I would like as much info on flip overs as possible. What the good brand and models are. Downsides that there are. The quicker the flip the better as I like to relocate a lot until I find fish.
Thanks for the help!

I love it because it keeps me warm and well its just nice to have, but I have had a few issues with it. I bought a new tent for it this year because I had burned a few holes in my other one plus it ripped down at the seem with the sled.
Well as mentioned I bought a new tent this year. Two hours into using it the first time this season I put a nice hole in it with the lantern...now thats completely my fault....trust me, I felt great about that one!
But then just the other day I noticed that the thing had ripped in the exact same place as my other one and that is a really bad place for it to rip, if you don't have snow to pack over that part it becomes a nice cold air vent!
Anyways, I am happy with it and I use it a lot so these things really need to be able to take some abuse. I think I might get a new one though and keep the Frabill two man at a remote location or something.
I really want one of the new red Eskimo's but I cant find any stores in my area that have one so I can go sit in the things. I think my greatest disappointment in the Frabill is just that the tent seems to be real susceptible to ripping and holes, so I am looking for something with some tougher material.
I also liked the Eskimos but the sales rep at Sportsmen’s Warehouse warned me that the plastic sleds were thinner and could wear through. I would guess you’d have to be dragging them around the lake quite a bit with a snowmobile or ATV to get that to happen but I guess it’s possible.
In the end, the sales rep told me he had a sponsorship from Frabill as he was also a guide and field tester. Frabill gave him three different shacks so he was set up with the nicer units. However, he told me that if he wasn’t a pro with the sponsorships, he’d likely own the Trekker.
By far the best pulling shack behind either a ATV or snowmobile, doesn't matter if the snow is one inch deep or two feet deep this thing glides so nice over the snow! Best storage of any portable ice shack. All in all the best shack hands down. I am 6'6" and my brother who fishes with me a lot of the time is 6'8" and with him and I together ice fishing we need room and this portable shack offers just that. I cannot say enough about this thing.
