The frost guard windshield thing works good.
yep, id rather fold the skirts to the inside than bring some worthless heavy sandbags or log chains..lol.maybe if they were useful for something else but..
My fx100 skirt get pulled inside, and I use the slush from drilling three holes to keep it weighed down...Most distracting post I've made... Lol don't Google "wind skirt" at least at work... <°)))>{
HAHA I will make sure not to google that! To you guys who flip the skirt does the slush weigh it down enough to prevent it from sliding? I looked into the skirt snakes, PS id make sure to google Clam skirt snakes, but didnt know if anyone used them.
Do you put this under the sled to give it traction?
Sliding? To keep it from blowing away? Not enough for me to trust, there are days if my shanty takes off and I want to get it back its a three hour drive and I'd have to stop home for my passport lol...I always set up with my back to the wind, but before flipping, or drilling, I install an ice anchor and throw my tow rope around it.. Then I pull the sled so the rope is tight, that tells me exactly where my holes need to be.. I drill the holes, keeping all the shavings handy.. Once I flip it over, I clean out the holes in comfort out of the wind (always windy on Erie)... Obviously I use my door to get out and stretch....<°)))>{
I always put my back to the wind as well. The ice anchor to tow rope is a good idea!
When I bought by used flip over shanty there were two large eye bolts installed on the back of the sled, which I promptly removed. First time out in heavy winds I realized what those eye bolts were for, LOL!!!
If you look close, you can see my anchor and rope, also the bucket with something in it, tipped away from the wind, on the leeward side of it all...Although if my rig blew away that day, it would have gotten back to the truck lol, of course, the time I wasn't pulling by hand lol...<°)))>{
Tell me about that boat!!
