I too wonder what is the plan???? I have used several but have never bought one myself. We use them to put over equipment when it is extremely cold. They do hold in a lot of heat.

He wants to hang onto it when a big wind hits , put on his skis and go SWOOSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH across the lake like a shopping bag in the wind.:sHa_shakeshout:

Good idea...cause everyone knows the fishing is always better on the other side of the lake

I saw a guy at spray lake a couple years ago doing just this. It was one of those nasty spray windy days. It picked him straight up about 30 feet then slammed him straight down on the snow. He picked up his yard sale and went home.

Greggs distributors sells them, we also use them for equipment, I had one in my old service truck doing overhauls outside, put a herman-nelson at the other end and I was working in just regular coveralls in -25 was way better then being in the shop if you ask me

it really works nice, you have to anchor it . we've fit about 10-15 people under a 65 footer and a fryer for the fish . we parked a truck at one end with a gen set and a herman nelsen to keep it up and warm . it's like a party on ice:thinking-006:
don't try it u won't like it .:)
