 Do not spray insecticides or bug repellant directly on the canvas. This may damage the water-repellant 

treatment. 
 

 For long-term storage, store in a cool, dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight. 

 

 

This tent is equipped with quality zippers. To prolong zipper life, do not ―grind‖ zippers around corners. 

If needed, hold the canvas windows or doors in place to help zippers glide smoothly. Keep zippers clean 
from dirt. 
 

 The canvas on this tent has a special Hydra-

Shield™ treatment that is watertight, yet breathable. Over 

the life of the tent, occasional, waterproofing maintenance will be required.  If leaking occurs, it is an easy 
fix. Treat the affected area with a 

SILICONE

 based waterproofing such as Kiwi Camp Dry®.  

 

 Winter camping can be an enjoyable experience in a Kodiak Canvas tent. However, this tent is not 

designed for heavy snow accumulations. 
 

 For extended use situations (more than three consecutive weeks) 

see ―Extended use Care‖ at 

www.KodiakCanvas.com 
 
 

Other Notes 

 Condensation inside the tent is affected by the difference between inside and outside temperatures, 

and humidity.  Condensation can be reduced by venting your tent. Condensation between the floor and a 
sleeping mat can be reduced by placing a ground cloth underneath the tent. 
 

 Some slight irregularities are normal with 100% cotton canvas and will not affect the performance of 

your tent. 
 
We appreciate your business. Thank you for purchasing 

a Kodiak Canvas™ tent. We put our pride into 

the design and manufacturing of this product. It is the best of its kind available. We wish you safe and 
happy camping. Please tell your friends about us.
