A girl I used to date 20 years ago bought me a new shanty for Christmas. So we took it out on the ice and set it up. Her Dad and brother set up 75 yards away from us. We fired up the Coleman lantern. The fishing was slow that evening so we decided to "Fool Around" in the privacy of my new shanty. After 20 minutes her Dad walked across the ice to inform us that the Coleman lantern was broadcasting our shadow outline against the canopy of the shack and the whole lake could see what we were doing!
Thats one advantage of a hardside...
