Easiest Ice Fishing Tent to set up

[Sequoia]

Hi Fellow Ice Fisherman!

I am thinking of buying an ice fishing tent...which tent do you think is the easiest one to set up?..any style? Thanks!

Eskimo quickfish. 30 seconds without the screws.
Which is usually what I do and the kick some snow on the sides.

I think the other manufacturers are similar.

I'd have to go with a hub style tent. I can have both my 4 man and 6 man set up (and torn down) in under a minute.

i have the eskimo 2 and 6 man tents, extremely easy to set up after yu do it once por twice

from what ive read the eskimo tents have the best hub design, hence why i bught 2 of them

How many person hut are you looking at?

My one man flip over is by far the easiest to set up. Drill a hole, sit down, flip over, and start fishing.

It all depends what you would like in a hut. All the designs have ups and downs so it depends what you want out of a hut.

Hey, thats what I've got! I use it as a backpack all the time, it really comes in handy when Its just me carrying the auger and all the gear! I can't wait for the ice to FINALLY freeze up hard enough for me to trek to the middle of a lake and set it up.

Thats why you need to get a sled and pimp it out. I have a milk crate here for you to put your stuff in and build a rod rack and stuff in it. You just need the sled to tow it all with.

me too!. I bolted one of those fold away card table chairs to the bottom of my frabill one-man . It lies flat for transport and pulls straight up when I'm in it. Lots 0f room for gear,heater,camera. I also put 3 polystyrene sliders on it. Really easy to pull now!

honestly, a small hole or two wont make much difference, I stepped on the side of my 2 man , I just sewed it up and no harm no foul. remember boys and girls, cleats tend to go through tent material :bad_boys_20: Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Thank you, and do you think duct tape will do the trick?

I bought the 4 man fat fish and it is awesome. withstood 90kmh winds yesterday.
