Had decent luck with the one I got at Dicks last year. It's a Jawbone brand, which I guess is their house brand. I recommend getting some extra anchors and a bit of paracord to add tie-downs for windy days because those big square walls make good sails. I've been setting mine up with the corners to the wind, which seems to put less stress on it.

I checked that shanty out and it looks to be the exact same design as my eskimo quickfish 3 but with fabric that is twice as thick. The anchors didn't look as good as the eskimos but otherwise seems like a nice bargain. I saw one out on Colchester Pond a few weeks ago and it sure is orange.

That was me and a pal on Colchester pond - it is a great shanty. It belongs to a buddy, and is a big upgrade to the two man hard bottom frabill two man shanty we fished out of last year. Very spacious

You shouldn't need any extra cord/stakes - if theres wind, we stake out a couple of the walls in the direction of the wind. No issues yet.

That's what I got the extras for. 

The shanty came with 6 anchors which were decent quality, and cord for two sides, so I got a pack of extra anchors and added a couple of cords on the other two sides so I can be ready in case of wind-shifts.

Saw a couple of those orange shanties on st. albans bay this weekend.  You wont lose your shanty that's for sure! haha

Uncle had this shanty he loves it. He uses it all the time. A lot better durability than what he and me thought. The only thing is he tried spearing out of it and he couldnt see anything becAuse of the Orange reflection on the water but if your not spearing it should be great.

If i recall correctly the interior of this shanty
Was black.

[perchkiller123]

oh he might have a different version than you. he got it last year.

[bootstrap]

could make it up to look like a pumpkin.

[perchkiller123]

or a basketball

Anyone got a picture or a link to this thing? Being orange I would think that getting the old O1 on there would be appropriate 

[bootstrap]

I love it. is it for sale? my neighbors would love seeing it sitting in my yard off season.

[Lavman]

It's "The General Laramie" 

Not mine, but very cool in a yee haw redneck sort of way. I imagine this thing is an absolute chick magnet

I didnt know there was any ice fishing in dixie.

Sounds like a good deal. It's nice the portables are getting more affordable when I bought my first one from frabill 9 years ago I spent over 450$$ worth the money as I just had to get a new one this year but still and expensive pill for some people to swallow.  I got an Eskimo quickfish 3 with the insulated material for 220 and I love it. Good luck with ur new shack !
