Looking at the FishTrap line

[BowTech03]

I was looking at picking up a new fish house this year, and am looking at Nanook model, but just had a genral question about it. Should I spend the extra 100 bucks for the thermal, or save a 100 and not have the thermal outting?

I just bought the Yukon (non thermal). Using the mr heater on low and need to leave the door unzipped. No problem keeping it toasty. Maybe below zero would be different but haven't had that weather yet. Scott

I am looking to sell my three year old One Man Clam Fish Trap Pro. Not sure if you are interested. It is in great shape and I am selling a replacement tent to go with it. The original tent still is in great shape, but with the replacement and travel cover it will last another ten years easy.

Let me know if you are interested.

In terms of the Nanook, everyone I have talked to says the Thermal is the real deal, but I would say with a good heater you would be fine. Another line of shacks I am interested in buying if I can sell mine one man is the Wild 1 and 2.

Not needed but nice. If you fish when its gets really cold, then I would reccomend it. If you are fair weather, then probably not. It really depends on the heater you have as well.

I bought the thermal for $100 more. My old single man was 15 years old. At that rate I figured $7+/year more cost for more warmth when you need/want it and no condensation was just as much a plus as the cost of the single man clam fifteen years ago versus sitting on a bucket. Still, as always, you are the buyer, it is your preference that counts!

I am looking to get a nanook also and will be going with the thermal version for the simple fact that in the long run I will save on the amount of propane needed to heat the house. Second reason for me is I don't like the condensation you get with a non thermal model. I have a new kenai and if I'm out for a long time it starts to rain on me inside the house from the condensation. It only adds 10 Lbs more over the non thermal version.

What do you guys think of the seats in the Nanook? I wasn't real impressed with the quality of them. I do think it would make a great one man shack and two person if needed.

First off - went through the same decision earlier this year - went thermal and glad I did. 3 main reasons - warmth (I have a 4 year old who like to fish and I want him to enjoy it); No condensation, you don't know how big a deal this is until you don't have it anymore; finally, no wind flapping, have had it out in some big blows and you don't get that garbage bag in a wind tunnel sound.

Regarding the seats - they are better than I expected, but I do not have a particularily large backside. The back rest also provides good support - I have a bad back and used to get back pain in my old house, do not in the Nanook. In any case - it is a standard bolt pattern so you can pretty much put any seat in there including a boat seat.

At this point after 5-6 outings I am very happy with this set-up. Good luck. Paul

Thanks for the info PTocko, I will be purchasing a nanook here shorty. I will go with the thermal also.
