I like to see other peoples designs, gives me some ideas.
-
Here is mine, I built last year cause it gets really cold here in Moosonee. We fish the Moose River, running to the James Bay.
My little hut is designed very light, so I can pull with a small snowmobile, pretty much anywhere I want (I always tow to and from home with my snowmobile - every use - weighs about 300lbs). The wood stove keeps it nice and toasty - nothing like looking out at the James Bay in a t-shirt while the wind blows outside at -40C/F.

So here is mine. We built it out of an old pop up camper and it measures 7' x 14'. We have a 3 burner cook stove and it also has a set of bunkbeds at one end. We call it the "HILLBILLY HOTEL".

It couldn't be a Vermont shack if it wasn't wrapped in Tyvek!
-
This past fall we replaced the roof with some real metal roofing and got it trimmed out and ready for siding but work always seems to get in the way of the important stuff so it will be tyvek for one more season. Next winter it will be sided with white pine. I have a portable mill and were gonna mill out 1/4" pine and do board and batten siding.

How does this hold up in the wind with the landscaping tarp? And structurally in general I was lookin at building one like this or same design with a floor

Here is my 8x24 ice house that i am almost done with. I will be adding the hole covers this weekend along with sat dish and lp heater. Cant wait for hard water to get here. What do you think of my house so far? I have a trailer to haul it out and drop down with, and dont have to worry about it ending up on the bottom!(http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s679/campingonh2o/Ice%20Shanty/0818121901.jpg)(http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s679/campingonh2o/Ice%20Shanty/0827121805.jpg)

That shack built on the pontoons is sweet I love that idea I want a real big shack but don't wanna end up on the bottom also haha I'm going to be lookin for a old pontoon boat thanks for the idea
-
That snowmobile is awesome!! I never thought of that. Might have to find an old sled to convert!
Not so much a hut, but figure it might inspire people and their creativity. Here is my ultra portable windbreak sled:

Nice job horse. 👍
No design on paper. I’ll do my best to describe.
Understand this is a rework of a skid I built several yrs ago. Frame is 1” square thick wall aluminum sized to accept my Cabela’s “build your own” black out shelter which folds down to 34”x60”x 4” thick. Shelter nestles in the rectangular base, 10” Eskimo hangs on the push bar cross member and rest on top of the shelter. Every thing else gets bungled on top. First mod was to ditch the snowboard runners and replace w/ regular skis. Much easier to push/pull. Second mod was a foldout support for the fish finder.
I went into this season not using shelter or power auger, just minimalistic. Once the ice got thicker than I cared to hand drill to find em I started taking the sled w/o the hut. Nurusan’s posts showed the snail used over there. No weight to speak of, so adopted & adapted.
Five 60” arches of 1/2” pvc. Sticks are 10’ for <$3.00. Used pvc elec. conduit sweeps to make the arch. $.78 each.
Cut an aluminum pivot plate (see pic) and screwed all arches to it. Need to leave enough rotational gap between each attachment so they don’t bind against each other through the up/ down position.
3.5 mil plastic drop cloth, 10’x25’ roll $10.00. Cut two pieces 10’x 9’for sides & one piece 3’x7’ for top. I intended to mark all overlap seams and use my Cabela’s commercial sealer to weld the seams, but got lazy and used duck tape, works great. You almost have to tear the plastic trying to get the tape off.
There is one snap in place crossmember that keeps the arches level w/ the frame for transport. Also doubles as a rod rest. Push bar doubles as an outrigger to hold rods when fishing if not windy. At this point there is an open area underneath the push bar. I have a scrap piece of polycarbonate from a greenhouse that I bungee in place if it gets nasty. Otherwise, it’s tee shirt and no wind. I’ll try to post a separate video.

Not finding a tutorial for posting video other than “additional attachments” which I take to be “attachments and other option” which is no help. Sorry.

Converted a 24 foot 1982 prowler trailer to a ice shack , gutted the entire bathroom and holding tanks , upgraded the power converter to a 60 amp , installed 150 watt solar panel with two 1150 ca batteries , 800 watt power inverter , To be able to watch the aqua vue HD on 32” monitor, took out the fridge and used the propane line from it to run the big buddy heater , very convenient , did purchase the trailer with a leaky roof so did repair the roof then totally covered the exterior of the roof with black line-X , went with black to collect the suns heat
