Jer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Best deal has been at Costco, $180 bucks for a "3" man (better for 2) pop-up. Most stores will be sold out this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Urban Fisherman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'll have mine out on Sunday Dano - so if the kids get cold they can warm up in it. I know if the fishing is slow Averie will likely watch a movie while she fishes! lol Talk about roughin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdve23rveavwa Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 lol Great idea We'll have ours out as well, Dan...so a couple places to warm up for a bit, if need be. Keep your eyes open, though if you really want one...not sure if Joey sold theirs yet...same model that Ryan and I have. Great hut for two or one.

Big Cliff Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The family got me a 4 man SubZero for Christmas and I really love it. A little black cat heater in it and we were very comfortable. Now it is rated as a 4 man but two of us with our gear and the heater was just right, 4 would be crowded. CTC has them on special quuite often for about $100.00 off so they aren't a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governator Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hey Guys, I got the clam base camp, has anyone been successful setting it up by themself? I've found it nearly impossible, I just can't keept he 4 corners down in order to pop up the top, is there a better way to try by yourself? Pretty easy to setup with another person just thought I'd like the possibility of bringing it alone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I have the eskimo quick fish 3 which is pretty much the same thing i think. I open it myself all the time. Just pop out the roof/top piece first then the sides of the hut. Sometimes it goes smoothly and it will pop right up, sometimes I need to pull it against the wind...

Hey Kevin - That's what I keep trying to do, but it won't lay flat for me to do that. When I try to pop the roof/top first the opposite side flips up at me. I'm just I just need some practice and maybe need to work it in a bit. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governator Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Wooooww... now the top roof hinge broke just trying to pop it up, so it's completely wrecked and won't pop up anymore. Awesome I now have a freaking broken shack without it being on the ice. Unreal I don't understand what I did wrong, I did the exact same thing they show on their video from their site. I've never felt so completely useless before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yikes! I was wondering how durable the hut will be with this need of popping in and out all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 With my Eskimo pop-up, I find it much easier to anchor down at least 3 corners before trying to pop the top or sides. It gives you something to pull against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governator Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks guys for the advice & offer for help. I just wanted to give big props to Clam Corp. for providing some great customer service. I explained what happened and they just asked for my mailing address and are sending me a replacement hub that I broke without any questions! These guys are great and because of that I'll continue to buy from them. They certainly made me happy. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
