Ice Fishing Shelter
Plans for a portable 2 man ice fishing shelter?
I want to build a portable 2 man ice fishing shelter, i have already had two different clam models, and one lasted two uses, and the other lasted one. their quality is subpar , and i would like to build my own so if something goes wrong, i know who to blame.
I dont want to pay for plans, so please dont give me links to websites with that purpose.
one was the the square tent like one, and the poles snapped on it the second use, the other one was the clam 2000 and the hole cover door,cracked and broke, and the zippers on both sides seperated, and will not seal shut now, and this was on the first use. either clam has some quality issues, or i might just be unlucky
What happened to your clams? I've always wanted one of them. I've pondered this myself and I've never had any good ideas on how to build one though. I've seen people use two poles with a tarp in between but it's just a wind block. I've seen people use tent's but you have to anchor them down which makes them not as portable as a clam. If I can have one of your clams, I'll fix the other one for you. There is another brand something like "fish trap" not sure exactly but maybe the other brand is more durable. I know how to make a nice permanent shanty but they're not easily moved. I hope someone on here has a better answer. Good question.
