That was my first shack. I just bought the Jason Mitchel clam Nanook. I really like the Bigfoot XL. It suits my needs real well and I’ll continue to use it.
Here are my pros: very spacious, low cost, simple enough to move around.
Cons: bear to set up by yourself, hard to hole hop, can be awkward on a sled to pull, not thermal.
All in all I’d recommend this sled to someone who enjoys a spot for fishing, has a group 2+ to go with, and is looking to save a few bucks.
Have I set this up myself, yes many a time, do I move it a few times when out for a day, you bet, it doesn’t hold heat like your home, but I haven’t frozen yet, and I lay the bag on top of my sled and pull. I can work around some cons.
Sorry to hear about the stuff. Keep your stick on the ice!
