don't know much about the eskimo but the Nanook is one of Clams best selling houses. that is why it has been around for so long. it actually started out being named the fish trap 2 then it became the guide then finally the nanook. the one thing I would suggest thou is to look at the Thermal Nanook(9538). the one you listed is the non thermal model. the full thermal adds only 5 pounds to the total weight and the difference in price over the non thermal can be made up in propane savings as you would not need to run the heater as high or as much as you would with the non thermal. I personally have the thermal Nanook and love it. I use a single burner buddy heater and I am able to leave it on low and it stay warm enough in the house that I can fish in a t shirt and my ice bibs.
