    kodiak or copper canyon

    I live in SC and I use my Kodiak Flex-bow 10x10 fall winter and spring in lowcountry camping. I too was worried about the SC heat and humidity, but I have found it to be a great purchase. It takes on the heavy rains and well and the large windows allow cross breeze. The newer VX would likely be...

    The springbar netting zips up in the front and I left it up in the daytime some and the mayflies got between the net and the top of the awning and got trapped. (with a seven year old running in and out it was hard to keep closed) I am interested how it may work with no seeums at dawn and dusk...

    The previous pic is of the wing vestibule. I think it would work well in the rain to give some more dry space to use. Yes it blocks the views from the front. I camp with other scout families so thats not a bad thing. The vestibule came with a cross bar that adjusts beteween the awning poles to...

    Also, I got the kodiak vestibule and a springbar screen accessory and doormat. I like both, but still not sure how practical the screen will be.

Aftter each campout, I set it up on my lawn and wash the exterior down and clean inside and leave it up...

    Screen Enclosure for Tents

    I went ahead and got the springbar traveler 5 screen netting and it fits well on the Kodiak 10x10. I did have to modify the awning some with a grommet clip and used an adjustable pole instead of the Kodiak awning pole. I camped with swarms of Mayflies around and it seemed to help them from...

    Screen Enclosure for Tents

    Just got the springbar tent screen and tried it on my flexbow. Really looks to be a good fit. I need an adjustable tent pole for the awning because the flexbow is about a 1/2 in too long to fit in the pocket at the base of the screen. Ready for a field test in 2 weeks. Also springbars doormat...

    Hey, I went on a scout Campout with the flexbow thought you may learn from my mistake. I folded it up as I thought was instructed but didn't fold it over and ended up rolling one of the little metal pegs on some canvas and punctured it through three layers. A local awning company fixed the holes...

    NoSeeUm's

    Anyone have tips on reducing no see ums or midges at the camp site? I am coastal camping by a marsh and river and they were out in force last weekend when I visited a similar area but not camping. These little guys have no regard for DEET it seems.

    Necessity of a Sleeping Pad?

    Planning to do car camping. I just bought 2 Easy-Fold cots and 2 Teton universal camp pads. The set up and trying it out seems comfortable. I shared a air mattress with my son last camp out and was not fun. I hope this is a better night sleep more restful and less pains in the back. - I will see...

    Got a new Kodiak Flex-Bow Tent For Christmas

    I like the idea of springbar's screen enclosure for their tent --for use in buggy South Carolina! I know kodiak does not offer this. Has anyone ever tried using a springbar screen? How about trying theirs on a flex-bow. The awning measurements are similar but not exactly same. Any other ideas?

    Got a new Kodiak Flex-Bow Tent For Christmas

    I looked online for deals for about a month before purchasing. Not much bargains that I could find out there in November for the model i got, 6010. Almost got an inexpensive 'new' one on eBay but lost last second bidding and shipping would have cost a lot anyway. I also began to worry how one...

We got a 10x10 Flex-bow and set it up on Christmas morning for his final big surprise gift. My son spent most of the day playing in the tent with his...
