Kodiak Canvas/Buddy Heater

[svivian]

I think it’s possible we have experienced different conditions.

I tarped mine with a blue tarp, steep, tire, slick.

Tons of juy outs

Tried to keep the heater at 50 and still almost had a collapsing problem after 3days in the backcountry.

A foot of wet snow.

Certainly possible.

Ive used the kodiak cabin tent for 15 years and the flexbow for a few years now and never had anything i couldnt just knock off.

Heavy wet snow could definitely cause issues with any setup.

I had a propane heater, just had to keep pounding the roof of the tent from the inside
Stayed plenty warm and dry

Definitely get the Big Buddy and run a hose on a bigger tank.

I run the 10x14 flexbow. I turn the heater off when going to sleep. My bag and clothes and body are warm enough by bedtime that I stay warm all night. I can lay in bed when I wake up and turn it back on in the morning without leaving the bag.

Agree. I ran the stove when we were awake. Buddy heater at night to avoid getting up. We had a boot dryer on a generator that was awesome too.

Poundinf the tent definitely works.

If you are there to do it.

I bought their rain fly which pitches over the bar on top. Helps make a slope for the snow to fall off.

However I think i remember you selling one but didnt use? lol not saying to be a dick but it would have been worth trying

What I like about that fly is it keeps the roof of the tent dry/clear so helps the tent breath better. If it's wet or covered with snow it's more likely to have condensation issues I think.
