the whole thing is 8' x 12", but actually can be used as two individual 4' x 8' shacks that each have their own door, windows, shelves and benches.

I was in it Sunday @ -20 F . I run a single MR Heater and I wish that I had two (one on each side of the tub). Then the sun came up and it was very nice.
I've had mine for four years and no complaints. :tipup:

Sounds like a new tradition I'm gonna start with mine ;D By the way what is the rope for coming down along your stove pipe ??? Is that for the steam whistle :roflmao:
-
Here ya go, my first post here! This is a portable I built. The cover I bought off fleabay for 40 buck, the rest I had in the garage. Kind of heavy and does not go over snow well. I have an idea for making skis out of conduit that raise and lower so it can be off the ground when pulling and then lowered for fishing.

Nice job, Mosely. Is that a Shappel canvas?
-
I was told it was a viking canvas, but I believe its the same as shappel. Its the old 3 man that fits 2 just right! I am thinking about taking the skis off and building a seprate sled. I need something that moves well so I can drag more crap out on the ice with me! did you notice my upside down ski pole table?
-
That's one of the best ideas I have seen for a table and best uses I've seen for a ski pole, let alone using it for a table stand. You should patent that one and make a killing ;D
-
Thanks for the compliment! That table holds a lot of crap when I'm in my shack. I am kind of struggling with a better idea for the skis. Anyone ever see a way to have skis that pop up into place for towing, allowing the shack to be a foot or so up (for pulling through snow) and then when ready to setup the shack they fold down or out of the way so the shack ice holes are closers to the ice? My shack right now pushes snow if it is more than 3 or 4 inches.
Every year I try to do something different to it, usually just minor improvements. Last year was the table, this year I hope to solve the ski problem. I would also like to dress it up a little this year. Maybe an iron on IceShanty.com logo with my screen name. We do this on another board I belong to, that way if you are out on the ice and another member is out you who your buds are.
-
what if you made some legs that flip down like a folding table you know what i mean
-
Something like that, but if I fold them under the shanty then they would be in the way of the ice holes. I'm trying to work out something that raises and lowers inline with the skis. Some 1/2 inch conduit and hinges. Problem is getting it to stay in the "up" position. This is what I like about making my own stuff, it's fun working out the details.
-
what if you put them on the side or maybe a set up like a quick dismount when you get there and set it to the side
-
I got a Cabelas "build your own floor" model for Christmas a few years back. The floor design is similiar to that of the one you built, Mosely. The thing is huge, 5 by 5 and you can stand up in it, but with the weight of the plywood floor and by the time I added my own supports (to last longer then the Cabela directions had in mind!) it is a little heavy across the snow. I bought two kiddie sleds and built a 2"X4" box across them so the shanty would fit snug over the sleds.It's the kind of shanty to tow with a snowmobile or to drag when there is no snow on the ice. Not bad for the price though. One regret of the floor is that I wish I would have put spearing sized holes in it and not round 10" holes. I could change it I guess.
-
didn't you have that setup out on Gull Lake smelting, when we kinda bumped into each other swampbuckster?
-
shallow unistrut and (4) 3/4 " clamps. Make 2 "ski's" out of 3/4" conduit the over all length or width of house including unistrut on both ends. clamps will hold ski's in place to unistrut attached to shanty. take ski's off when arrival at destination. ;)
-
RealityCheck, I can't quite picture that. Have you done that before? Happen to have a pic? I was thinking of using some u-shaped conduit that would fold out of the way, but i just can't seem to figure it out yet.
Swampbuckster, I weighed my shanty last night, it's 89 pounds, shanty only!!! I have zero problem on ice, but get about 6 inches and we're talkin heart attack trying to pull it out. My big mistake was making it out of 3/4" plywood, wish I had gone with 1/2". I think I may start taking it apart and cutting down some of the wood I used. Instead of using pieces that span the length of the shanty I will turn them into corner blocks. The thing is built like a brick crap house.
-
sorry I have no pics. I know it will work.....hell I will come bend the U shaped peices of conduit for ya. :D unistrut is a metal channels that is used to anchor conduit to the wall or on a rack. It is usually painted green...but you can get it unpainted also. They make a special clamp to hold the conduit to the unistrut. you can find all the parts I am talking about at a electrical supply house. ;D ;D
-
Unistrut - is it like a u-shaped channel that you could use to run several vertically (or horizontally) mounted counduit runs? I think I know what you are talking about, see it in commercial applications. I will look into that, good idea! Do you think 1/2" conduit would be ok? I only have a 1/2" conduit bender.

