guess ya like to sprawl out a bit. It looks big enough for my family of 5. Just no table, or lounge chairs. lol. Thanks for the view though and I’ve already ordered mine.
That's great. I really like mine and I know you'll love yours. Yah, no one get's to crash my party and have plans of putting their sleeping bag in my tent. Of course I would in an emergency, but I do like my space. Rick
That is a tent I want to get soon and I'm thinking that will handle a wood stove better than the 10'x10' I have as it can get to warm in that tent with my current wood stove. Rick
THIS is the video I’ve been looking for. We’ve been eyeing this tent for a few months now and wondering if it would fit our fam of 4 plus a dog. We bought the NF Wawona 6 and it did not fit our family at all.
With a family of 4, I would take a hard look at the 12'x12' tent that Mike has. It's the same as mine but will give you some extra room. You can learn more about his tent in the video links below. th-cam.com/video/xEAdBMz5SGI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/yTXMSnogNRM/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any other questions. Rick
From my experience here in Colorado with most of the camp grounds, it would fit well. I have seen a few, closer to Denver and Colorado Springs that would be a little suspect, but that's not the norm. I have the 10'x10' and a larger Coleman tent, and Mike has the 12'x12' and we have never had a problem at the campgrounds we have stayed at. Let me know if you have any other questions. Rick
Two, and I have had it really hot and have not had a problem. I could try one mat but I like overlapping them to give me more coverage in front of the door. Rick
I'm not sure what you're saying. There is one door and five or six windows with two vent at the top. Please explain what you're referring to as pass-throughs. Rick
I don’t see a port to run a propane, line and extension cord, or use a diesel heater in that tent.. a pass-through would be an opening to run peripheral items through
That makes sense. You're right. I run the hose out the door of the tent and leave a small slit in the opening. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to create a pass-thru. I'm going to look into that. Thanks for bringing this up. Rick
Thank you bud please let me know if you figure out something .I really like to tent and I was thinking about getting one. I do have three different heating systems, the woodstove, the propane stove, and a diesel heater depending on my situation I like to use one or the other or two different heating sources
Great points. My favorite so far is the Big Buddy, but I'm starting to look into the diesel heaters. The problem I was having with the wood stove was controlling the amount of oxygen getting into the stove which was heating me out of the tent. I bought some heat resistant sealer to go around the opening of the door to reduce the oxygen amount, but I haven't test it yet this winter. Rick
that stove cap will send embers on top of tent... get rid of cap, use screen....
Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't given any thought to that potential.
Much appreciated.
Rick
I didn’t even consider that thanks rock

for a bit under 700 this is great for me and my doggo. we live outdoors full time and need this. it looks so much bigger than 10x10.. lol.
Yah, it's great for one person and their dog. Mike has the 12'x12' and it's big enough for two people and two dogs...okay, maybe one dog. I love these tents. They are the best I have ever used.

@@mikenrickoutdoors I have a diesel heater. is it possible to set it outside and route the heater hose into the tent through the door?

I have the Kodiak canvas 12x16 cabin tent.
4 people can sleep along side walls leaving lots of room in the middle to set up a table to gather at.
That is a tent I want to get soon and I'm thinking that will handle a wood stove better than the 10'x10' I have as it can get to warm in that tent with my current wood stove.
Rick
Best video so far on this tent. I agree, this is a one person tent.
Much appreciated on both accounts.
Rick
now this is living in luxury!
Yah, it is nice. I like to enjoy camping, especially when it starts getting cold here in Colorado.

nice tent and review. Perfect for one big dude!
LOL. You're exactly right. It's a one-man tent, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Rick
Thanks for the video!! I’m about to make a purchase this week!
Let me know how you like it.
Rick
Thanks for the video. Can you suggest if 12*12 will be too big for typical camp grounds?
From my experience here in Colorado with most of the camp grounds, it would fit well. I have seen a few, closer to Denver and Colorado Springs that would be a little suspect, but that's not the norm.

@@mikenrickoutdoorsthanks for detailed response.
How many mats do you have under the stove?
Two, and I have had it really hot and have not had a problem. I could try one mat but I like overlapping them to give me more coverage in front of the door.

Great review. Thanks brother
Thanks for the thumbs up.

The only flaw see what this tent is there’s no pass-throughs
I'm not sure what you're saying. There is one door and five or six windows with two vent at the top.
