Ice Tent?


Guest

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
