Yeh I noticed that too Scott . May be able to get away with an air pig and just leave them inflated in a perma shack but heck what my chisel and power auger will do will more than make up for it . Pricey for sure . Always something new though but not for me either  :-\

Here is a thought...get some of those big balloons with the rubber band on them...the kind you punch in the air.  They are fairly durable.  Just blow it up enough so it fits somewhat snug, then using the rubber band attached to it...pull it out.  Just watch your face! ;D If I ever get my fish house done in time, I am going to try this out, heck they are cheap so at the most I am out a couple of bucks if it don't work! Any thoughts?

A spudbar and snowing them in is much cheaper.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an  well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, A fishing pole in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming \"WOO HOO, what a ride!

They resemble the inflatable plugs used to pressure test PVC piping. The nylon jacket is different, but something else could be substituted.

Very pricey :(

I'm sorry guys but there's only one way to put it, these things are stupid. Did market research actually show that these things would be profitable?

Have been ice fishing most of my life and have never heard of snowing in a hole.  How does it work?  How long does it last?  Do you do it both in the shack and outside.  Very interesting idea!!   Fishtale
