Hi, I just joined the forum and looking forward to all the vast knowledge that hangs around here. So, I'll get to the point. I'm 62 and starting to get back into tent camping. I'm looking between the copper canyon 6 or the Kodiak. Here's some info. I love the outdoors and the cabins that the state parks offer are getting expensive. I live in South Carolina and will probably do 99% of my camping in SC and in state parks. My wife probably won't camp much. I'm looking at maybe 3 to 4 times a year, spring and fall. I'm working on my bucket list which is to fish and hunt as many places as I can in SC. I'm looking for a 10x10 tent that I can set up by myself and it not be a battle. I love the Kodiak but not having much experience with canvas and people telling me that canvas is not for the south I figured that all this knowledge will fill me in. The copper canyon looks like a good southern tent however I'm concerned with it holding up to weather. Is the Kodiak as easy to set up as the video shows? Is it extremely hot during warm southern days and nights? Does it STAY DRY during afternoon storms? I know that I have to make the choice and everyone will have an opinion on this but hopefully your experience with the two tents will educate me. Thanks in advance and looking to learn a lot from here. Charlie
