Hey Mike no disrespect but if you seal the flaps with sluch then you will stay plenty warm;)

I would recommend a small heater to screw on top of the propane bottle like the small buddy heater. They put off plenty of heat for a 2 man shack if your being stationary meaning camping out on a spot. If I was going to be mobile then I would definitely go with the big buddy heater it takes up some space but puts out alot of heat.

Amos, I agree its been really warm here as well I live in western Nebraska and it has been 50s and 60s all month until yesterday we got hit with 14in of snow.

Dang those are some nice gills we catch them here at a place called Bridgeport if your ever down this way give me a holler and I’ll put you into them!!

How thick was the ice

I’m not, to busy looking for fishable ice the 14in of snow is not going to help much but is a welcomed sight.

Wish we had some ice here just bought a vexilar because my Marcum quit me already and I’m thinking were never going to get on the hard water anyway nice fish and best of luck this season

Definitely get an otter totally worth every cent!!
