best 2 man ice shelter

[MuleShack]

I've got an X2 and works great for me. 6'2 and can stand in it.

Suggest going to the show and trying them all on for size and make your decision then. I've found that it makes things a lot easier when you can see and compare features side by side.

I bought the otter cabin after last ice season and can't wait to use it

Another vote for the Otter Lodge, perfect for two and can squeeze three people if needed.

The only thing wrong with the SHOW, is that there is not a 30mph wind and your fingers are not froze, that is another reason I love the flip over, its EASY. I have a good ol clam, and there is no way I would go back to a suitcase.

My vote is for the fishtrap yukon I have had one for two years now and have nothing but good things to say about it. My wife and I really like the seat height and comfort for long days of fish. Sled is super tough and holds all equipment including jiffy drill and 20 lb propane tank.

Fishtrap X2

There is a big Ice ad breaking the first in Mankato, you might want to check it out.

[Kodiak]

the x2 is heads above all the other shacks out there in my opinion.

It has new technology with the pole system and tent material is such an inprovement of the stuff that is out there. The seats are killer, great sled, ventilation, windows, looks, everything you could ask for.

arent the otters about the same as they always been, square tubing, same sled, canvas, low tech, have to buy everything separate.

not trying to start anything.....just i think that fishtrap has improved much over the otters.

I'm a big fan of my X2, set up and take down is super easy.

My mom's getting an r2tec 300 series, pretty excited to pick it up for her this weekend. I can't wait to take a nap in that thing - hopefully frabill comes out with a cot for it. Lots of good options for traps, hard to go wrong for the most part. LB

What about for one guy? I'm thinking Guide then, for the weight/size?

[olski]

TMF if you are thinking Guide check them out at Cabela's they have a screaming deal on them write now. As far as the other 2 man ? I would look pretty hard at the X2. New sled, No metal on metal with the poles, and a big deal to me is the skirt in front of the sled is going to be alot easier to deal with on a cold day than the lodge. IMO

I had a chance to check out the new X2 last night. I thought you guys where nutz for going with anything other than an Otter. I see why now. They are very nice rigs. I like the rear zipper. I can not knock you guys for bragging this shack up.

I bleed Otter, but this X2 really makes a guy think twice.

I think if you're going to get a 2 man go big, I have a Voyager and with 2 guys and gear in there it is just right...Nowadays most of my fishing cronies have their own houses and rarely do we sit in the same house due to wanting to cover more ground, so I was just checking out the otter HSOforum and they have last years den package (house, sled, seat and cover) for $288.95+shipping and tax...hard to pass that deal up. Do they usually get these things shipped out right away, I get home thursday and am hoping to hit the ground/ice running.
