- Yeah I know it's a long video... but it's free!
I'll show off my 1-person flip over ice fishing shelter modifications, accessories, and what gear I bring with me in this one.
The focus of my mods are to maximize convenience, and organization while keeping the setup light enough to tow by hand.
Let me know what other improements I can make.
Equip Info:
Shelter: Clam Jason Mitchell Legend XL Thermal
Auger: Eskimo 6" Pistol Bit with Dewalt DCD790 Drill & 6AH battery
Heater: Mr. Heater Little Buddy
Total weight loaded (snacks/drinks included) ~130lbs

Dude, you hooked that baby up!!! You thought of everything!!! Great job! 👍
Thanks 😊
Love the auger bracket idea! Nice vid!
Thanks for the fan idea, I'm ordering that now. Lots of great ideas to modify my legend, I'm glad I came across your video.
Awsome coustom tutorial🤘, we both have poles mount and otter rod holder in same spot in our clam setup💥💥💥 & smitty sled makes big difference walking out there, especially hauling on snow.
Definitely like the auger hooks on the outside of the sled
Excellent video! I will definitely be adding some of these modifications to my Sierra sled.
Thank you
Great video, great ideas for additions
Hope you post more content enjoyed the video. I’m just across the border in southern Alberta.
I have a two man. I have a cot that partially sits in the sled and extends out for night camping plus yoga mats
I would love to have a 2 person setup but dragging the extra weight by hand in the slushy stuff we get here is too much for me... I still might go that route yet though... someday
Awesome setup. Great ideas!!
Greetings from a fellow Montanan! Really like your setup. I just ordered my shack today! Got some great ideas for mine. Thanks and tight lines! 🎣
Whoo! It's almost time! I see pics of people getting out there already... I hope I'm not far behind!
Great video! I'm modifying on right now.
Great video, and some great ideas
Hmm, that ruler idea is one of those that I'm just like...Why the heck did I never think of this... Thanx, great idea!
I still forget it's there sometimes ha!
Congrats on the 1k Subscribers! Good luck this year on the ice!
Great video you’re very good at detail!
Loved this video. Very informal and gave me some ideas.Great job and thank you.U explained everything well. Just subbed.
Thanks! Glad it helped someone with ideas!!
Well done! Enjoyed it.
Man, you have some great tricks! I have a Clam Kenai and didn’t even take it out last year but after watching your vid I want to trick it and take it! Been using our Eskimo hub shelter more and find we have more space, but less mobile. We did a fun setup video on -7 degree day! Can’t wait to get back out ice fishing this year.
Well done sir. I have a lot of similar mods on my two shacks. great video.
Thanks! I should do a follow up on some small changes perhaps... this rig serves me well though
Nice set up. Going to start setting my kenai pro up tomorrow
Nice set up. Good video.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank You for the great ideas, I have coat hooks in the back of my Legend and the Otter rod holders.
But I think that I will be borrowing your other ideas!
Your modifying video for the Legend is the Best video on the subject that I have seen!!!!
Thank You Very Much!
I am saving this one!!!!
Thanks! Thrilled it was of use!
Thanks! Thrilled it was of use!
I have been researching Smitty Sleds on You Tube.
They would make it easier to drag in deeper snow.
I want to build one this summer.
I had downhill skies on my other home built 100lb ice shack and it pulled pretty easy!
great video
I have the same sled great video and great job on setting it up awsome!
Thanks !👍
Really helpful ideas Thank you
very nice video it gave me a few ideas
Glad to hear it!
good walk thru!! My setup is very similar...great minds think alike...lol
Nice! If you have any improvement ideas let me know!
Nice video
Thanks Greg!
Looks great, there an adapter for your dewalt battery to 12 volt. Same battery platform to power drill, lights, & your fish finder. Best of luck
I've been thinking about that! Might save a pound or 2!
Awesome modifications! love the set up
Thanks! It works out well. I've made a couple more tweaks here and there... maybe I should film a follow up??
