Eskimo wide 1 inferno

Those of you that have this shack how do u like it? How are the poles do they hold up? Any issues with the expandable front? I’m back and forth with the inferno and the hideout. TIA

I’ve had the inferno for a few years and the poles slide really easy with no problems so far. With it opened up to its widest I can have 2 holes to fish out of plus my locator and mr heater there is plenty of room. It gets pretty toasty in there even with the heater on low. I usually take my jacket off. If it is sunny out you don’t need any heat at all

I did take the expandable front poles apart and ran 400 grit emery cloth over the inside one just to get the burrs off.Then I put some synthetic grease on it.It’s smooth as silk now.

Infernos are fantastic shacks. Perfect for running and gunning. There are a bunch of people that have decked theirs out. Hideout looks nice too

I’ve had a Hideout for 3 years now- love it. I was also debating between the Wide 1 and the Hideout. I have a bigger Otter, so I went that route for the 1-man as well. I like how tall and tough the sleds are. With a Hideout, I fish 2 holes, with a buddy heater and flasher in front and there’s plenty of room. I don’t think you’ll regret either shack.