Fish Finder you the bomb Eskimo 111 for me.

yes you can use 1/2 inch......I just like to beef things up.

built it this year......first shack...it's 5x8 nice and big just weights a bit more then what i was hoping!
-
Mine is a variation of the classic "Ontario" design. The goal was to make it as light as possible, so it's skin is 1/8" Luan, and it weighs in at about 60lbs. The first version of this, was with 5/8 plywood, but it was just to dang heavy. I added the raised box so all my gear will stow inside for easier transporting.

yeah dude, i can't really imagine myself icefishing more than i already do, but if i had a shack like that, i think then that i would probably work something out somehow... :D

heres my first shack (used to belong to my grandfather). it works well, and is portable, but sleeping in it for ellpout festival is difficult (beleive me..... we did actually try to).
so.... we decided to build this.

it will sleep 4. two single beds and a double
8 holes
12v and 110v

Cheers to winter coming!

I bet its TOASTY in there with the stove going :o :o
-
oh yeah it is!
I went to a 4" stack on the stove this year to get the wood to burn a little slower. Plus I'm putting a window in the back wall to get more air in there.
-
Figured, my stove in my 6x12 is half that size and it will run 120 degrees in there if you aint carefull.
-
Good Lookin' Shacks Guys ;)
I'm in the process of rebuilding mine.... Figured I'd check out some others to make sure I don't forget anything... :D
Someone always comes up with something you might not think of ::) :)
-
well.... got mine almost finished this past weekend. we built a "futon" that leans against the wall, then folds flat for a double bed. built two bunks in the back. carpet and trim.... all thats left is to mount the speakers and get some window coverings.
what do you think?

I did. It's a rubber coated nylon I picked up at a fabric store. The windows are thick flexible plastic sewn in.

The slider windows is a great idea. I know a lot of guys take them out of trucks and replace with a solid. Way to recycle!

Cool Blue... That's one sweet looking shack man! Clean! I salvaged some tinted plexiglass 'bubble' windows out of a discarded pickup, but they are pretty scratched up so I decided not to use them.
You did a superb job in your design and construction! WTG!!! :thumbsup:
(I especially liked the door handle)

NH trout fisherman:
do you take the wheels off to put it on the ice?
i have a similar looking house, but dont/cant take the wheels off so i need alot of snow to bank up, or i need to figure out a way to seal off the gap between the house and the ice if there is not much snow.
any ideas? how are you solving this issue?

Hey Fish wiz,
We actually just use ours as a shelter and sleep in it during derbies. I pull it right out onto the ice with a 4 wheeler and put jack stands on the corners. I don't leave it in any one spot for too long and try to be sure to tend to it when the snow/slush builds up.
My buddies Dad has one built very similar, He jigs out of his and has used a 5 gallon bucket with the bottom cut out to place over the holes and act as a sleeve. He also tried round duct-work in the past. As far as the gap underneath He has tacked luan around the base to act as a skirt and block out snow drifts.

looks like everyone has some awesome shacks.

Fishwiz4, If you would hang canvas or a vinyl skirt off of the bottom of your shack (or trailer) your heating problems would greatly reduced. Cheap and pretty easy to do. Same principal as on a flip over. Bank snow on the skirt and I think you are good to go. :tipup:

i actually made a skirt out of a heavy duty tarp, but it was very difficult to attach to the hosue in the wind and cold. i ended up just throwing it in the garage, and shoveling snow as far under the house and up the sides as i could. this way, when i drill my holes, i have an entire tube of snow down to my hole. it works reasonably well, but i do get some freezing problems, especially when it is close to or below zero.
-
I use the buckets with the bottoms cut out, was having freezing problems till i aimed a cheap battery powered fan down from the ceiling. keeps all the heat circulating, not just on the top. i had 2 heaters and the stove going on one zero degree day, but no fan, and the holes were icing. the next day was just as cold, but i used only the 2 heaters and not the stove, but brought a fan and not only did the holes stay open, i was warmer and used less gas. alot of heat stays up high and escapes from the roof, but with a fan, your problems will be solved.

