In search of my fellow ice anglers thoughts and recommendations. I’m looking to buy a portable hub style 3 to 4 person portable shanty that is sturdy in winds and well built. Please share any recommendstions and feedback. Thank you!!!
In my experience wind resistance is more a factor of positioning and anchoring than of the shelter itself. I think the nicest overall hubs are the insulated clam shelters but they’re pretty pricey.
Another nice thing about it is the windows are removable so you can open them for added ventilation and if they ever crack you can replace them easily. Over all I would definitely buy it again and recommend it.
I've had the Eskimo Fatfish 949i for the past four years and like it a lot. It blocks the wind very well, is nice and dark inside for sight fishing, and is very warm, you can be conformable without a coat inside without a heater running. Yeah it's on the heavier side because it's insulated but it's worth every penny in my opinion. Some guys have an issue with bag being too small but what I did to help with that is I took the straps off an old life jacket and at the end of the day I use them to cinch the tent tighter which gives plenty of room in the bag, you can also do this with ratchet straps or something similar.
