Is it that paper thin nylon junk , or is it thicker like these other tents.

they had one that was really freakin huge!!! and had a aluminum fold out structure that you drape the tent over top...would be very good when you can drive on and the size of the thing would be good for a food/cooking/eating tent for sure. VERY heavy

hmm when you get a chance to set it up, could you take a picture and post it

I bought the same tent! I'm not much of an Ice fisherman so I thought the small investment would be ok to help block the wind and shadow the ice. As I likely won't be using it much it will spend most of the time in the garage. Getting geared up for my burbot quest after Christmas.

I never checked out the quality of the fabric, but it has those fiberglass poles like the camping tents and probally a pain to set up, especially if its windy.

This thread doesn't have anything to do with heaters. I would suggest you start a new thread or search and see if the topic was discussed already.

I had bought one of these a few years back, I'm sure they are the same. It had aluminum poles and the tent went around the poles. It made it a few trip but there was no way to ancor the tent to the ice if it was windy. One day, the wind came up and we nearly blew away. Then we went to spray and tried to set it up in the wind, and couldn't do it. It was cold and the aluminum snapped and it was then useless. If you are going to buy a tent in Alberta, need to consider the elements like wind and cold. These $100 ones won't last, you get what you pay for. If it's cold and windy, don't bother setting it up or you'll be disappointed. Get the ICECUBE from wholesale or fishing hole. It is oly $229 and will last for years if you take care of it. COmes with ancors and lasts on very windy days no problem.