It folds up with heavy duty hinges on the inside. And for the other queston I stapled the bottom of it and the border is 1'' plastic molding for vinyl siding that's nailed on. It is very durable and light weight too.

Hers a few of what people have dubbed the Trump Plaza. 12 x 12, with a wood stove that keeps it 65* in there even at -10 with -20* wind chills.

The BP2 is a Clam Guide without the bench seat. Otherwise it is exactly the same as the current Guide model. I added a framework, storage and seats. Also found space for the all essential cupholders. I saved some money on the initial purchase but spent the difference and more on the modifications. I wasn't fan of the poorly designed bench seat in the Guide.

Nice ;D I highly recommend a towbar if your using that wheeler. It makes a world of difference in how the sled tows. (experience speaking). :D Even if you put two pieces of PVC pipe on the tow rope it will help enormously.
-
They guy I bought it from sold it to me as well, they guy had it all done travel cover, tow bar ( still in box) and the runners already installed it was just too much for him.

Here's mine. 6 x 8 i.d. , light weight and with two propane lanterns going inside it stays around 65 degrees.
I added a old Sony car stereo this year with a pair of speakers with brackets mounted to the studs. It runs for a couple of days on a little 12 volt sealed battery before it needs a charge.

Total weight is around 300 - 350#, When it's up on the ski's one guy can pull it threw 6 - 8 inches of snow no problem. It tows really nice behind the snowmobile too !
What is on the exterior?
Those are aluminium sheets from the local newspaper. Had to pull some strings to get them. The sheets are riveted together and then we used that metal/foil duct tape on the seams.
Too bad we had to pull it off the lake last Saturday due to the warm front..... This weather SUCKS !!

Worked on improving my shantymy HT Arctic Express a little today and also doing a bit of garage fishing.
Mounted a seat to a cooler and a better way to carry the IceGator.

Pic from the other side. Used bungies to hold down the auger. The back of the seat had two screw hole locations molded in. I mounted a spring loaded clip to hold the auger in place.

Can store my underwater camera and other stuff inside the cooler. But too short for any fishing rods. The Groove Rod holders are awesome.

A few pictures of some modifications done this year, plus one of her getting the job done last year with the wife. So far, I've been more than happy with the shack. Hauled 5 guys plus gear across the lake, cut the wind, even had it out once @ -46F and was still a balmy +50 with a sunflower heater. Back home in SD I had a buddy buy a $700+ Clam that was the same size and started to tear apart within a year. This ol' girl is sturdy and built like a brick house...only problem is that she weighs about as much as one.

8' x 8' (semi?) portable. Easily pushes onto a tilt deck trailer or can be pulled by the Alpine in snow up to 1.5'. Snow starts to pile up in front if the snow is too deep, but a snow dam and wider skids may take care of that.

Here is "The Dog House". My wife made me name it that, but I figured that was a small price to pay for her letting me get it! We bought it as a shell, with just the inside walls paneled. We added the ceiling, trimmed it out, made the booth, table, shelves and added the TV, stereo and furnace We can also haul our four wheeler inside and get out a little earlier in the season.

I followed your build thread, a work of art most definitely. I have a few constraints on the design that makes it tough to keep the front up. The holes are cut in the center of the shack, so a full length skid through the center is out. Then the shack rides on a 5' wide trailer with raised fender wells so skids on the side are out as well. I'm thinking a toboggan front like yours that is 5' wide and only extends 2-3 feet under the shack may do the trick.

Going portable 8 years ago was the best ice fishing decision we ever made. Now we can fish all over the Northeast. :thumbsup:

Sorry for the cell phone quality picture's but its better than nothing I suppose. I love this shack its easy to move with a couple guy's and a truck and being insulated with 1.5" foam from top to bottom this thing stay's toasty! I was planning on putting a wood burner in it but I cant even keep my buddy heater on low without cooking myself out of the shack, so I will probably just set it up so I can run my bottle from outside.