Very nice setu0
Those are some great modifications you added to your flip over house, very well organized.!!! Good Luck fishing. Happy Holidays.!!!
Great, thorough video! Some extremely good ideas, a few that I may be “borrowing” for sure! Thanks!
I’m running a Nanook as a 1-man. Going to rivet some hooks in place like you have for the poles, etc.
Nice! Glad someone found value in it! Have any mods of your own to share?
None that you haven’t already addressed in your own shanty, sorry.
Nice video, Caleb. I have a very similar setup in my Clam X100, with some exceptions. I will be borrowing a few of yours. For the ice scoop, do the hooks have an actual name? Also, where did you get the fan, that looks like a good'un!
Thanks! The hooks are Command Strip part number: DC031SS-8NA. I grabbed them from Walmart. I didn't use the command strip adhesive, but just pop riveted them on.
The fan is an Amacool 10000mah fan off Amazon.
Such a thoughtful set up. Definitely some takeaways for me. 1 question: I’m struggling with the idea of leaving the heater in the back like that as I’m worried when I fold my tent down it’ll hit the grill and burn my canvas. Any worries about that?
I really haven't experienced any issues with it at all. I make sure I shut the heater off as the first thing I do before I move, and in the few moments it takes to stash my rods and pull in my fishfinder, it's cool enough not to hurt the shack it seems. I was worried about it too at first, but so far I have had no signs of the heater affecting the fabric. Your mileage may vary though!
I always pack the heater last.
You have a link or part number for the hold down brackets you used on auger holder? What diameter aluminum rod?
Sorry I don't have a part numebr for the brackets. I did find them at ACE hardware though... The Aluminum rod is 1/4" from ACE as well
Awesome mods. I have the same shack. Do your poles ever get disconnected when setting up? On mine it does that sometimes. Not a huge deal but was thinking of maybe drilling out the hole the tab goes into a little bigger.
Constantly! I've been meaning to address that, but have just been dealing with it so far. Should be easy enough to solve I think??
@@calebplumleeoutdoors yea I think making the hole a little bigger could help. I really like the shack but the poles coming undone sometimes is really annoying. And on mine its not just the same one each time. It’s kind of random.
Does the seat fold flat towards the back of the tent ? Does the seat come out at all ?
This model doesn't have a flip up or over seat. It just slides side to side. The seat can be taken completely off the rails quickly without tools though.
Nice setup. Does that little buddy heater make it warm enough not wear a jacket inside the shack?
It does stay warm... sometimes too warm. I usually take my jacket off and have just a long sleeve shirt on after about 5 mins. On really super cold days, I have an under shirt and a long sleeve and it's comfy.
@@calebplumleeoutdoors okay thanks for the reply.
😀
It would be really nice if we knew where to get all these items?
What type of battery do you run your lights on
Right now I just use a small 12v lead acid battery. Considering a lithium upgrade to save a couple pounds
What brand is the fan?
It was a generic fan off of Amazon... I think the name was "Amacool" ??
Where did you find the towel magnet?
I used a fly fishing net magnet. You can find them in fly fishing shops and box store departments. Works Great!
Lake trout tackle?
6" auger ?
What is wrong with this?
I don't usually catch monsters that big! I drill 2 overlapping holes with the 6" when I go for lakers and can get a 20lb fish through. I sure wish I had to worry about ones bigger than that!!
@@calebplumleeoutdoors
Good save.
I have been using a 10" Jiffy for about 40 years. I'm on my third one. Back in the days of huge crappies in Upper Red Lake, we had to do overlapping holes to get them up. I have had many larger than a 5 gallon bucket lid. Good times. 👍
Too heavy bro. First thing I did was get rid of that seat system adds like 11lbs.
I like the extra convenience and comfort. I've added a second seat system to mine now and my 5'2" girlfriend likes to pull it to stay warm, so it's not too bad.
What do you use to sit on?
Nice one man!
