Guest 3lo Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Looking forward to ice season and started looking around for ice hut. Saw this one in CT flyer, any input if it can be used on ice? http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/1/Hunting/StandsBlinds/PRD~0750702P/Ameristep%252BHub%252BHunting%252BBlind%25252C%252BTangle%252B2.0.jsp?locale=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptackle Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 No personal experience but I have seen them used as ice huts when I lived in Trenton. I would check on how well they can be heated, after all they are a hunting blind intended to be shot out of as opposed to fishing from.

alexmedic Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Had a look at them today. For a hundred bucks, it's not a bad deal, but I noticed a few minor things that many may find not that great: 1. The entrance is smaller than an ice hut entrance. 2. Lotsa windows, but whe you open them, they are just screened, could get pretty breezy on the ice. hat being said, the screens do velcro out. You could replace them with home-made windows. 3. No snow skirt. Once again, could get pretty breezy. Other than that, not bad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I bought this on Friday, took it back this morning. Very difficult to put up as a single person. For ice fishing these are big balloons when the winds are up. I bought an ice fishing tent a while ago and both Malcolm and I had a four person tent and those poles don't like the cold. Both of ours cracked first or second trip out I have a 2 man Clam and a single Frabill now. Buy an ice hut not a tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
