Anyone know where I could get a replacement hub for my Polar bird 2T shanty ?

The closest dealer is in Germany.  Freight would be exorbitant.  The pop-ups are made in China and distributed by Polar Bird based in Russia.  The US distributor, Nikolay Krupelnitsky, a young Russian kid, bailed and abandoned the brand.  You would be far better off trying to find a hub that would fit/work from a well known US retailer; Eskimo, Clam, Otter or Frabill.  Take some measurements and make some calls.

I treat my 3T like it’s irreplaceable because it is.  It’s one of the best hubs ever developed (with the floor) and everyone that owns one counts themselves fortunate.  They are fantastic shelters in build quality, warmth and durability.  I take great care to make sure it’s well taken care of.  When I’m finally taken by the Lord, some lucky bast*rd will likely buy a pristine Polarbird 3T for a song from my estate. LOL!

Thanks for the imput.  I won mine on this site several years ago. Used it for the first time this past weekend. I had a hellava time trying to fold it back up. Got frustrated and forced it. Breaking the metal hub. I patched it up in my garage & again had a hard time folding it up. Watched a few videos & they make it look so simple. I finally figured what I was doing wrong. Now if I can remember the next time. It will be easy peezy .

My brother in law has a 2t and a 4t.
4t sets up like a normal hub. The 2t is a totally different story. Tough to get it taken down.
He tried to give it to me... I  politely declined ☺
I wish that I bought the 4t long before they closed shop... :tipup:
