Micro Glamping in a Tornado🌪️just before Christmas🎅🏻Kodiak Canvas

Was pretty intense as the funnel clouds moved overhead. No damage to my property but lots of damage in the DFW area. Crazy storms here in Texas during December. I thought the Kodiak Canvas tent performed very well during this crazy storm.
14 tornados 🌪️in the area that day

    how high is that cot? Is there a 3 inch foam padding on it? I've been thinking about this tent but want to know if its cozy with a low camp chair, standard cot, and heater or if it feels too tight. Also wondering, since you're practically the only person on youtube right now that has a review with this tent that has a cot set up in it, does the sloping walls make you feel like you have to hunch over when sitting on the cot when its against one side? Can't find any information anywhere on what the dimensions are half way up and at the top as the slopping walls narrow the space. All they tell you is 4 foot high and 6.5x8. That really doesn't say anything for practicality with a standard height cot.

    So my cot is 75”x25”x20” l,w,h And I had a 2” airpad on it. When i sit on the cot I do not feel cramped. Im 6’ tall. The walls of the tent slope a bit towards top but better than most all tents. With the low chair, cot and side table I feel vey comfy and cozy with plenty of room to maneuver. Very spacious for one person and this setup.

    I’ve been using this tent for a few years now and love it! Been toying with the idea of using a cot, im new to your channel and might have missed if you mentioned it already. What cot are you using? I’ve been all over the place with the right height and by judging with what I’ve seen yours might be a good fit for what I’m looking for Thanks in advance

    In real life you can’t run in the house 🤣🤣🤣 Nice video though. The exact set-up I’ve been looking for. Kodiak 2-person with a cot and see how much extra room it has while sitting upright and around the cot on the floor. It’s perfect for me! Oh and in the field, trees around the tent will really cut out that wind.
