How do they stand up to windy conditions? It looks like you can pile snow(if there is any) along the bottom edges to weigh them down..but what if there is limited snow cover?

it says there are anchor you drill into the ice for heavy wind conditions. But the thing is how reliable it is to get shipped to Canada from the US.?

I think we bought ours from Cabela's, they are very reliable, honestly though if I was you I'd buy one that folds into a sled they are awesome throw all your crap on it and head out to your spot.

Cabela's shipping is always very cheap! It took about a week, and Yes I ordered on the internet, but I think you can call them if you prefer you can find the item # online and then tell them it on the phone.

Its not that ill have 6 guys in it its just nicer and more comfortable with all that extra room!!!!holy @^*& why are the quick flips so much more expensive than the hubstyle!?

Probably because of the sled and its so quick to set up and take down, and that bench seat in them is so comfy!!!

Yes very. And it all collapses onto the sled.

Never used any sub zero gear myself, the neighbor here in Rocky that's all he uses and he likes it.
No worries!

I'm not sure but you most definitely do want a hard bottom.

You can buy ice cubes from the Fishin' Hole or Wholesale Sports. Both have information on-line about their ice fishing gear.

I am strongly thinking of buying an ice cube if i can't get my shack fixed, 4 man is $290 i believe, two man $240 here in Red Deer. Issue is it would be kind of sketchy in southern Alberta where i do lots of ice fishing, pretty light and lots of surface area. I am building a wind proof one this weekend potentially, if i don't make it south to fix my other homemade on that is, which got damaged in a sudden windstorm last winter by Pincher Creek. I'd say its not a great looking unit for windy areas (i'll icefish days with 90km/hr winds by trying to find sheltered areas, that ice shack would outrun me for sure even behind the best windbreak).
