We went on and bought the 949IG and the last three weeks at Eagle Nest NM have been the very best perch fishing we have ever experienced. My daughter has asthma so having this insulated shanty with little buddy heater has made our weekends amazing. 92 perch between 4 of us (30) limit per license so no we are not over taking , my family absolutely loves the perch fillet’s we get . Eskimo has made our ice fishing the best comfortable experience from a dads point for his kids! Ice fishing gold!

Epic video! Thank you! I have a question. What kind of heater can you put in it? Portable generator kind, or a wood stove? I get hungry, and when you mentioned heater, I wanted to start cooking, or boiling snow to make coffee ☕.

Thank you for your kind words! The heat source possibilities for your ice tent are endless! Personally I use a Mr. Buddy propane heater in mine. I’ve seen guys that modify their windows with fire-proof blanket sections to accommodate an exhaust pipe for a wood stove. I’ve also heard great things about portable diesel heaters as well. Good luck!

Good review but I always do a guy line anchored to the loop on each wall so whichever way the wind blows it won't knock the walls in

Great point! Since I published this video, I bought two extra ice anchors as well as two extra straps to secure the remaining two sides. I’ve been anchoring every side down now when I go out and the wind has no effect on it at all!

Do you know the difference between the 949 and 949 IG? I know the “I” is for insulated but gray interior , does that make a difference between gray and black interior? The gray interior is on sale for $319 while black interior is $369?

The differences between the different color interiors is for spearing purposes. Guys prefer the black interior to have the darkest setting in the tent when they spear fish for pike, musky, etc. Great question!

Thank you for the comment! I used a 1/4” drill bit for my pilot holes and it worked great! I will be honest, I recently purchased an ice anchor adapter from my local Walmart for 6-$7, and it was soo worth it! It makes putting those things in soo much better.

Thank you for the comment! I am in my second ice season with this tent and I truly enjoy it! After having some experience with this product, I can tell you that it holds great heat. I do notice on some really cold mornings, when I run my heater, the walls and ceiling develop a decent amount of condensation build up that eventually goes away over time. Other than that, it gets the job done for around 2-$300!

Nice observation! I’ve owned this shelter for three years now and no holes. It seems that everyone has their own way of doing things. Sometimes it’s better to “care-less” and keep unvalued opinions to yourself. Thank you for tuning in!
