*Great lightweight shelter. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s love how it blocks the light from outside. It was a pain to open the first time but now that it is broke in goes up easy..*
I like how you are considerate of others - levelling the snow bumps, picking up garbage and encouraging the use of carbon monoxide detectors. The world needs more good dudes like you.
Great video! I'm looking to do an overnighter this season. This video definitely helped me out. Your setup was clean and organized. I wouldn't say this video was boring at all. It was very informative and helpful. If you catch fish that's a bonus. All of us anglers have had our slow days so we can appreciate the work you put into it. You carried the video very well explaining everything. It does look like a lot of work. Tight lines!
What a great treat this video is! So glad I stumbled across your channel. You do a great job of talking through what you are doing but not to the point that bores us more experienced on-ice campers. Subbed. Good luck this season and stay safe!
I live in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, so watching these videos are just so entertaining and cool to me!!! My brother was an avid fisherman… I haven’t been fishing since he passed on last year 😢 I miss him so much, so watching these videos just make me feel closer to him. That’s the best, most brilliant set up I’ve seen by the way!!! Idk why some don’t have a floor mat like you, it just seems like it would be so cold. I’m not sure how you’re not wearing gloves 😳🥶 I’m so thankful I found your channel, new subscriber here!!!
Hell Rights that’s a sweet setup! And like you said. At least you didn’t get skunked. Can’t always hammer them, and don’t blame you one bit for choosing a lake that you know has some good early ice. New subscriber here! Keep up the great work. 👍
When ever we set up the shack we stack slush or snow there was no snow here so would drill a bunch of half holes to get ice shavings and pack it around the edge of the shack keeps all the heat in no wind gets in and holds the shack solid in windy times
Great video. Look just some advice. The Mr. Heater Buddy Series are Indoor Safe. Says it right on the front of the box (imagine how many lawyers had to sign on of that one). CO is from incomplete combustion. There are so many videos out there that have done tests on these heaters that prove this. But with that said, I take a CO detector mostly for other people to give them a sense of safety. Now it does have a low O2 sensor on it, that will go out at approximately 16% O2 in the air (21% is normal atmosphere) so well before Hypoxia sets in. They put a lot of safety features in these heaters and when you say take 5 CO2 detectors I seriously scratch my head. There are a lot of misconceptions about these heaters and want to dispel the myths about this very safe heater that Mr. Heater has put on the market.
Yes that definitely can be true. As long as the heater and the sensors are all operating in there should be no issue hence the reason why I use them and I find them safe. But because there has been some deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning in tents there’s absolutely no harm in being overly cautious when sleeping with a propane source. Things can fail and it’s a cheap alternative. I am by no means a scientist but have done a lot of research and came up with using a buddy heater for my overnights.
Very neat setup👍. Honestly, I wouldn't spend my precious night at Shoal lakes for yellow perch and little jack, those Shoals are dead😅. I would rather switching to Reynolds Ponds for trophy trout🤣
Yup thats in the books. I just went there for early season to get it off the list ha ha. We did 14 weekend on the Ice last year so I have a lot of places to go yet.
I live here in New York not tye city but in the southern end of ny and it gets fairly cold but nothing to crazy.. I have a question I’m hoping someone can answer…. I took a trip to the ADK and we slept in the car and it got to 17°f and the car was on before we went to sleep because we had to drive but by the time we woke up the battery was dead…. Is that normal in those kind of temps? Should I replace the battery? How can I prevent this from happening again? How do you prevent it in -°f temps.. and no nothing was pluged in or running (I’m investing in a ‘The Zuse’ from Uncharted Supply Co… that’s what started our car on this trip..)
I bought my son a 105cc mini bike a couple years ago and it’s definitely coming on the ice with me this year when I do over nighters. Towing all of your fishing gear plus camping gear is such a pain in the ass. My walleye honey hole on Lake Erie is about 3/4 of a mile from the parking spot. I usually take my atv but that requires towing a trailer and I think it’ll be much easier to just throw the mini bike in the bed of the truck and go. It makes hole hopping so much easier also.
Hello guys... Exciting video... Great setup. REF Flooring: I've been ice camping for lot of years now and one thing I learned early on was to leave area immediately around holes free of flooring. I found that for most part this allows melt water and/or overpressure to remain near holes or simply to flow under the flooring. Different story with permanent elevated shanties. I've had few floods in my setup.
yeah with early ice its more of an issue. We definitely dont have that issue when there is snow on the ice as that acts like a weeping buffer. Im sure ill have another vid in the later year to show ha ha. Thats awesome that your an overnighter as well. rare breed I say.
ha ha thanks. I am definitely not up to their standards yet but working on it. I just do this for fun so I think its ok. I am planning on getting a separate mic to make sure my audio is a bit more consistent.
I love how every one of these I watch everyone’s looking to have enough ice. And wearing hoodies. Meanwhile I’m up here in -40C hoping our 12” extension is going to make it through the ice.
@@ReelLifeWithMike it's nice mainly use it when I can drive out since a 100ah battery is like 100 lbs. I've camped on lake of the woods in -20f in my clam thermal 6 pack and have been toasty warm.
