Speaking of ice fishing...

[RANDAL801]

[font "Times New Roman"]I had a clam 2000 it was nice other then the zippers failed etc and left the wife and I frozen on the lake (short trip that day). That was it for Clam. Then I bought an Eskimo Traveller (green) and loved it just a little too small for 2. It seemed like it was made better (zipper quality etc... Then I bought an Eskimo (green) quickflip 3 loved it but was to heavy to haul around by foot, had to weigh over a 150LBS with gear and equipment also bench seat was very uncomfortable. Then I settled with the quickfish 3 and love every second using it. I am concerned a little with the zipper quality compared to the green Eskimo’s (big heavy zippers). One thing I will be buying this year is a bigger sled to haul everything around much easier. Also depends on how much you want to spend. Otter's are supposed to be the best ice tent made. That is if you can spend $1000 plus on one. If I would do it again I would buy Eskimo. I just wish I did some research before buying 4 tents oh well lesson learned the hard way. Everybody has their favourite brand and model of tent; everybody prefers one brand over the other. You just need to find one that fits your needs. Do some research it will make your decision a whole lot easier. I learned the hard way 4 tents later. At first all I wanted was a tent with a built in sled. I would not look at the tents that did not have a sled attached. That soon changed when I found out how much they weighed and limits on what you can haul. Now I will not get one with a built in sled unless I buy a snowmobile. My Quickfish3 is just right for now, it is a little small with 3 people, fish finder and heater but it fits the bill. It usually is only 2 people in the tent. In the future I will be upgrading to something a little bigger in the future. Hope this helps you out, not trying to sell you on Eskimo I just had nothing but good with them, seems you didn’t sorry and good luck with what ever you decide to buy. Just remember to research it is well worth the time and effort also keeps your wallet fat.[/font]
