If you take a close look at the Gander anchors they look really close to the eskimo anchors.
Indeed. I just ran out to get some dinner and stopped by the local Gander to see if they had them in stock yet and I wasn't disappointed. Comes with a duffel style carry bag with tipup pockets on each side, and six anchors, which if they aren't Eskimo they are dead ringers right down to the case they come in. Done deal. I almost thought maybe these shacks were made by Ardisam for Gander but I'm not sure they'd undersell themselves with a better bag than theirs come with. I wish it wasn't 300D but that seems to be what everyone sells these days. For $99 I think I'll be happy with it.
I think Gander's hub shelters are made by Artisam because of the removable windows and the hubs look identical to Eskimo's.
Actually the windows are sewn in like the Clams. This makes me think Clam, but then the hubs do look a lot like the Eskimo's even the anchors.
Not on this one. Got it home and just set it up to have a look see, it has a window on each side and they are held in place by velcro. It's not quite as robust as my old shack, but it seems solid. The only real complaints I have, and they are nit picky at best, is that it comes with 6 anchors but no tie down straps. Also the skirt is not grommeted for anchors, instead there is a tab on each corner for tying them down from the inside. I'll just pilfer the tie downs from my old shack or go to the crafts store and get some strapping and connectors. I compared the anchors to my Eskimos and they are dead ringers, they even come 6 in a pouch just like the Eskimos. If I see a Quickfish 2 out there this year I might ask to pop my head in for a second just to compare the hubs and poles. Also says it has a 1yr/100% guarantee, so for $100 bucks I think it's a good deal.
