We have the same Cabelas West Wind, I believe it's a 4. We have been using it for 8 years and been through some serious weather, high and dry. Great without the fly as well on hot summer nights and has a vestibule that is great for boots etc and to aid keeping interior dry. Not an ez up type tent for sure but worth the effort.
anyone own or used this tent before?

Just an update, if anyone was interested about the quality and weather resistance of the Kodiak Canvas springbar tent--we spent the last week camping in north Georgia where it rained heavily almost every night. Not a drop of water inside, and no transfer of water from the walls (like in most tents where anything touching a wall would get wet). I was truly impressed. The only thing that bothered me (a little) was that, due to its design, the top panel of the tent is stretched really tight, and under heavy rain it sounds a bit like a snare drum.

That's our "fair weather" summer car camping tent. We used it last weekend (it sucks though, when the weather suddenly isn't very fair
). Otherwise, it's fine. Super easy to set up. Things start to break if it's windy though. LOL

what? did you fart?
I was looking at the 1 person tent Kodiak makes, but after further research I wouldn't get the one man based solely on weight. It was listed at 17.5 lbs!!!! For backpacking that is a huge amount of weight, especially when every ounce you can shave counts. I guess vehicle based camping it wouldn't matter, but I wouldn't have a single person tent in that scenario.... not sure what they were thinking when they designed it?
We have one of those. I can only repeat what's already been said, bad weather is no good. As a fair weather tent this little thing is incredibly easy to set up and serves the purpose just fine.

I thought I knew that look...
It went up easier once the sequence of events is worked out... no pics of inside, but it is big, and stays cool under the sun; warm at night.

My goto tent is a Kamp-Rite Oversize Tent Cot. It works great for solo camping.
I prefer the REI Half Dome. No extra drag on the roof, better mpg. Wells, NV; Ely, NV; Prescott NF, AZ.
