How warm

[brainard6]

When fishing in your house. How warm do you keep it. And how often do you have to repack your holes.

[hamms-scooter]

I use a mr.heater cooker in my guide and I run it on low I don't pack snow on the bottom all around the canvas because i want the draft for circulation. I stay plenty warm with this heater on low. Now when its 0 or colder i bank the sides nd crack open the door/vents and even the trap link zipper to keep fresh air in.

I use a Big Buddy on low or medium most of the time. I pretty muich wear my SM bibs and a long john shirt and like to fish with no jacket. I keep a sweatshirt handy also as I'd put that on before turning the heater up first. I bank the sides lightly with snow, keep my vents open, crack windows often to look at my tip ups and go in and out quite a bit to check flags/tip ups.

How about those of you who have a perm house?

[bak2MN]

68 degrees on the thermostat baby!!

[eyebjim]

I usually keep mine at about 80. I like it to be t shirt weather. What do you mean repack you holes? I bank the house good and then don't have to worry about the holes. I do use hole sleeves though.

I keep the perm at 62 but the thermastat is on the wall so its probably a bit more like 65. Anymore then that and its thong time.

I like to keep it at 68-70, fish in T-shirt and slippers.

[dfv87]

Close to 70 so I can wear my just regular clothes and my croc slippers, yeah yeah yeah I said Croc slippers, but hey are the "manly" camo green ones...

[crappiekid]

im hot blooded. 66-68 important to have small low watt fan on ceiling moving warm air down to floor. I have hole inserts and bank the house. When wife and or kids are along near 76 ! Then i bake

In my insulated Canvas Craft, a Mr Heater on low at the most. I do not pack any snow around the bottom.

If it is warmer than 20, no need for heat in the insulated model as ones body heat will help keep it warm enough.

Depends on what she looks like...

I usually use my portable for spearing so I cover all the sides up with snow real nice and shut all the windows and the door. If it's above 20 I don't normally use the Buddy unless I need to go outside every now and again, then I'll just run it on pilot. If it's 0-20 I'll start it on high to heat it up and then turn it to medium, any hotter and I start shedding all the layers. Sub-zero and I'll crank the heater on high but I usually end up sweating then. I don't really mind the cold and all I expect is enough heat to keep my hands thawed out without wearing gloves.

In the perm 65 I am very warm blooded so if its much warmer I am going naked! wich makes it unpleasant for those fishing with me

[splakeshaker]

I pack myself in and keep the heater on medium to high in my porty. I prefer to lose a couple layers on top. I do keep a window or 2 open though. I like the ventilation.

I like to keep it just cold enough where I still need my coat, but I dont feel cold. Whatever temp that is?

I like to think of that temp as "Minnesota warm"

[Glockwinger]

I keep the wheelhouse at about 62, which is t-shirt weather for me...I'm pretty hot blooded. If I don't bank the house, then I have to repack the holes twice per 3 day trip. Once upon drilling and once before going to bed on the second night.

Agreed - around here, that's called July.

[broken_line]

depends how cold it is outside.. around 80 to 98 is what we keep our perm at. but we run tip ups without coats on.

I would just melt. I keep my own home at 62-65 during the winter (summer is "whatever the lake breeze cools the house to").

Anything over 70-72, and I'm suffocating.

I keep my shack where I am comfortable in an unzipped sweatshirt. One of my friends is always telling me to turn the heat up and the other one will be sweating. I keep it to where I am comfortable and they cav either take clothes off or put more on.