The playing goes on!! Just swapped out all the lights inside with LED's from ebay, WOW what a change, battery doesn't even show a needles worth of voltage going out now!! Piped in a LP Humphreys lamp for additional light/heat. Wife made new slip covers for the bench and beds. (Thank you warn a bit dollar store!!) Caulked and retrimmed all the outside gutters and gave the aluminum a quick polish. Installed 4 home made pvc rod holders. Insulated inside all the cabinets and storage lockers and also screwed 2 inches of foam with aluminum covering on the entire bottom and then undercoated everything!! What a money pit!! But she's gonna be cozy for sure!!!

Where you going to be this year? I'm currently down by north-shore landing. But I'm going to move it today. If you see my shack with the Packer flag flying stop in. (If the flags out that means I'm home)

The floor
(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/kilbrethj/phone2029.jpg)
The floor with plywood laid on top
(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/kilbrethj/phone2036.jpg)
Plywood going on
(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/kilbrethj/phone2076.jpg)
Plywood mounted and runners mounted. 8' wall is built but not mounted
(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/kilbrethj/phone2082.jpg)
It is 8'x10' with 2x4 floor 2x8x12 runners screwed together, walls are 2x2's screwed and glued. That 8' wall was suppose to have a window going across it untill I saw the price of plexi-glass. Walls are 6'6" tall and it will have a pitched metal roof and 110v wiring throughout with lights and outlets. Going to be heated by a homemade woodstove. What is everyone using for the floor? Carpet? Paint?
-
Joe6, A buddy of mine used spray-on bedliner. Don't know what it costs, but not a bad idea, eh?
-
... What is everyone using for the floor? Carpet? Paint?
Don't do carpet. When it gets wet...it takes a while to dry out. Paint works best, drys well, is easy to maintain and, if you wear "creepers", it is a must. Consider how much "traffic" you will be getting. We are in-and-out of our 6x8 a lot during the day and also use it for overnighters.

Here mine is where it has spent the last three winters. Too much snow on the ice. :(
-
I think I'm going to use that rubberized undercoating stuff. Cheap and should offer decent traction. I wanted carpet but it will definately take a while to dry out. Shacks going to be painted blue with silver trim and a big budlight logo on each side!! haha Thats just how I role! Probably going to work on it tonight. I still need to build another 10' wall and the 8' wall with the door in it. Then the roof and then put the luan skin on! That wont be till next weekend though. I'll get somemore pics up as I build it. Thanks for the ideas guys!!

That's what the snow plow on the front of the truck is for Dawq! Plow you a road on the lake!
-
You got a nice shanty there Dawg, and Mainedawg i thought about plowing a road on the lake with the snow blower. Makes it easier to move and drive stuff out and walk.

If I had a plow on the front of my truck I would have it made for ice fishing and a ton more of friends. ;D
-
Good idea. You got a truck and a snow blower you can use that.
-
I should put a plow an my ATV and git-r-done.

standard procedure a few lakes around where I fish. Folks plow a road out to the main part of the lake and try to keep
the road open. It helps the ice form/stay hard by keeping the snow off, and makes it easier driving to/from all the
shacks they put out. A regular little ice fishing town of shanties. Not all bunched together mind you, but creates a
fun social atmosphere at times. Hop on your sled or atv and go visit the neighbors to see what they're catching or not.
Maybe have lunch or breakfast at a friend's shack, share some beers, etc. Folks with the trucks and plows seem to
take turns.
-
I don't have a shack yet. Only my Clam pop up.
But I have a shed full of lumber and a girlfriend thats going out of town on business all next week. She might come back to find a half built shanty in the garage.

I like to keep em light and simple. It is done in gel coated fiberglass and weighs 1,520 lbs empty. Pretty bare. One bunk on top of a large storage box, six holes and a 15,000 BTU direct vent heater.
-
Eh Dawg, i am using that thin plywood dont remember the width. But i have light weight 2x4 for wall struts and a hardwood composite inner wall with foam insulation. Its like a small house.

Mine is 2x2 wall studs on 16" centers and waterproof FRP paneling for the walls and ceiling. Very easy to clean and keep clean.

They tried that on my local lake last year with a fairly new F-350 w/ a 10' fisher plow. They definately should have waited until there was more than 6 inchs of ice though ! :woot: :pinch: :roflmao:

NH is still too far south for me.....wonder what the insurance company thought about their off road plowing.

