Stoty Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The BP2 ice shelters are on sale right now at BPS, and I was thinking about going up tomorrow and getting one. Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with these shelters? Cheers, *Stoty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Did they physically check when you called Jamie... even standing in the store Dano was told they had lots of the "Wild" huts in the warehouse... only to find they didn't have a one !.. and wouldn't give him a rain cheque either... This was after he went in there for the Frabil Predator on sale.. and they didn't have any of those either.

Fisherman Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Stoty, you must have missed my earlier post, I looked at those about a week ago, the red ones, take a real hard inspection, look at the seams, pretty shoddy sewing, then lift up a corner of the sled, pretty floppy. then crawl in unless your two foot 24, they are pretty low.

Stoty Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks for the info guys! Now to my next question...... BP2 or BP2 Thermal? Is the extra $100 worth it for the thermal version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonny Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Actually guys just to make a point ,,,if you look in the manuals of ice huts they tell you that it is normal to see small holes at the stitching,,, i remember reading that somewhere,,doesn't mean that it is shaudy workmanship or quality, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJQ Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 From Bass Pro.. 54 of the BP2 Thermals in-stock as of this morning. 31 of the BP2 Huts The BP2 Huts are in fact manufactured for BPS by Clam. The BPS ice hut sale in Toronto has been running since December 1st . . . so some out-of-stock positions are possible especially in consideration of the advertised price. Ice Huts are seasonal . . . manufacturers only make so many and when they’re out, they do not produce a second run . . . so BPS cannot reorder nor can anyone else. All huts started in a more than adequate position. Hundreds of thousands of customers visit BPS through the month of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhedrmatt Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Bought the BP2 last year, works great for me!! Thermal would be nice, but for an extra $100,,, I'd use a bigger heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) "advertised" ice huts and their availability Aint that a poodle.... I won't go back there after my last trip. I went to get 3 things all "advertised", and walked out with a headache. Funny part was they were from all different areas of the store So I'm not sure if one person is responsible for ALL their inventory or not? I was after Hunting boots, a new Back pack, and a new Thermal sleeping Pad...none of which were in stock. When I asked an employee if they had anything in storage I got a snotty answer....no (even though he didn't check the inventory). Of course I spoke to the Manager who offered a rain cheque, and explained to me that the website sales can be outdated, and not indicitive of the inventory And suggested next time I should call before comming.... Is it me or does that Seem a bit silly to have to call a store to ensure they have what they advertise? Hey...what do I know.? Considering I drove in from Kitchener, and would have to drive in again I wanted a little somthing more for my time...but nope. Just a Thank you come again. Guess I'll support the locals even if they are a bit more $$$$ Edited December 22, 2008 by Cookslav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoty Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Ya, I opted with the Clam 2000. Like you said, much bigger. Also easier to setup with its telescopic rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
