Ice Tent?

[Guest]

Ahhhhhhhhhh.....I am having a brain fart here guys? So I need some help thunking this one out.

A friend of mine is looking for a 1-2 man ice-tent that has no floor.

I remember one called the Inst-a-tent...Ahhhh...Port-ahhhh...whatsit...thingy...or something like that but I can't find any info on it.

It is a black tent that has no floor and packs up into a very small package ideal for sledding into the back country. They were tall too, Doug Stange was a fan of them if that helps anyone place them.

Gaseous cranium syndrome has me stumped today Eh?

Thanks,

Ed

Ins-tent Yep I've owned a few of them. Great for humpin into BWCA. Comes with or without floor.

Cabelas makes an Deluxe Ice fishing tent that you have to make your own plywood floor for.

I believe it is at least 6' tall and has room for 2 people.

I know HT has a ice tent for ice fishing. It looks like a regular nylon tent. The flooring is 2/3 uncovered. The remaining 1/3 is the nylon material.

The tent by HT is called the Polar Two-man portable shelter. Shaped like a tent with holes in floor that are cut out. I know a couple people that have one and its pretty afforadable and has plenty of space. Very easy to carry around too.

Good Fishin,
Matt

Surface Tension do you know if they are still available?

If so E-mail me the address so I can pass it along to the guy whom needs it.

He may be interested in a good used one too?

Thanks,

Ed

You can find these tents for sale on hsolist, just do a search for ice fishing tent and it will come up. They have 6x6 and 6x8 sizes available and are 6'10" tall. They look to have a silver reflective interior to help keep heat in. I think this is exactly what your looking for.

InsTents are great. I have one for BWCA spearing, and it is a handy piece of equipment. They are made in Cloquet, so maybe check the phone listings up there.

Is it the Hilllard? They dont have a floor that's why I didnt choose it. I gotta have floor.

I think your talking about Insta Tent like S.T. said. You can still find them in the Duluth area. Northwest Outlet and maybe Marine General. I thought they quit making them but You can still get them. I didnt like them especially the floorless one. Pain to set up in wind, anchor on snowless ice and take down and fold up. For Bwca it might be ok but theres much lighter tents out on the market now. If you cant find them e-mail me and Ill find 1 for ya... [email protected]

Cool. I have a friend looking for a very portable spearing tent. The floor-less feature is what he wants so that is perfect.

I'll pass this along to him and see if he has found one yet.

Thanks all!

Insta Tent was made in Cloquet MN but for some unknown reason they went out of business 2 yrs ago
Proctor Canvas in Proctor MN builds them to your specs with or without floor.
hope this helps
