Looking into a shanty

Do they set up the same as a huntingblind. Some of them can be a puzzle to get back together the first few times. I usually fish in my cousins clam flip. It don't really seem like we have a square inch of extra space. Neither one of us are very tall so height isn't an issue. It seems like you may have more maneuverability in the hub style. But with that you also need to add chairs to your load, right?

I never really thought this much into it. I guess I got some homework to do. Hub style would be easier to store, I assume?

How are the stakes to drive in the ice? Tools? Thanks again, with all your replies I read, I am glad I didn't just go buy one without any thought about it.

The hubs are easy to store. About the size of a 4 man tent. I also have the Clam Yukon, which has plenty of room for two fishermen. It is tough to pull by hand, but set up and take down is much easier then a hub style.

I was also concerned with the screws/stakes, but it's pretty simple with the ones provided by Eskimo. Definitely recommend 2 guys to set up hub in any type of wind. Otherwise it could easily turn into a tumbleweed pretty quickly.

Hey Tim, meet you at Pro Bass today. I MUST SAY UR A STAND UP GUY. my son keep saying we should take one of the 2 hub style blinds I have but the staking issue is why I keep saying "We don't need one we are on a pond with ur truck right there we can go there and get warm plus we won't be in the wide open if it's really windy" He's got me thinking tho. Kick some ass tomorrow. Geary