I’m new to the channel and love it!! I have learned that putting the heater up on an upside down crate helps a a ton with preventing the melting under the floors (I also use the foam puzzle pieces). Cant wait for more overnight content!
Awesome vid. Just wondering if you think the 650xd is big enough for 3 people with 2 rods each. Is there enough room to separate the rods decently. And still not be to crambed in there. If so what position would you recommend. Thx
Hey question for the guy that made the video need a group of buddies are going out ice fishing up north on Black Lake and staying the night how thick was the ice when you were on it staying the night?
nice video and looking forward to your future vids....you mentioned something about a 60 amp...can you tell me what that is or the setup? Is it powering everything?
Thank you. Yeah I have a 60ah amped battery that I use as a back up power supply for lights and live scope. I made a large power box so that way I can use accessories or charges phones ect.
Next time if you forget you spikes to anchor the shelter just cut two holes very close to each other and run the line in and up the other hole and anchor to that
It's like a space station. ANd the screen makes it kind of like a computer game. I would swap out the propan heater, it makes the air damp. You probably know this. A wood heater or getting a space heater that brings out the humudity would be better. Anyway, funny vid. Thanx.
Yeah it Definetly is. We did not go on any vacations over the last couple years so we invested in our little vacations on the ice ha ha. Thanks so much for watching
Dude everything about your setup is looking real professional… except one thing … the propane heater. Propane combustion fumes are toxic .. CO Carbon Monoxide can give you headaches and much worse. Take some advice from me on this and use “Methyl Hydrate” … build a wooden box with a small metal 4 gallon pail and place two soup can inside of a coffee can .. and then put the coffee can inside the 4 gallon pail. Fill the soup cans with MH fluid and light it with a small torch. One full soup can will last about an hour and burns clean .. fumes are only Carbon “Dioxide” and water. Cover the can with a piece of wood and smother it to put it out. That way you can close the shanty up more and keep the wind out. Careful not to suffocate yourself if you close everything up .. O2 levels drop fast. I suppose it’s too difficult to sleep overnight with a MH heater. Personally I use a generator with electric space heater because my shanty is a homemade trailer. Just a suggestion. Take care and be safe.
Totally understand. In the years of doing this I have yet to get a reading with the co detector. I actually used my small tent and closed it completely and let the heater run on full for the entire tank approx 32 hours. And no reading. The buddy flex on the other hand got a reading after 10 hours and I will not use that as it does not burn as clean as a catalytic style burner. I am waiting to see how the diesel heaters work but yeah. We are as safe as we can be and have all of the vents open as well as one window. I do appreciate you spreading caution as you are correct that no matter how safe you are there is still a possibility of issues with CO. Eventually we will also be looking at a small wood burner as well
Thanks Jay. And congrats on the news of the new addition to the fam. It’s guys like you that inspire me to be more adventurous and enjoy the short time we have.
Great video, if you want a larger subscriber base, keep great content coming. Don't post to Minnesota Ice Fishing Groups though. Let word of mouth work for you or you will regret it trust me.
Sorry what group would that be? I usually only post in places if people ask me to. I own my own company and do this just for fun. Feel free to let me know as maybe I posted it in the wrong forum or group.
I definitely have been blessed and I’m looking forward to setting up one of my other tents and have a couple people that are less fortunate to be able to come fish with me for a day.
@@ReelLifeWithMike sounds super fun, you should come to michigan. Here in grand rapids theres a lake called reeds lake, super good caught my pb there 8.5lb bass and a 14" crappie!!!
Great video Mike. I'm definitely going to use your foam mat pattern in my 650XD. What size cot are you using? I went out for the first time this weekend and my Cabelas Big Outdoorsman is way too large and takes up half the tent. Your cots fit perfectly. Thanks in advance.
Hey sorry I must of missed this comment. I also had the big outdoorsman but traded it in to the Cabela’s camp cart. I don’t think that they use that name anymore but it is a 25 inch wide
How deep are the lakes up there? I am from the southeast USA. I seen you were fishing 7ft or so I know here fish go deep if the can in the winter here.
I normally use the slush from our holes to Pact on the sides of The Hub to help with win, and I feel ratchet straps are better than the little strings you get with the hub.
In this video, you said you used 28 tiles but in your set up video in your garage, you said you use 32 could you please tell me which one it is thank you
28 tiles will cover the floor but will leave little 6 inch triangles on the 4 corners. 32 tiles will cover the floor completely but I almost always use 28 tiles. The little open spots are great for drinks and keeping filleted fish cold
Sounds good thank you for the fast reply. You have an amazing setup for your ice shelter! Nice and well planned out setup! Once I get mine done for the kids and I we’ll probably never be home on the weekends, wife will appreciate the quiet time alone lol. Thank you!
I definitely think it’s possible other than the doors will probably be blocked and have a harder access I believe the only way to set that up would be in somewhat of a triangle shape
*Great lightweight shelter. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s love how it blocks the light from outside. It was a pain to open the first time but now that it is broke in goes up easy..*
Yeah it can be a bit finicky some days ha ha

