The cylinder rack can be what ever you want like cylinders in a holder vertically with cylinder holes or slots cut out.. or even cylinders in a rack were you take the next avaible full one like that for organizing soup cans in a pantry shelf seen the can idea on pintrest.. ... truth is how many do you need on ice?? This all depends on heater and reg Time on ice like my heater I get 4 hours on a 1 pounder so I may need 4 the hole day so make it big enough to hold 4... do the math and add one eXtra just encase .. is all I can suggest. Just encase your buddy did not bring all his gear and has to borrow one etc etc..
Dudes and Dudettes!Since it is worm here in Minnesota and I don't have much else to do I'm going to build storage into my 1-man fish trap I just picked up. I am going to build a deck inside the sled with cut outs and stuff for buckets and what not. I was wondering if there were any creative ways to store the Coleman propane cylinders. Something other than a basket or milk crate. I am also looking for other peoples solutions to making the most out of their one man house. I am in the process of building a power box for lights and stuff as well. Bring on the ideas and thanks for your help ahead of time. Also does anyone know the Diameter on one of those small tanks?
some have used pvc pipe for holding 1# cans of gas and or to make it hold their heater like the mr heater little buddy system.i prefer to use bass pros heater carry bag that hold all heaters made by mr heater and plenty of 1# cans of gas. it uses a hand strap instead of shoulder strap and made more sense being it only has to go back and forth from a vehicle to sled and back. so you have to grab it and the one that uses the shoulder strap doesn't have the hand strap. keeps the heater safe too.i think if i were to make compartments inside my sled, it would be made of paracord or bungee cord or straps using hooks in the walls to hold them to reduce weight and be totally adjustable instead of all preset sizes. i also use some harbor freight anti-fatigue rubber foam mat on the bottom of my sleds that double for insulation for cold feet on ice.right now it's so full it doesn't need any help holding what i bring in place. the only thing i can think of adding to my flip is a cargo net under the bench seat, but it's not needed bad enough to incorporate one. some of the cargo nets from harbor freight could be used like the one for motor cycles.also, with shappell flips, their bench slides a long ways so having some thing that doesn't move on it's own could be problematic.
I use the Frabill hangers ..work well EZPZ with access to parkas pockets ...I also use a heater bag ...great for keeping everything for the heater all in one place ...some days I don't bring/need the heater so cuts down on the weight on those days. I have a Clam cargo net mounted to the front ...it defiantly adds to storage management ...I store my Mag side baiter shelf and my Grayden Flex Rod Holder along with gloves and bait pucks in the net .
I'm guessing you're talking about the one pound cylinders. To keep them and your heater secure so they don't roll around you can get some short pieces of pipe and attach them to a milk crate with hose clamps or PVC cement and store stuff in the unused space in the crate.
so far just leaving inside my van with heat from every day use dries it out enough. i do use a water proof spray on my shanties while it's warm enough outside to air them out. no problems with smell or rot doing it this way. i have no room inside my home to set them up for days anyway.only time i had issues drying out a shack was my newest pop up that is full thermal. it holds a ton of water. i had to bring it inside and into the bathtub to drain all the water, then keep it loosely folded in front of a heat register and move the folds and unit to get it dry on other areas. they are i big pain to dry out ans super heavy when they get that wet.for lights, you might want to check out amazons line up for smd5050 water proof leds on a reel and a wireless remote control to control on/off/brightness. leave the paper backer on it tho, is servers as an insulator from shorting out i use velcros one wrap to secure them and i install them to the top bar and the front bar, about 4 foot on each bar. i use the same thing in my pop ups and i keep some rolled up and in a small ammo box from harbor freight and a sla battery and just weave a small part of the them into the top supports. so like weave a small section where it first touches the support and tent and then run say a 3 foot length and weave or tuck another small section into it and repeat. works great and stows easy too. good for power loss's too.
Those are they lights I put into my other house. I will be putting them into this house as well. I will also be putting them into a few locations since it nice to spread out lights and be able to work without shadows. I will have to look at the Velcro wraps they sounds a lot better than tape or zip ties.
Unfortunately they are pricey but Cabela's has them or Amazon...https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000SKX63U/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478743801&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX280_SY350_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=5lb+propane+tank<°)))>{
craigslist will have some 10lb tanks on occasion, some might need to be fitted with a new valve, but still cheaper than a new one. I use a 10lb tank with my buddy heater, you can also get a T or Y fitting and run a propane stove and cook lunch while you're fishing.
Any propane distributor will change valves for you, cost me $60.00 to do 2 10lb er's last year and that included filling both with propane

Uncle Almaybe make a box for a compartment for the open things on the right half? it could serve as a table top. maybe use a hinge or hinges for it. another milk create upside could work over the propane tank.there is room to go up with your build all the way around your seat.
