Portable ice shelters

[TrenPT]

I am looking to get a portable ice shelter. Any suggestions? I have a 5 year old who loves to ice fish and a 3 year old who is learning. Any information, prior experiences would be helpful. Unfortunately, in SE Minnesota, there are few places to put up a permanent shelter. Thanks in advance for your help.

For mobility & easy set up you can't go wrong with a flip over. However with two little kids you might want to steer towards a floored shelter. In the flip over it get's a little colder being right on the ice sometimes it can get pretty slick too. Some guys have made floors for their flips eliminating some problems with them.

With young kids, you want a shelter with a floor, and you want some room. I would be looking at the larger shelters out there.. Shappel 4000 is a 5x8 and probably just about right.

I started with a Clam 6800. It work good with the kids but I picked up a Voyager that I use now. Everything goes in the tub and away you go. Do you have an ATV? the Voyager pulls alot easier.
