There is a left over SnoBear for sale in town here. Only $25,900. A new model is $32,000. I think I'll pass.

I think the fridge was sitting on a shelf just outside the door.

There are quite a few like that around these parts. The Cabela's in Rogers, MN has a shack with a loft.

A lot of those are used year round. On Mille Lacs the resorts will provide storage during the off season. They will pull them out on the ice and move them for you. During the summer when they are in "storage" they serve as a cabin. Some of the bigger ones might hit the ice one season and then sit in "storage" the rest of the time. Gets you around some of the taxes and such that you would pay on a cabin.

My wifes cousin has a cabin. He had an RV trailer he used for extra accomadations. The thing kinda rotted out on him. His work was selling a construction trailer. He bought the trailer and using the stove, sink and other goodies from the RV he built one of these shacks. It has actually been on the ice once or twice but the main reason was he could have an additional building on his property without pulling permits or getting variances.

The SnoBear looks great if you have tons of time to ice fish. I probably have the time, but I haven't managed to hit Powerball right yet. If I hit Powerball, I might have one on the deck of my yacht.

It is the kind of thing I would buy if I owned a resort.

Ever travel out to a shack in one of these?

Those bombadiers are a blast to travel in. They take you out quite a few miles onto Lake of the Woods. Neat old machines. I think I heard that they haven't made any in quite awhile.

ice dawg, thank you too much. Thats the one. I think i actually seen a bigger one, but it was a prototype that some guys were using and not for production.

These are to cooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooool

If the fishing is bad you can move 5or 6 miles up the lake in 15 minutes without getting cold or wet.
Too COOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

I would sell my fish trap if I had that!!!

The details that I see in the various pictures were well thought out!

- I see house style recessed lights, wiring, and wall mounted switches.

- Lots of storage compartments to keep everything organized.

- Solar/Battery Power (probably a generator to power the Toaster Oven / Microwave).

- The "Creature Comforts" of a TV with Satellite Reception.

It looks like it was built so it could be winched up onto a trailer as well. My best guess is that this guy spent several thousand dollars to build such a nice shanty ($5,000 - $6,000???).

Unbelievable what a shany...Does it double as a hunting cabin in the fall?

stumper · « **Reply #78 on:** Jan 20, 2007, 12:03 PM »

You can buy a shed from most lumber yards that is just like that for less that a grand,add insulation,knotty pine panels are not that expensive, I am gonna guess if he did it all himself ,its about a 2500 dollar shaclk.

The shanty is not mine. A friend of mine sent me the pictures and I about died. I knew the first group of folks that I had to send the pictures to were IS folks. I have no idea whose it is....where it is....how much cost and time was involved. I can tell you this much....I'd sure like to spend a day / night in there.

It's gotta be on a private lake, too, I would imagine. I wouldn't leave something like that unattended on a public lake!

mine old shack had an oil furnace as i hate to go out and cut wood (cut into fishing time) the finish inside was a little rough compared to this unit though !!
