Portable Ice Fishing Shelter: Hole Cutting

Video Transcript

"So here we are inside the portable shanty. The great pumpkin and I. And just to quickly show you a few of the items in the previously mentioned series clip. These are the frames. These are the snaps that come into place as far as snapping the legs into place. This is your wall brace right across here. And your roof joist which holds the entire thing up solid. Inside this portable shanty you can see that it's a sled that has folded out. And if you look at the floor down here, there's a hole cover which we take off. Set that off to one side and Rudy's going to drill us a hole right here. Notice the abundance of ice that we still have at this point. We're filming this in mid March. The next thing we want to do is clean out the hole. And for those of us who live in the North aren't really affected by ice and cold so no bother needing to use the scoop to get it started. Just use your hands. And the next step we'll be doing on power augers. And we want to scoop that hole out like we showed you in an earlier clip. Stacking it up outside to build a wind break on the outside of the shanty. Just outside of the skirt which hangs out on the outside of the sled. We're scooping ice out of the shanty, out of the hole and clearing it for use to fish here inside the shanty. Speaking of that I'm going to go grab me a chair Bradley so you can show people how the chairs fit in here as well. Great. Thank you. One of the things we do here is try to make ourselves as comfortable as possible. It's possible to sit on ice buckets. A lot of us bring folding chairs."
