pak shack??????

It really depends on a lot of factors. For example if you have an ATV to drag a house out I would suggest a 2-3 man flipover. The quality difference is pretty noticable.

I just sold my flip over because I do not have an easy way to get it out. I purchased a clam command post (6'x 12') which fits my needs much better.

I agree with TiNK3R it really does depend on a lot of things. I have the one man PAK SCHACK and rarely use it. It is the cheapest shelter for a reason. I would hold out and get soemthing that is better quality. However, it does provide basic shelter and is very portable and at a low price. Myself, I now use a SCOUT for my one man outings and am very happy with it. I keep my one man PAK SCHACK to lend out to friends, or pack it on my trips were we rent a sleeper. It takes up very little room and I can be more portable from the sleeper house. Good Luck!!

I like my pakshak (1 man) a lot. i don't have a wheeler so it is ver light to carry out. I took off the original strap and sewed backpack straps to it, and then i drag a sled with my auger and tackle behind it. Wouldn't trade that set up for a scout because i can fit much more gear in my sled with pakshak on my back. If you have a wheeler or snowmachine i would definately look at some other options.

I got the 3 man pak shack for my brother and myself. Works good enough I would say if you are walkin out somewhere. Little heavy to carry, but I do like the idea of sewing on some backpack straps. Couple negatives about it though...yes it is cheap (for a reason, quality of material sucks. You can't really bank the front of the houseat all. And if it is windy out, you really have to bank it well on the backside otherwise you literally have to hold it down because there isn't that great of structure at all to it.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to help ya out.

i'm thinking about getting the 3-person pak shack for me and my cousin. is it worth it?

You should also look into the hub style fish shacks too. They are light for their size, cheap, and of a higher quality material. Ofcourse you will need to bring chairs or buckets to sit on. The downside of this style is you must tie it down in windy conditions.

If you are a hunter too, buy a camo blind and pull double duty by fishing in it.

More bang for your buck with that route smile

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