Claim Denied, Idiot Clause invoked !! :woot: :roflmao:

I don't know if you guys heard about it or remember it, but a couple years ago a county employee somewhere in Minnysoda sunk a large loader belonging to the county while plowing a path to some ice shacks. I wonder if he found another job yet. :o ;D

Cool shack TM.
This is pretty close to the design I was thinking for my micro-shack build, with the waterproof fabric. (or is that tarp you used?) Mine would be alot smaller though and Id use wood 2x2s.

you guys with the big single pane windows.........what do you do for when they sweat?

I keep a couple cut up T-shirts as window wiping rags handy. Wipe veeerrrrry slow.
Sucks wiping but I'll never go with plexiglass again, it sweats just as bad but never seems to be totally clear of fog.
Wood heat would be better than propane too, but thats all Ive got.

Yea, each year they get complaints. My record is 100 in 2 days at the PD. Seems folks over the age of 60 have a problem with it, and folks under the age of 60 don't. (around Bristol anyways).
Nothing you wouldn't see on the beaches...... (of Brazil). I'm trying to get something going in our area, hoping it might catch on. Planting a seed. Trying to spread some sunshine on the lake. I know it makes me smile and feel good. Someone's gotta get the ball rolling.....I'm here to help.

I remember the day. Doug and I had the doors open until the sun went down and then we closed them and turned on some heat. I would absolutely love to get it back on the ice. Maybe this will be the year it gets out again.

A guy on worthly pond up here in maine put his dump truck through the ice a few winters ago. He has a huge shack with couches and recliners, a bedroom and direct tv. Drove out on the ice in his dump truck one day and she went through. Thank god it was only about 2 feet of water. He had to use a chain saw to cut all the ice out to shore and then pull it out with a buddies skidder. After that one of his buddies spray painted "Ice man" on the back of the truck. He was still using it up untill he sold it, or the bank took it.

Trebmaster thats the first shack like that I've seen so far using the shed kit.....Looks like a great idea!.....Hope its solid enough for the highway. If you didn't have far to go it would be even better. Nice work.
hauled it home from lowes assembled on a trailer and it hauled real nice 55mph and no problems
-
Always thought of trying one of those pre-made sheds Treb, let us know how it works.
-
set up for this winter now all i need is ICE
What's the weight on that guy? Just curious.

sweet!!!! Does plastic sweat when it gets warm on the inside? I thought about doing this once but didnt think it could handle getting trailered..Keep us updated! Be sure to anchor that thing down good when you get it on the ice.
-
it does sweat alittle but its all plastic so it doesnt matter. this one was on the shelf at Lowes assembled on a pallet so all we had to do was put in windows and holes in the floor. mr. buddy heats it up just fine.
-
Id re-think the tow rope eye placement, it will surely tear out in deep snow like that.
A hitch system of some kind would be ideal.
-
Really think it would tear out ?? Ive pulled a lot with screw in eyes. Never had one pull out once there seated. Bent yes but that was just beacuse i was going to fast pulling a load of logs out of the woods with my wheeler and caught a stump.
-
You might want to consider putting a brace of some type between the runners where your I-bolts are located. The 4x4's are going to want to toe in on you when you are pulling it and you could bust the 4x4's... I learned this the hard way a few years back...
Nice idea and great looking shack.

Yea you should put some type of bace on the skis. Unless you have it bolted on really good.

JIGGIN....That shack is awsome...... :roflmao: :bow:

Sure enough the ends of the 4x4s will split.
Ive pulled out eye bolts when the snow is deep, and I olny have 3 and a half inches of clearance just like Treb.
-
Well fine then be that way lol.
Id love to put a hitch on mine but dont know how and have the $$ to doit either.

You can fabricate one out of conduit pretty easy Ive heard.
Im going to rig up one myself after this winter.
-
Here are a few more mods to add to the list of what is possible. I am on foot exclusively and have to pull over icy and deep snow from time to time. life is a lot better now. Thanks to this site I have learned the answers to questions I did not even know existed.

