I like mine. Its servers its pourpose. Heats up nicely, and holds it well. The materal could be thicker. The guard came off the auger and cut a slit in the top. Turns out to work in my favor, ventalation.

Comments about Nature Vision, Inc. Nature Vision Pak Shack Ice Shelter Off:

Light weight, able to carry in to that small lake. Use an "ice screw" to keep it in position in windy conditions, there is a tether provided. Not an otter- which I have also-but with a couple of tip-ups it can be a very usefull shelter. I added ventilation openings so I can use a heater but on a sunny day its pretty good without.

Comments about Nature Vision, Inc. Nature Vision Pak Shack Ice Shelter Off:

when ever u go ice fishing u can count on the wind being there.this shak is unbelievably weak!!just went out for some pickies,limited out!great day on the ice but the pak shak ruined my day!! 15 km winds and i was strugling to keep the shak on the ice.i went to go and get my minnow rod out of my sled when my weak pak shak blew over in 15km winds and lost 2 rods down the hole!!!!2 rods!!!!i managed to hook one by the bail of the reel. extremely lucky considerind i was ice fishing on a local river in 15 feet of water where there is a good current flow.i thought i had a picky on but it ended up being my favourite rod!i would not recommend this hut to any serious ice angler who loves to spend the day on the ice,it will end your day before it has even started!!!! believe me,please.REMEBER, WE DON'T FISH FOR A LIVING, WE LIVE TO FISH!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Comments about Nature Vision, Inc. Nature Vision Pak Shack Ice Shelter Off:

I had LOW expectations. Took it out in about 15-20MPH wind - worked great. Make sure back of chair is facing into wind. Only used once, hardware looks a little chinsey. Carrying bag needs a little help. Some screw anchors thru feet would be key. Paid [$] new. Worth it.

Comments about Nature Vision, Inc. Nature Vision Pak Shack Ice Shelter Off:

We can pack in my jet sled. Manufacture or designer take note: wind is usually blowing and to place a rubber tube in the flip over is insane. Bend a piece of conduit to fit and maybe this may work? I have not tried it yet? you might try to add a piece of spring steel to the braces large enough to slid down to hold the front down.
The company should recall these units and fix this major flaw.

Comments about Nature Vision, Inc. Nature Vision Pak Shack Ice Shelter Off:

Can,t use in wind, impossible. But with some fabrication and about $40.00 you can make it work in the wind. "i live in Wyoming". I sewed in patches of denim in 8 places around the bottom, i then put in 8 3/8in. grometts. I used 8 ox4-15/16
screw hooks for anchors,i also used a cordless drill for pilot holes.
I then made a skeleton frame out of 1 inch pvc.
It worked quit well and was usable in windy conditions.
