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.