Montana_Ice,
How does the sled sit with the power auger hanging off the side? I want to add a mount for my IceGator. It's heavy and I am concerned the weight hanging off the side might cause the sled to flip over sideways.

jbird68 I have the jiffy model 30, 10 inch auger and it weighs a ton and is really awkward to pack on or in the single man ice house. I feel your pain!
The power head does hang a little off to the side, but there are no problems up higher on the skis, or down low on the ice. The only thing I would say is the auger needs to be bungee corded down to reduce the possibility of catching a corner and ripping off the fork holder. Make sure that you have a three point triangle when you bolt off the holder to keep it from rocking and tearing out the plastic back. I reinforced the back of the sled with a scrap of plywood.
I hope this helps!
good luck!

I have acquired a travel trailer 1969 Vacationaire. This is the only picture that I have found that is just like my trailer. Can you post photos of the back with the word vacationaire on it and maybe a few more of the inside. We haven't been able to find out any info about this travel trailer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Sweet! Home away from home.
-
I think I'd feel right at home in that!!!! Nice shack!!! ;D
-
That's one sweet shack. Be great for a weekend or more on the ice!! Quite a lot in 16' of space so you don't need to go outside to change your mind!! :woot: :thumbsup: :clap: :flex: ;)2 :bow: :whistle:
-
Ya looks like a good setup. I like the amount of storage space there is in it too.
-
Now that's roughing it! Nice...
-
Great job on her Slick, you've got an Awesome shack right there !! :thumbsup:
-
She's a dream for sure!! Still use my portables during the early and later part of the season, but this is really nice for extended stays, we usually go for a week at a time up to Mille Lacs in Minnesota, have survived -35 temps as well as +40 as well, shorts, T-shirts and bare feet is the clothing of the day!! Fishes 3 comfortably, 4 in a pinch, I've got 3 holes near the front and 1 to the rear, usually have the Aqua Vu camera down the rear hole so I can watch the front 3 on the 22 inch flat screen!! :) She Sits a little high and I may try and lower it closer to the ice to cut the wind down some going under it, sometimes there isn't enough snow to bank it in and my hole tubes get pretty frosty, been trying to find some of that portable swimming pool plastic stuff that you drape a liner inside it, the walls of that stuff are like 1/2 inch thick and I could cut 4 pieces and make skirting for the camper to put on once I'm on the lake. Also recently installed a solar battery charger and am looking at a wind generator that uses a single wire Delco alternator, seems the winds always blowing on Mille Lacs!! ;D

Have you thought about using some of that green corrugated roofing material that they sell at home centers ?? Not sure if it's wide enough, but you can lap two together! Just a thought!! ;)2 :flex:
-
Or you could make a skirt out of old billbord sings they are made of like ultra heavy duty material and last forever. They can be found on ebay pretty cheap sometimes and are easy to cut and modify.

That might work, I shoulda thought of that as the roof on my back porch over the hot tub is made of that fiberglass corrigated green stuff, really light and pretty solid.. hhmmmmmm Think Menards might have that stuff.....

Nice shack, but I have questions.
The door opens to the inside and is on the front while towing. Doesn't it freeze shut from the moisture from the road while towing?
Are there holes in the floor? Don't see any in the photo's.
Do you clamp a board to the trailer tongue for a nice step?
Thanks and it looks great!!

i only tow this shack around 6 miles one way to my local lake, once in december, then back home in april....doubles as a summer kitchen/ dog house lol

there are 4 holes in the floor that are boxed out to the ice to eliminate draft
(http://s11.postimage.org/and0gf5mb/IMG_20111130_00343.jpg)

the tongue slides out of a subframe and a mini deck slides into the subframe for a little bit of a landing for wood and such
Thanks and it looks great!!

Last december I threw this shack together in one day. Its 6x8, nothing fancy but wanted something light. Its getting a few reno's right now just to make this winter a little more comfortable. I really miss my 8x10 that I spent a lot of time building but a flood in the spring claimed that shack. :'( but I'm looking forward to next winter because the girlfriend has been wanting a bigger camper so the 18' camper will by my home on the ice next winter and I can't wait :)

We do in Wisconsin....
But doesnt the first trailer have to be a fifth wheel or a goose neck mount for tandem hauling to be leagal in WI?
-
To pull tandem in MI the first has to be a 5th wheel or gooseneck. I can see other places being a little more liberal with that.

