good deal for ice shelter

Just bought a Eskimo Quickfish III selter from Costco for $180, it is listed as $200 at http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=10329727

It is a really good price, le baron is selling the smaller one Eskimo Quickfish II for $227

Great tips pickerel

Which Costco? I know the one at Barrie has such a while back

Is Quickfish II available too....$ difference is not much of a concern but weight is

Thanks

I bought it from Richmond

I bought it from Richmond Hill Costco at Leslie and Elgin Mills, it weights 23 lb. Quickfish III is the only shelter in the Costco.

I set it up by myself in the basement, it took less than 1 minute.

Thanks pickerel

Since you are so much into this..

I hear the best way to set up the shelter is to start with fixing the first ice anchor, then tie it to the opposite corner of the entrance before popping up the shelter...this way you can cut down the wind effect while setting up....of course fishing hole(s) should also be pre-drilled  as well, with preferred distance from that first ice anchor

This is also what I heard

But I don't have the first hand info on ice yet

I think if you have gas auger it is better to pre-drill the hole rather than smell the gas perfume in the shelter. Hand auger should not be matter. The shelter is high enough to let you use the auger.
