wally diver Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have a clam kenia, its decent. Not sure what kind of car you have but mine won't fit in my Mazda. I would buy a hub house if I buy another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stark Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 i have an uninsulated frabill commando. its a nice one man shelter. no sliding poles just flip it over. i really like it because you can fish long rods inside the shelter. it sits on a big sled too. lots of room for gear.

Mike Stark Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Missed that you are putting it in a car. Not sure the Commando would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB475 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have the Clam Kodiak. Great one man shelter. Its uninsulated, but a little Reflectix fixes that. I can stand up in it, its 6 feet tall inside. It also has a nice deep sled. I looked at all of them and this one is the best IMO. Flip it and go, no poles to collapse...

broman Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 A Kodiak is too big for a car. Look at the Clam Trapper. You can them at Dick's and if you use a happenings book coupon you can get $20 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH1175 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I am in the same boat, looking for the best one man. I was thinking about the Otter Cottage. I sat in them at a local store. However I want something I can lift in and out of the truck easily. It is a tad heavy and bulky for that. I am leaning towards the Clam Pro TC or Jason Mitchel Pro Thermal. I just don't know which way to go, pro thermal or Thermal Cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 not sure if they make them anymore or not i used a HT polar escape fit in my car perfectly, otherwise i would look at hubs quick fish is very room and fits in a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike79 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I just picked up the Clam Kenai for a good price at FF under 200 dollars. Haven't checked yet if it fits in a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingmeatwad Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I moved from an older Fish Trap 1 man without a door to the new Eskimo Wide 1 and I love it so far.Seems to be designed and built very well. Since its wider in front I can have heater/marcum and fish 2 holes while still able to walk out of the ice house.Let me know if you have any questions about it.

I've looked the Kenai, higher tub than the Trapper and reviews say it pulls hard in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtrap3 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have a Taurus wagon, sorry forgot to say that. I was looking online at the jason mitchel houses. Need to get to to store and check them out, along with some of the others mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broman Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would suggest the Jason Mitchel as well or the Eskimo wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski_otter Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I am in the same boat, looking for the best one man. I was thinking about the Otter Cottage. I sat in them at a local store. However I want something I can lift in and out of the truck easily. It is a tad heavy and bulky for that. I am leaning towards the Clam Pro TC or Jason Mitchel Pro Thermal. I just don't know which way to go, pro thermal or Thermal Cap. Cottage is more of a 2 man, I have the wild 1 (same size) and use it for two people more often than not. I also have a clam scout and really like it for hiking if I have to manually pull it. Wish it was a bit wider though, and will probably get rid of it for a clam pro tc or something similar sized. Scout is tough to fish 2 holes inAlso ive noticed on my scout thermal doesn't matter as much since its such a small area, as long as its a newer one with a door that you can bank. I have an old one with no door and most of the time my lantern heats it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farley Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Clam Kodiak owner and love it. Not sure if it will fit in your car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
