Portable Ice Fishing Shelter: Set Up

Video Transcript

"Okay, in this series we're going to show you how to set up a portable shanty; quite simple; the sled that flips into place with a couple of rods to support our ceiling and walls. It snaps into place with some legs you can see right here. These legs snap into place on both sides. Rudy, do you have those legs into place on that end? I do; good, and then it's simply raising the frame until they snap. You can hear the popping where the buttons come through. There we go, and then we apply the braces to hold up the roof. Rudy, if you'd like to take that one. These braces are extending aluminum rods. They brace onto the very edges, and then there's one central rod. The central rod is the roof joice that snaps into place between the two side frames. And there you have a portable shanty. All we really need to do after that is to bring the skirt down over the sides of the sled, like so. And here you have a three man portable shanty. These shanties come in several different sizes, one, three, five, and six man, and are very helpful to get you out of the wind in a hurry."
