Short lady putting up a hub shanty

(1/2) > >>

AspensMom352:
I am 5'0" tall & plan to fish alone.  A flip-over shanty won't fit in my vehicle.  I have tried the hub-style shanties & can't get the top hub set due to my height & strength.  Ideas???

Miles59:
You probably have a hard time reaching the hub to pull it out?  Maybe try a foot long hook of some type to extend your reach?  Also make sure you have one foot on the skirt while pulling on the hub. Good luck!

AGC:
1. Start with the roof section first.
2. If you will be by yourself maybe a smaller hunting blind will work.

AspensMom352:
The roof section is my only concern & I know that's where to start.  I'm wondering if I could lay it on its side & secure it somehow & pop the top out sideways.

burgerunh:
My Eskimo quickfish 2i is less than 6 feet tall in the center and likely closer to 5'9".  I am 5'8" and when I stand up in the center my hat is touching the roof fabric.  I would think you should be able to reach that.
