Title: Is it too early to start thinking about it?
Post by: dubob on Sep 23, 2019, 09:10 AM

I week or so ago, I started thinking about upgrading my equipment inventory to include a new 2-man flip.  My EVO1 has been great and I plan to keep it for my walk on trips when conditions dictate snowmobile use is denied.  Doing some research revealed that Clam has a new product this year that I think will fit the bill rather nicely - the Nanook XL Thermal with the new door redesign.  I've talked to Clam and they told me they SHOULD be in dealer inventories by early October.  I'm checking daily on a couple of websites (Cabelas & Scheels) but haven't seen them as of yet.

I would appreciate information on other on-line sources to check if you know of any that have done you right in the past.  While Cabelas & Scheels may not have the lowest prices on this, I can get them shipped to my local stores for free and the oversize box fee can generate some hefty shipping charges.  Thanks for any help you can send my way.  It's going to be a great year - I hope!   ;D

You should be real happy with that Nanook Bob. I have looked at few of the sites I have used before for gear and have not seen your tent, Yet.  Im sure they'll be popping up in no time

I got my Reeds Family Sports  catalog yesterday... got me going. They have them all, but they charge freight as well.

Tight lines  :tipup:

As it stands right now, here re the prices on the Nanook XL Thermal delivered to my home or a local store:

Sportsmans Guide (SG) has free shipping for Club Members and would be the best place to buy it even with the Annual Club Membership fee of $50.  The shipping fee shown for SG line above is the oversize item fee required by FedEx.  If I also buy the Frogg Toggs breathable waders from SG, that would split the membership fee in half and the total cost of the Nanook would then be $507.95

Looks like SG is the place and with the membership you'll be able to take advantage of things thru out the year
