Sears Ice Tent

[WayneChristie]

I ordered the 6 by 8 tent sears has on sale right now, set it up, packed it up and back it goes tomorrow, dont waste your time or money, its a piece of crap, plus would take at least 3 people to set it up in any sort of wind.

THANKS for the heads up can't wait to let my wife read this as she wanted to me to buy one of those instead of the clam nanook that i'm planning on buying

[nicemustang]

HAHA...yep had one of those once. Wayne, can yo imagine setting that up in today's wind? LOL. YOU NEED ANCORS in Alberta.

[WayneChristie]

might be a good thing to open it in this wind, I could get a free flight to Manitoba and go fishing for catfish!!! :D cant believe they give you some little ground pegs, what do they expect you to pound those into?? its a frikkin "ICE HUT"!!!! :lol:

Be careful or you will get no clam.

Be even more careful than that, or the clam will get YOU!

I had one of those given to me, used it twice and ended up selling it for $5 at a garage sale.:lol:

I do not know what the complaint is??? The sears one works great!! You only need about 60 pounds of lumber to keep it planted in the wind plus your kit. and the kids love tieing it to the sled when the wind is up to drag them across the ice. Plus it is nice and bright inside so you do not have to worry about looking down the hole and dreaming about all the fish who swim by your hook with out biting!

:evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:

I had one it made 20 minutes on pigeon ripped in half in the wind pure garbage.

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, the poles break real easy too!

I ended up sewing strapping onto the sides of mine, then used tie downs and home-made ice anchors to secure the thing to the ice. The ice anchors were pretty sweet though; just drill a hole in the ice 8" down, drop the anchor down, and it will hold against any sort of Southern Alberta wind storm!

Hey Chris. Not sure what happened. I buy all my ice huts at
Sears, the Bargain Store, the Dollar store, and Fields and have
not had any problems.

looks like the same one Cabela's has for 299. good deal!

[WayneChristie]

got my pop up from Cabelas yesterday, the sears ice tent isnt even in the same class as this one. Way easy to set up, comes with 8 deluxe ice anchors and ropes, and even fits back in the duffelbag when you pack it up with no fuss. for the difference in money, this one wins big time over sears. Floor space in this 2 man one is 5 foot by 5 foot, so you could fit 3 if you had to , lots of room for 2 and gear. IM in the process of designing and building a folding insulated wooden floor for this one . :evilgrin:Now wheres the damn ice??????????

isnt that sears one a piece of crap? I figured maybe 4 people and a 26 of rum and it might have been easy to set up, but probably not :lol::lol::lol: like one of the other comments, it might have been fun to hitch to a sled and do some wind surfing or something, but other than that its worthless!!!!

Well i got my clam nanook for Xmas, i'm going to start putting it together right now......see you all out on the water
