Rod Caster Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) A nice price for a 2 or 3 man, but not much info on the site, or anywhere else online. 179 for the 3-man vs. 140 reg price. http://ca.wholesales.../prod10965.html Has anybody used a Crystal or Woods ice tent? Are they under 30lbs? Some of the other smaller shelters weight over 50lbs...that sounds horrible for a backlake trip especially after you add the weight from the other gear. Edit to say: 50lbs must include a sleigh. Here is a comparable 3-man Rapala Ice Tent. Higher price. 250 https://www.thefishi...07&ALL=ALL&d=07 The Eskimo 6-man quickfish looks like a good deal as well... 38lbs isn't bad for this much space. http://www.cabelas.c...n=1188&ID=14999 Any thoughts? Comparative products? Could I just buy a cheap portable tent and basically get the same advantage a shelter offers?

jim Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I own an Eskimo Base camp [3man] looks similar. Weighs 28 lbs. Not fire proof so be careful heating. I'm very happy with my tent. Not much info on the one in the ad, I'd want to know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Chad, my buddy has a 6 man Rapala hut, works very good, sturdy and very stable in high winds, worked very good at Quinte few weeks ago in heavy wind and snow.. But Woods one is at very good price, they're products at CT are not bad quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Lol seriously? Talking about huts... I'd be checking for tents this time of year. I already own a tent... But my gf won't let me cut holes in the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
