I'm looking at getting a dedicated car camping tent to be used primarily late Oct-Late Nov with possible December/Jan wolf hunt thrown in. Primary use would be in MT/WY/ID.
It seems the Kodiak Canvas spring bow series is very popular as are the Cabelas Alaskan outfitter tents. I feel like I'd prefer the setup, space, and condensation benefits of the Kodiak Canvas models. After watching a few videos of the Kodiak canvas tents in wind, I have some concerns about how they'd handle wind/weather. The places I've hunted where I'd car camp have all been pretty sheltered but I'm not sure that would always be the case. Part of me says it should be fine in places I have any business driving my F150 in Oct-December, I'm curious what other's thoughts are?
I'd be using this solo probably 50% of the time, 2 people 30%, 3 people 20% of the time. Ease of solo set up is important as I hate to have things preventing me from being mobile.
