livinisfishin Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey, anybody know of an ice fishing shelter that can fold up and fit into the back of my pontiac sunfire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 The Pontiac Sunfire IS a portable ice shelter! Sorry Bud, it was stronger than dirt. Are you looking for a one man shelter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 The Clam "HUB" folds down to 45"x9"x9" and weighs 19lbs. It's a two man 60"x60" with a 65" centre height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 We have an HT Polar Express. It is a folding backpack shelter, 1 or 2 man. Weighs 20lbs. The enire unit unfolds not unlike a clam with a pair of collapsible seats inside. We have the rest of our gear on a small sled. The shelter is darn good for being lightweight. One drawback, and I'm finding the same problem with a lot of canvas product. A lot of the product sewn in thr Far East has poor stitching and cheap thread. It is only a minor inconvenience for me as I have had a lot of practice sewing canvas with a sailmakers palm. For most it would be a major problem.

sonny Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 i'd go with the clam2000,,,the flip style hut won't fit in your vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have a Fish Trap Pro which is a roomier one man flip style. Fits in my VW Golf no problem with the back seats folded down. Measure your car for space before you do anything and if you can fit a flip up portable in that is what I recommend you get. A little more money....but a far more user friendly hut. I have had both styles of portables, and would never go back to a hut that is not flip style. Whatever you decide, good luck when we get some hardwater!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 My 4 man Ice cube folds up smaller than a golf bag and weighs about 25lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaseyB Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I also like the 4-man ice cube. 3 years now and no problems even at -30 on Lake Nippising. Holds the heat well with my buddy heater on low and lots of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
