I saw a newspaper article in the Brainerd paper today. I think it's awesome! They make a great product! http://brainerddispatch.com/news/2014-01...oan-application

I was looking at the Garmin Delta Sport or the SportDog 1825. I have two dogs - only 1 hunter. So most of my time with this collar will be spent around the yard for both of them. I like the Garmin because once you switch dogs, it's on their own settings. I heard that SportDog has really turned things around since their first year and have really improved their stuff. What I don't like about the Dogtra is the dimmer dial. Too easy to get bumped in my .02. Anyone have any thoughts on either of these two models?

Glad you like the Gambler. IMHO Ice Castle makes a great product. This video is from a year ago. They do NOT use angle iron. In fact, I think they've even started offering a galvanized frame if you so choose. I have the 17' RV and love it for both summer and winter use and I couldn't be happier!!

So did Chevrolet, Ford, Chrystler, Minn Kota, and company XYZ. Products evolve over time. I'm pretty sure they don't make their own frames and that they get them from a supplier. They're the only fish house manufacturer who offer a 1 year warranty of their product. To me, that's standing behind what you build.

I just watched the video. Not sure how you get "assembly line" out of it. Looks to me like it gets a floor in 1 station, walls at another station and then makes a stop for all the rest of the work to be done. I get a kick out of all the people that say "this is dump" and "that is dump". I don't own one but I've been in a few of my friends. The only real complaints to me where the bad frames they used to use but that's a non-issue these days. To me it looks like they put out a nice product and are getting better every year. I had a chance to meet Jeff the owner once myself. Seemed like a decent guy. He might not have the best people skills in the world, but then again, who does. I doubt he's losing sleep over the fact that Buck won't ever do business with him again. He's a manufacturer and not really a supplier of parts for do-it-yourself-ers. Anyway... just my .02. I've enjoyed checking out all their videos from that youtube link above. Thanks for sharing it Nisswa.
