Home made wind break?
« on: Nov 10, 2004, 03:15 PM »
I need a little help. I have a Shappel tent that I dearly love when with a buddy or two  but am looking for something that I can make and use when I go alone and walk out on the ice with my sled. It needs to be very light, quick and easy to set up and preferably made of clear plastic so I can have good visiblity and enjoy the sun or moon depending on the time. I want to make it myself and be able to set on a 5 gallon bucket in it. It can be open to the front and I need to be able to roll or fold it up for transport on my wooden sled that I pull when I walk out. Any plans or pictures would be much appreciated.  Have gone without one for eons but at my age a little protection from the wind when alone would be nice. :tipup:
Good thing about prisons- they reduce the potential number of fisherman on the ice!

3 poles
clear tarp
staple gun
 

staple one pole to each end and one in the middle   put in hole not deep enought to go throught ice and put in V shape on the ice   

when done just roll it up  ;D
