Message: <blockquote data-quote="luvcatchingbass" data-source="post: 482113" data-attributes="member: 1979">All mine are older models 2010-2018 probably and have also fished with others that had different brands and modelsI like my older Otter Lodge Insulated but it is heavy to load and doesn't pull by hand all that great if dealing with snow sometimes it can be a pain to setup and take down when things are frosty and I have had issues with it being tippy is some cases if the wind hits it in the back (fixed by carrying an ice anchor, strap and mounting some D-Rings on the side of the sled). Clam Summit Insulated hub house that isn't too bad that I have used a couple times but it's bigger and isn't overly fun in the wind but it gives good room for 2 adults, also heavy and a pain for walking to fishing spots. Beings I mostly fish by myself I have pulled my old Shappell flip over out of the shop, it is a small 2 man (have fished 2 many many times in the past) but makes a really nice 1 man. Shappell isn't fancy with no sliding poles and not insulated but it is easier to get around with, quick and easy to deploy and brake down, the sled being wider than most rides over snow easier and there is plenty of room to run 2 holes, I don't mind the seat system, pretty easy to heat because it is so small downside is you really won't stand up in it but I find that if I need to stand up it usually means I am getting out anyways. They show that an insulated tent is available still and I'm thinking about getting one and making a few custom poles to stretch tension a little better, funny thing is I feel like my gear stacks nicer and easier in the Shappell sled than the Otter, Shappell shorter but wider, Otter narrower and longer.In the end they each have their place based on my needs. Have fished mostly the last 2yrs with just my sled and no house</blockquote>
