New account, long time on looker on looker. I finally bit the bullet and bought a permanent shack(growing family, portable wasn't going to cut it with young children). Ended up going with an 8x17 Glacier RV model. I was curious if anyone has any experience(don't matter the brand of fish house) on what they wish they would of had for spare parts when stuff goes wrong or a list of stuff that have to be replaced regularly. I have LP and and a fireplace in it, will have my 3500 gen and my Honda 2000 with as a back up and bring my buddy heater with just in case.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

Thank you!

70's this weekend ((face palm))

Well the week has been busy for a short one, trying to get everything accomplished and ready to go today.  Been working about 11 hours a day, but have to hit 40 before OT kicks in, so lots of straight time.  Looks like we have one more trailer to load today so we will see if it all works and I can get out of here by 1 and then on the mountain for an evening hunt.  Been snowing on the mountain since Sunday night with a few breaks here and there, here is a web cam at the top of the hill https://www.wyoroad.info/highway/webcameras/US26287WindRiverLake/US26287WindRiverLake.html. Well it sounds like all have been having  good time and healing up, I know the cabin fever sets in on all of us, best of luck with that.  Dave that burger looked and sounded delicious. Well everyone have a great rest of the week and will report in when I can.  Team WW hopefully the fishing continues for you and the hunting goes well as good.

I am still around, just don't post much.
I'm pulling out all my folding shanties and getting ready for the season.
I can answer any questions you may have.
I built the shanty a long time ago, it seems, but it still works great.
By the way if you spell my name correctly it will show up on the tube
Michianafisherman I live on the border of Michigan and Indiana so a 50mile stretch is called Michiana

Next week I am modifying my two man shanty.

I might do some videos? depends on who's interested.
I'm making it taller to stand up inside and a full length door.
This will make it more stable when towing so a tow bar can be installed.
Also a nice LED light so I can see the small fishing lines.
My fishing buddies are old so I need a one man operated shanty to fish when I want.
Making the worlds fastest folding shanty more comfortable is how I plan on spending my season.

The Shappell DX were the last suitcases I know of, and they axed those last year. I love mine, got it 4/5 years ago.

Used ones pop up for sale here and there. There were a ton of them made by a lot of companies from the 90s into the late 2000s before hubs moved in and murdered the market.

Agree with RonnieD, online used market is going to be your best bet now that they're obsolete.
