Before You Set Out
You should assemble this tent at home at least once before your trip to familiarize yourself with the
process, and make sure all the parts are in good condition.
IMPORTANT
1. After initial set-up, it is recommended that you spray the tent with water and allow it to dry
completely. This ―seasons‖ the canvas. The water causes the canvas to shrink slightly, closing the
needle holes where the canvas was stitched. This process is only required once.
2. VERY IMPORTANT
—The tent must be completely dry before storage! STORING A WET OR DAMP
TENT, EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME, CAN CAUSE MOLD THAT WILL RUIN THE TENT AND VOID THE
WARRANTY.
Waterproofing
Kodiak Canvas tents are made with Hydra-Shied
™ canvas that features superb water repellency.
However, not all tents are completely waterproof out of the box. On occasion a new tent will experience
some leaking. 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®. This should absolutely take care of any leaks, and you should seldom have to retreat. Caution: Do
not use other types of waterproofing such as Canvak® on this Hydra-
Shield™ canvas, as it could affect
the breathability of the canvas. When properly sealed, your expectation should be that a Kodiak Canvas
tent will be completely dry inside, even during drenching rains.
