    For the price you can’t beat this. It’s huge and I could stuff 10 of my buddys in this thing some sitting some standing. Super warm with a heater and keeps the heat well. The only problem is the windows do leak if it rains because the windows are removable. But most ice houses have that issue so it really isn’t a big deal definitely buy it especially if wanna bring people

  2. Jeff Sheldrake –

    Only reason it’s not 5 star is because it doesn’t have a hole to feed the propane hose threw the wall like the big name huts BUT it does come with a damn nice case to put all the pegs in. I liked that. The bag to put the hut in is a little tighter than other so it’s a little hard to put it away but overall great quality hut, just as good as my buddys clam and same size.
    Oh and the velcro strap they send it in will never fit back on but that’s w.e

    We used this all last winter and it was great. Its not insulated but with our portable heater we had to strip down to just t-shirts it was so hot in there. Seems to be built well, but I do wish it was just a bit larger. My only complaint is that the zippers jam now and then, but they are still running smooth.

    In the past I sporadically ice fished, but without a shelter. After buying this shelter, I added 3 months of ENJOYABLE fishing to my year! I researched many ice shelters and am pleased that this one met the great value I hoped it to be. Very well made with two reliable entrance zippers, several clear windows, and even some ventilation screens that I just discovered on my last outing. I’ve never sat in an insulated shelter, and while this one is not insulated, with a 15,000 BTU propane heater inside, I shed my coat. 10 – 12 (?) sturdy anchors are included as well as anchor strings which I learned this week in windy conditions are needed to prevent the wind side from collapsing in. 6 anchors plus 2 anchors to hold the anchor strings (did not use all anchor strings) held up to 20+ MPH winds this past week (but setting it up in the wind took some planning and extra bodies to keep it from flying away!). Unless you always fish alone, I would recommend the 6 man instead of 3 man shelter as the extra space is very nice and allows for more holes within the shelter. Enjoy!

    This thing is sweet. Anything less than 5 stars unless it arrived damaged is just being petty. First off I’m coming from using a 2 person flip tarp shanty thats lasted years, so I don’t have experience with the other big name brands that cost 2x+ as much, but this thing is the bomb. I was expecting cheapo paper thin fabric material but this thing feels and looks like it should cost just as much as the other brands. Had it set up in less than 1 minute without reading the instructions, granted it was inside a heated garage but it’s as simple as laying it out and popping out the centers of the panels. 2 fabric doors with no outer support on each corner with 2 zippers and a cover that goes over the outside zip to keep wind and ice out. The skirt is an awesome bonus to keep the wind out as well, throw some snow on it and youll be toasty. Single stitching on most of it but no loose threads and the feet and areas where you pop out the panels are solid metal and is firm enough that it wont get blown in on itself. Pictures do not do justice on the size. You can fit your family in here for Thanksgiving dinner. That being said if you’re expecting it to be easy to carry it does have some weight to it (maybe 30-35 lbs), the bag it comes with is the cheapest part of it all and looks like the straps won’t hold up to too much abuse, but if you plan on throwing it on a sled like 90% of people that ice fish you’ll be fine. It is not insulated but a buddy heater and a few beers you’ll be fine grow up. On top of how nice the shanty is, it includes the hardware and rope to strap it down! Get this to piss off your buddy that paid twice as much so he could say “bUt I hAvE aN eSkImO.” And no I wasn’t paid for this review it’s that nice.

    Update: got out on the ice today with 25+ mph wind gusts. Definitely need to strap this thing down and have a good pair of ice cleats on, at first dragged me about 30 ft along the ice and blowing the carrying bag across the lake after trying to pop up a side. Ended up getting a stake in one of the corners and working around before popping up anything (you need a drill to make a hole first then screw the stake in, actually bought the ryobi hammer drill with the auger adapter, works great). Once all 6 grommets on the base were staked I popped out one side at a time and tied them off with the rope included. Once strapped down I had no issues. Would definitely help if I had an extra person but after doing it once by myself in the wind I don’t think I’ll have as much of a problem next time around. Still a 5 star shanty, little buddy heater kept me warm all day. Only recommendation would be buy extra rope to tie the walls out so they don’t blow in, maybe even short bungee cords to make it quick. Also wish there was a metal grommet in the center of the ends to keep the skirt down since I didnt have any snow to pile on it.

    Only 4 stars because I’ve only set it up at home so far but the quality seems good and sturdy. I can see what some users say about the difficulty of putting it back in the bag, BUT I DID IT! If you buy this, you’ll see what I mean.

  7. Jeff Sheldrake –

    Great pop-up with lots of room! Only problem we had was with the windows. If you opened them, they wouldn’t fully seal back up because of the tension.

  8. Cory –

    Yeah i know what you will think. I bought this for my basement, in case of a blackout. It was 11 degrees in the house the last time we had a blackout a few days ago and i said next time we will be ready. It was so easy to pop up, the walls are made strong and thick, its not a cheap tent. We tried it last night. I managed to have 15 degrees in my basement and… we were three and it was so hot in there. So it’s really good. We put a queen bed and you could manage to put 2 others kinda of mattresses if not too wide. I wont test it on ice or snow but i think you wont be disapointed.

    You get what you get for $200. The next 6 person tent could cost you $500+ so it’s certainly a risk you can make if trying out tents for the first time. So definitely can’t complain about the price, tho I know I’ll be upgrading to something of higher quality by next season. It’s warmer than you’d think, even took it out in -4 out, with a propane heater it was warm enough inside to enjoy the day. Very easy to set up and put away, really easy. Big problem is the durability. I’ve taken it out 6 times, I’ve patched 4 holes, and more holes keep popping up. You can see stretches in the tent with each use. I doubt it will last more than 10 trips next season without tearing too much to use. All in all/it gave me the chance to try a tent fir the first time on the ice, though it’s getting beat up rapidly, it’s probably best for those who may venture out once or twice a year in less than brutal conditions.

    Thunder Bay—throw me $200 towards an upgrade I’ll try it out no question!

     Easy to set up just like my Eskimo. Fits back it bag much easier and quicker than my Eskimo. Only problem so far is the stitching is subpar. You can definitely see outside in all the seams. We did enjoy a 2 day on ice camp trip and 3 of us slept in it. Worked great, can’t say how it will be next season. We only used it 4x so far. Impressed with size 2 doors and ease of use. Only issue is windows are hard to velcro shut, need someone inside and outside at same time to do it right.

     I was blown away by the ease it took to build this tent. It took me 5 minutes. So simple and very sturdy. Simply take out of the bag , throw on the ground and pop out the roof , walls and ends. It’s just as easy to take down and pack away. It is blacked out inside for ultimate darkness if needed. All windows are velcro and can be removed if more airflow is needed. You can use this tent for many different things. Great value for the money. It has a cool back pack feature for the carrying case and is fairly light weight. Definitely impressed by this purchase.

    Really enjoy this tent but the doors are a bit small.
