Mr.Topwater! Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hi. I'm new here. I just retired and I'm looking for 1 man thermal hut. Light and simple flip over style. Easy to pull.Any good and bad experiences ? $500 max.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepjigging Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have only used pop-ups. Love them. How will you deal with the weight of the flip-overs? Getting it on and off your vehicle? Sleepjigging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Topwater! Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I owned a pop up once. It acted like a parachute. I'm only 57 so the weight should be okay. I'm leaning to the clam legend thermal. One more question, Sleepjigger. Are the thermals good enough to be heated with just a candle? Probably a stupid question. Thanks a lot.

DRIFTER_016 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm partial to Frabill huts myself. The Thermal Commando would be the 1 man you would want in their line. If you are going to be hand pulling you will want to build yourself a Smitty Sled to make the job easier. You are not going to heat them with a candle unfortunately but they do hold the heat better and will also cut down on the dripping off the roof. I don't have dripping problems as it's too freaking cold!!!! I end up with frost over almost the entire inside of my non-insulated 2 man hut.

Mr.Topwater! Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks, everyone. It's nice to talk to other passionate fisherman. It comes down to the Legend or the Commando. I'll sit in both at BP. The Frabill is 8 lbs heavier but has more features. Either way I'll be out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
