It's a MONSTER!

I think this gent is extremely excited about his otter monster, he keeps turning back looking at it with a smile every couple seconds. 👍✌️

I love my otter flip over. Can't wait for hardwater season!!!!

Hell I would like this for a Elk hunting base camp. 😁

Exactly what I was thinking. Cut in a stove jack and slap in a pellet feed/wood stove.

That’s a lot of space to heat, good luck! For lighting I use calm LED hub light, it works great.

I too like to indulge in activities and shenanigans lol

Nice shack I would love that extra 2 ft width. . I bought a 7x14 clam double hub when they first came out as I was instantly sold on the space. I ended up using either my one man clam flip or my 3 man flip for the sled to haul it out. So many advantages, easy scouting, flip top bathroom :), or just a place to stash gear you don't want in the hub.

Congratulations on 6K!!! ~FAB~

Thanks for the sub!

For lighting i use led rope lights on a spool and plug them into a similar battery its actually a electric fence battery and it lasts 4 days on 1 charge it also runs a helix 5 ice. So for just lights it will run almost a week or more

It literally looks like the cabelas 8x13 ice fishing tent thermal which i have and its perfect

I just got an Eskimo Outbreak 450i, I got 75sq ft of space and was shocked on how HUGE that thing is. And it is wicked dark inside with the windows closed. And I was really wanting a full door.

Get the pro sled, especially if you get deeper snow.

Thank you for posting this video. I visited their site a few months ago and they give you exactly one photo of the tent and no way to actually get a visual of all the features.

I was looking at the lodge but the eskimo 450 XD is a bit bigger and the main door is open to the bottom. No tripping or ripping.

You can get LED string lights that have a USB port on them and plug them directly into those battery boxes that are becoming popular. I've heard of guys taking them and putting the LED string into a peanut butter jar and hanging the jar via paracord quick and dirty for a light bulb type effect if you dont want to light the entire pop up.

I just picked up a otter cabin I wear it like a back pack and put test of the gear in my sled

Agree. The otter lights are nice but expensive. Make your own set of hanging lights. You can use either LED strips you can hang or the sled lights you put in your JM and gang them together. Just depends on how much wiring you want to do. Connectors are easy to put on the lights. Makes it easy to take down.

I have a lodge hub now and I haven't even opened it yet but thinking of getting the monster or the lodge flip over, I to like space, real grateful for your video, please keep posting updates.

Thumbs up!

That thing is HUGE! For your sled I’ve seen people make a base out of pvc pipe to lift their hub or or auger out of the sled, so it rides above your other gear. Might be a good option knowing you’ll still have a propane tank, camera gear, and other things with you.

You're by the clam Hub lights for 3799 on Amazon use a Vexilar battery you only need in a bolt right onto the center Hub in each main cabin and they both come down run off a Vexilar battery

If you want quick and easy for lights. Spend the money and get the otter hub lights. The clam hub light is nice too. Needs a little mod for them to work with the otter I bolt. Pro sleds are nicer thicker and stronger.

112 sq feet is 8 X 14 not 9 X 14. Clam did have the XL6000 Garage which was the same size as this. Clam discontinues the garage after only like one or two season. the nice thing about the garage was that the one end of the house opened completely so you could drive a ATV or Snowmobile inside.

Lighting, a few cheap auto led light cubes already rated for 12v batteries. Even cheap ones can be water proof and bright enough for an ice tent. If you do it correctly, you can do quick connects and mounts (think UTV bar mounts), that way you use it to light up your tent and your sled as work lights while you set up. Also, bigger tent, more need for a more efficient heating source. On someone else's channel I saw them use a fireplace fan mounted on a Mr heater buddy unit. Fan means a distribution of heat and more efficient use of propne.

That’s bigger than my bedroom lol

How many pounds is it?

I believe it is listed at 68 lbs, which isn't light but in comparison to a two or three man flip over is about half the weight easy.
