I have an old clam Guide that I just replaced the tent with a thermal one.This was the smallest two-man flip over made at the time.I only installed one seat centered on the tub.Now I have a large one-man with room for all my gear. Without the second seat, it's not a lot heavier than a typical one-man.But loaded with gear it can be on the heavy side, especially since I pull it by hand.Now comes in the amazing advantages of using a Smitty Sled.I've found that the best fishing is not always right off the boat launch So I have often pulled this up to a mile or so with no issues.I used downhill skis to build my Smitty Sled and keep the skis waxed with Swix. I also keep an extra bar of wax in the shanty for touch-ups.Of course, when the snow and slush are too deep to walk through I've seen guys use snowshoes with a pop-up strapped their backpacks. Good Luck All
I can’t make up my mind between the Eskimo wide 1 inferno and the Eskimo Sierra thermal. Is one more easily set up than the other? Is 20 pounds heavier going to break me if I decide to not use the snowmobile to pull it? One more rugged or versatile than the other? PLEASE HELP Thank you in advance for any help!!!
Awesome Joe! If you see a malamute or husky pulling a sled before it’s safe to snowmobile on long lake or lake Leelanau stop by! Cold cant get here quick enough. I’m tired of working 90+ hours a week and can’t wait to try my new shack out. Hopefully Elmer’s lets me go back to 40-50 hours (make my own schedule) this winter!
