Flex-bow VS Cabin Tent: Which Kodiak Canvas Tent is best for You?

Kodiak Canvas is a company that makes high-quality, durable tents. They have a few lines of tents depending on your needs, so today we will discuss the Flex-bow and the Cabin series. Both of these lines have some great features, but which one do you need? Let's compare the Kodiak Canvas Flex-bow tent and the Kodiak Canvas Cabin Tent to help you decide which one is right for you!

The length of your trip makes a big difference on which tent you need

If you are going on an extended hunting or camping trip (one week or more) and want to really set up shop, then the Kodiak Canvas Cabin Tent is a great option. It's ideal for longer stays since it feels more like a full size cabin. It's an all season tent built to stand up to heavy duty weather, has multiple rooms and the large D shaped doors allow for easy access. The tall roof (7.5 ft at peak) and steep wall designs (5 ft at the ends) give an open inside stand-up, stroll around comfort.

The Kodiak Canvas Flex-bow Tent is an extremely versatile option as it is lighter than the cabin tent and has an easy single person setup. However, it is still roomy enough for a family of four and has all the features you need for a comfortable camping trip. It's made with waterproof and mildew resistant canvas, Spacious 6'6" ceiling height allows you to walk around, has large windows for ventilation and views and also comes with an awning for shade. This tent is perfect for a weekend away.

How many people are in your group?

This is an important question because you need to make sure everyone has a comfortable place to sleep. The Kodiak Canvas Cabin Tent sleeps six people very comfortably as it has a 12 person capacity, while the Kodiak Canvas Flex-bow 10x10 Tent sleeps four people comfortably with a 6 person capacity.

Something else to consider is the set up. The Flex-Bow tent has an easy one person set up, whereas the Cabin Tents require two people and more time.

What will the weather be like?

Each Kodiak Canvas Tent is good to use year-round, they all have Hydra-Shield™ 100% Cotton Duck Canvas which is durable, watertight, and breathable. They can withstand rain and snow (not designed for heavy snow accumulation). They all boast no see um mesh to keep even the smallest pests out and have wonderful ventilation.

If it's going to be really windy, you may want to consider the Flex-Bow tent as it has a smaller surface area than the Cabin tents. If you are using the Cabin tent and encounter high winds, you can add some extra guy ropes if needed.

How are you transporting your tent?
