MnShooter Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Which house would any of you take? Looking to buy one or the other for the cold winter days out here in SD. Just looking for insight from those who have fished out of either or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Which model do you have? That's a nice looking house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Carlson Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I believe that is the R2 Tech model #300 GT Fortress edition. The King of Thermal portable shacks. The new R2 Tech "09" Edition model 7080 is something to behold too, it really steps of the game a notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishing for walleyes Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yes it is the model 300.Here`s a few pictures of it out on the ice.The material never frosts up.The only thing that ever frosts up is the sled when your fishing in minus 30-40 windchills.It was well worth the investment for me as i tend to ice fish every weekend throughout the winter.

Aces In The Hole Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I never fished out of a R2, but I am really happy with my X Thermal. You stay really warm in the house. I think either one will do the job. Good choice by wanting to get a insulated portable. They are worth all the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothun Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I had seen both the Thermal X and Frabill R2-tec this year and felt that the frabill was a bit more heavy duty. Ill be buying one tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiskyknut Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 You may wanna take a look at Canvas Crafts line of Insulated huts and skins. The originators of insulated portables and first with the Norpac R-2 insulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shack is so purdy...it don't need the Swimwear Extreme Bikini Team to sell it! But...If they added them...it wouldn't hurt my feelings any....at all...really!
