Tell everyone your portable shack set-up!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to begin with welcome to 2017! Hopefully the fish are plenty and the weather gorgeous.

Hopefully this thread gets hits! When I was setting up my shack I wish I had some input on some accessories, placement, lighting etc…

I’ll start with what I have now;

Clam Themal X two seater. (It can fit 3-4 depending size of person)

I have the clam 3-pack led lights placed in thirds on the face of the shelter. What I mean by this is if you sit in the seat, the light is in between your legs on the hole and there is a center light where the cup holder accessory is placed. All lights are about 8 inches off the ground and make for a good ice illumination without shining directly on the hole.

Another thing I have is a Coleman lantern hanging from the center beam. I didn’t want to do another led setup because the light would eventually strain my eyes. The yellow light of the lantern is great for a natural type of light. Not to mention it helps with adding some heat to the shack.

Speaking of heat, I use a big buddy with the quick connect hose. I place a 20lb. tank in the shelter so it doesn’t freeze outside in the cold. (In Ely it’s not hard to freeze the tank)

I have some protection on the bottom of the shack with the clam sled-pulling skids. They remind me of hifax for snowmobiles. So far they have worked great and they let the sled track nicely behind me or the ATV.

I hope this starts the thread off niceley!

Happy New Year everyone.

I have a 1992 Fishtrap Pro for early and late ice. I removed all the metal for the seat and replaced it with 1/4 inch plywood and aluminum angle iron to cut weight. Also cut a hole in the plywood that my 5 gal. bucket fits in to sit on ans put fish in,it give me plenty off room. Clam light bar and Colman Force 5 heater. I did replace the top with a Inslated one.

My big house is an Otter XT Pro 1200 with a Clam light bar, Otter rod holders, hyfax, pivit hitch that I pull with my atv.

I also have a Otter XTH Cabin hub with a homemade LED light.

My hope is that when my time comes my wife doesn’t sell all my stuff for what I told her I paid for it.

I have an older Otter Resort. I bought from an older guy quite a few years ago and he only had one seat in it, one that did not come with it. Still have that one then got a Eskimo seat from my buddy and mounted that on a aluminum bracket that I made that is similar to the ones otter makes now. Canvas is old and getting in rough shape. Hope to replace that in the next year. Have the hyfax and tow brackets/bar. Got the clam light bar last year and I highly recommend that. Lights up my big shack great

Otter xt pro 1200 cabin. Hyfax, hitch, tow bar for the mighty honda 200s to pull. Also the best accessory sportsman caddie. I have big buddy heater. Regular buddy and Mr heater cooker style sun flower. Great house.

Tomorrow will be second outing with Eskimo EVO1. So far so good.

Wild one 2 man flip over and Otter lodge hub.

Since 99 percent of the time I fish by myself I use a Eskimo quickflip one with a three pack of clam sled lights and a LED light bar on top I have the sled all divided up into spots for a bait bucked, rod case, humminbird, auger, and seat and a little buddy heater