You can pull in two trailers here in sask but the first one is suppose to be a tandem axel, bumper/5thwheel/gooseneck it doesn't matter as long as its tandem. But if I'm not mistaken you can also pull two trailers with a single axle in front if its a 5th wheel camper. But I see a lot of people with pulling two small single axel campers, mainly for the Craven Country Jamboree and have not seen anyone get a ticket but things are pretty slack for things like that Craven week. With the small box on my truck I'd be lost come hunting season because I have the box filled with jerry cans and need to haul camper, two trikes and soon my diesel argo project I'm in the process of building. If I couldn't haul both at once it would make for a lot of driving as the one area we head to in norther sask is a 900km one way trip and I would not be happy if I had to make 4 trips to get my stuff there and back
-
I figured they were a little more liberal up there. That makes things a lot easier
-
But doesnt the first trailer have to be a fifth wheel or a goose neck mount for tandem hauling to be leagal in WI?
Not sure. It would make sense if the first was at least a tandem. I know it does NOT have to be a 5th wheel. I see camping trailers with a boat behind them all the time on the highway during the summer....
-
How do you post pictures on here i can't figure it out

wow,what a great looking portable shanty,,,,any way yo cold m me the plans fr that?i have been looking online for a while now and yours s exactly what i want to build

Here's my set up and I love it. With all the snow we have on the Bay of Green Bay this year the snowmobile is the best way to travel. I just bought the snowmobile this year, it has electric start and reverse SWEEEEET.
This is my 3rd flip shanty in the last few years and it's the one I like the best, well built quality shanty.
It's heavy with all the gear inside so pulling it by hand, not a chance. I do have a Tip Down Shanty I use when the conditions are right.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those brackets to hold it?
I am looking to do the same on my jet sled.

Here is my 5x8 wood stove heated permy. Just took it off the ice last weekend so I could enjoy the last month of the season without worrying about getting this off after someone breaks up the launch area ::)

I like it! Who needs all the stuff they throw in an Ice Castle anyways! Did you make that stove? I kind of have a wood stove problem.. I like to make them myself, and lots of them :-\

i like it simple really, not one for having more then i need, and my father welded that up years back and it just sat in the shed.

I agree. Nothing better then staying out on the ice for a few days!

Here is my personal sized hardside ... perfect for one fisherman but can fit two if necessary. For larger crowds I utilize my Ice Cube hub and/or another larger hardside.

Thanks Mainedog. The floor is 4 ft x 6 ft and there is just over 6 ft headroom. I can load it myself into my pickup truck (standard box) and close the tailgate.

What's the weight? And how did you insulate the roof considering the "hip" to it?

What's the weight? And how did you insulate the roof considering the "hip" to it?
Not sure what the actual weight is but I can lift one end onto my truck tailgate then lift the other end up and push the whole shack fully into the truck box.
As for the ceiling, the insulation is 3/4 inch styrofoam that is somewhat flexible. It was too cold to apply adhesive during construction outdoors this fall so that is held in place with a length of 1/4 inch plywood which seems to be working nicely so far.

Thanks DD, I'm building myself a house with the exact same dimensions, that started as a canvas covered Ontario style, and I thought about doing the same thing with tin to cover mine. But I was concerned about weight.
-
The tin definitely makes for a light yet very durable and rigid structure. I'm very happy having gone that route!
-
I'll be definitely doing the exact same thing for covering my shanty!

After looking at these pics i think I'm going to build another permy this summer.
-
It was modeled after a michiana shanty. It was at 5 ft high i added a foot and hate the way it sets up. I'm going back to 5 ft high, I'm short so it's no big deal. I had 2 x 4 runners on the the bottom and took them off to lighten it, it weights well over 200 lbs. It glides good across the ice on just plywood. Didn't get a chance to try my smitty sled on it, maybe next time

Here's my 6x10. Works great for 2 people, 3 is a crowd and 4 is too many but we've done it. Building a 6.5x14+V. Hope to have it ready next season.

How long is the bench?

Nice shack CaseySD!
How long is the bench?
The bench the kids are sitting on is 30"x72". It folds up to the wall. In the top of the picture you can see the bunk on the back wall which is also 30"x72 and also folds up flat to the wall. Most of the time the bottom one is folded up and we just sit on lawn chairs or pails.

Nice shacks!
