Ice Fishing Tents / Shelters

[RedDog]

3 or 4 of the guys at the office enjoy ice fishing and the firm has decided to buy a quality tent / shelter for staff use. I have no experience with this area but as I am upstairs on a computer all day they asked if I could take a look around the internet.

I've found this and that but know nothing about them - the brands, decent quality, etc.. They want comfort for 4 men at the smallest. Any advice from participants here?

Thanks

The pop-up clam shell type are the quickest to set up and great for solo trips. But the last few years I've been experimenting with making igloos on the ice and in the mountains and in back yards etc. etc. Nothing is warmer, we've had one 50 degrees inside with just a candle when it was below zero outside. Plus they usually last all season. Just a hint for using one for ice fishing, drill holes first. Here are a few pics using the Icebox in my friends yard.

The next time I build one I will take step by step photos. More info on the Icebox igloo maker can be found at www.grandshelters.com. I purchased mine from REI for around $180