Agree 100%
Thank you so much for watching. Your 100 percent right. I have to admit this was much slower then normal but overall still great to be on the ice
Professional guy with a professional setup. Was fun to watch.
Omg your setup is sick! Seriously. I’m gonna need a second job if I ever want a setup like that! 🤣👍
Lol thanks. It’s been a bit to get everything the way I want but it’s a breeze now.
Just get a little at a time man
You can rent ice houses like that
What a great treat this video is! So glad I stumbled across your channel. You do a great job of talking through what you are doing but not to the point that bores us more experienced on-ice campers. Subbed. Good luck this season and stay safe!
That is the cleanest set up I've seen on the ice, I love it!
Thank you so much for watching. I have a couple updated vids as well

Thanks so much for watching. This comment got missed somehow. I have to admit we are built a bit different up here. Used to the cold ha ha
Yes it is so fun. Love the over nights. Lots of work doing the walk-out.
Being OCD love the organized set up, Fishing was slow but a night of winter camping makes up the difference!
Ha ha I have to give credit to my wife for that. But when its all clean and neat it makes it easier to do what needs to be done when your out there.
I came to watch this because it’s sweltering hot over here in Ontario. Definitely helped cool me down. Great video!
What kind of shelter? Eskimo what? I love the size
Don't think I will ever be that organized haha. Great setup of everything! Great video I subscribed 👍
Thanks. Its a bit of work but so worth it.
Congrats bro ur going to b huge on yt I knew that the first time I heard u speak on camera keep it up I'm proud of u g
Was watching your instalive today on you cooking. Can’t wait to see the vid buddy

I feel your pain walking gear out for a overnighter is a absolute workout!! Love the setup dude!!
Ha ha at least it’s just ice and is super easy to pull. We’ll be on with trucks soon enough

thanks so much for watching. Its a bit of work but makes the stay so much better.
Now this is a set up brother! You guys killed it. I'd overnight fish with you anytime!
I’ll have to keep that in mind Ha ha. Thanks.

