ice tents

[kinwahkly]

wW as wondering if anybody could give me any first hand info on what would be the best value out there in a 4 man plus tent or shack, my buddy let be boroow his 4 man sub zero tent for a couple of weeks and it was good but sometimes the poles fell out, should I purchase one now or wait till summer, do the prices drop?

thanks

Not sure about prices during the summer. But I got an Eskimo 4 man fold up tent or whatever you want to call it. It was $250 at costco, I think thats cheaper then most places. I havnt had anyproblems with it. Ive had it blow away on me (from bein to lazy to tie it down )and it rolls around but doesnt tear or lose its shape.

That all depends. Are you going to throw it in a vechile and drive to where you want to set it up or are you going to sled it in. I have a shack on skis that has to be loaded on a trailer, can't always take it to other lakes, so I leave it on one lake. I also have a icecube that I can throw in the truck and if I have to toss it in my sled, its a 4 man and only weighs 28 lbs. Not much selection right now left in the stores as my brother is looking for one. Any one know where you can buy a 6 man eskimo? A buddy of mine said he unloaded a bunch of ice huts at the BPS, if you are in no hurry they open in april.
