Just a quick question for all you people down there. I'm up in Calgary (Alberta Canada) and I'm looking for a flip over shelter. We really don't have much up here, but I would like to check things out in Montana next time through. Does anyone know of some good stores that carry a good selection of flip overs? Maybe if they have a website that you know of that I could check out first for directions, prices etc? I would like to look at: Clam, Frabill, Otter?
Thanks in advance,

Scheels or Big Bear in Great Falls ususally have a good selection of shelters. Scheels is on the east side of the mall and Big Bear is on the NW bypass. Hope that this helps.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Next trip: Great Falls

Hey Van. If you are driving from Vancouver and you are on I-90, you can stop at Sportsmans Warehouse in Missoula. I think they also have one in Spokane. I picked up an Eskimo Quick Flip Pro there for about 240 bucks (US.) I don't like Scheels, because their prices are too high. Big Bear may be a little more reasonable, but I think Sportsmans is the cheapest and has the best selection.

I just saw you are from Calgary. You are only about 5 hrs from Missoula.
-
Yes, but I think Great Falls is quicker? Don't have to do that nasty highway to get to Spokane.
-
Yeah, GF is quicker. You would either have to go through GF or Kalispell to get to Missoula. I was at Sportsmans Warehouse in Missoula last weekend and they had a lot of shanties. I would call Scheels and Big Bear in GF before you go. They may not have much.

I know that Scheels isn't the cheepest, but they have a pretty good selection. I see that they have at least 4 display models out front of the store. I think with $2.00 gas, you will end up spending more than what you save if you travel all the way to Missoula. Its an extra 360 miles round trip.

Scheels, in billings, :tipup:

If your still in the market for a shelter the fold up kind mounted on a plastic sled like the otter or clam. Check with Milk River Co-op in Havre. I looked at the two they had on display, he offered to deal but I'm just not able to spend much at this point for a shelter. (My fishin partner has a fold up canvas shack) I don't work for them or nothing but see you were in the market and thought I might pass on the info. Maybe save you a trip to Great Falls.