Great video. Can't wait to try this.
That's a pretty sweet setup. I always like to throw some tip-ups or jaw jackers in while setting up.
Yeah I had a few in the truck but they were left behind ha ha. When we drive out they come for sure.
I live here in New York not tye city but in the southern end of ny and it gets fairly cold but nothing to crazy.. I have a question I’m hoping someone can answer….

Love all the over night videos on the Ice!! Another close by neighbor!
I’m hopefully gonna hit up sask this winter
I use a similar set up with a diesel heater keeps it nice and dry inside. Cheers

Nope I have never had a mat freeze. I assume it may if you took the tent off and then the mats stayed outside to freeze down.
Where did you get that aluminum case for your Garmin??? Great video, wish I had more than a 2 man shanty.
There is a company called arclab motor sports out here in winnipeg. Check them out.
@@ReelLifeWithMike Thank you!
Nice setup. When I spend the night on the ice. All I have is a cot and a sleeping bag.
Lol yeah we started pretty small. Took a bit to get to this point ha ha
Great setup man! Very inspiring to get out and do this.
nice video and looking forward to your future vids....you mentioned something about a 60 amp...can you tell me what that is or the setup? Is it powering everything?

Do you recommend a particular Carbon Monoxide detector? I have the same tent you have and now, I want to do an overnighter!
Honestly any will do but the kiddie brand is what I use
How thick are you foam floor tiles? I'm wondering what is needed to keep the ice from melthing?
They are only 1/2 inch. Pretty basic but they work
Great video working on my own chanel have to order some mats had forgotten about those
Very cool video, thank you
Awesome vid

Great video Mike. I'm definitely going to use your foam mat pattern in my 650XD. What size cot are you using? I went out for the first time this weekend and my Cabelas Big Outdoorsman is way too large and takes up half the tent. Your cots fit perfectly. Thanks in advance.

I use the MEC Reactor 6.5 pad. It has an R5 value and a reflective inner layer.
How deep are the lakes up there? I am from the southeast USA. I seen you were fishing 7ft or so I know here fish go deep if the can in the winter here.
completely different type of fishing than what you're used to..
We lived in Dauphin, Manitoba. Being from Ontario it was too cold for me.
No anchors is sketchy! I was crappie fishing last night, wind was moderate so I put in two anchors and the gusts were still lifting the hut!
No kidding. I now keep a couple in the tent pockets at all times. Wouldn’t recommend
Great video lad keep it up!!
I normally use the slush from our holes to Pact on the sides of The Hub to help with win, and I feel ratchet straps are better than the little strings you get with the hub.
I'd try and stay away with using the slush snow would be better it's all fun until the slush causes it to freeze in then u have to chop it out lol
Don't have snow get the clam sand snake things
That is very true
I also thought about making some custom anchors with a washer welded to the anchor to hold down the skirt.
Where did you find the mats for the cots and the light with remote?
Thanks for watching. I got the mats from a company called MEC. but any camping store should have a good selection. Even cabelas or bass pro shops.
Nice video Mike 🤙

That hut looks huge, which model is it?
It’s the Eskimo 650 xd
Excellent. Thank you
Do you think the 650xd model tent would fit 3 people and 3 cots
I definitely think it’s possible other than the doors will probably be blocked and have a harder access I believe the only way to set that up would be in somewhat of a triangle shape
I don’t ice fish but if I did, your setup would be the way to go!
Ha ha thanks. I could go much simpler but if it makes the wife happy to stay out longer then I dont mind the little extra work
Nice setup but where do ya poop…..
Wow if you caught some fish this might have been interesting
You telling me ha ha. Well we are doing much better now. Ha ha
Sweet setup
Superb!
👍👍👍
Thank you Mike❤
