the one issue ive found with the polar bird so far is it doesn’t prevent your drunk cousin from falling down a hole. It happened about 10 minutes after I told him he was cut off and his reply was “no I am not”. LOL well I guess going B**** deep into an ice hole ended that discussion.
On a side note, when he fell he crabbed onto the side of the house and the poles and they held up quite well! strong materials. lol
LMAO, that is awesome! and a true testament to the durability of the poles. I saw video of guys trying to break the poles to win a free shelter. It was cool to watch the disbelief on their faces when they bent the poles to the point where the tips were touching. Drunk friend really know how to find the weak points in any product… …if they have one. Cheers to Polar Bird!
What’s the procedure for drilling the holes with the floor? Looks like you
would have to scoop out all the shavings before re-installing the floor?
I lay the floor out, without the shelter erect, scribe an “X” in the center of each hole area, then i remove the floor from the ice, drill the holes, setup the shelter and install the floor. That way no sliding, folding, or anything. We basically use the floor as a template. we have tried all methods and found this to be the fastest, easiest, and least stinky. I’m sure their are better ways, but this works for us.
for those of you that bring your dog fishing with you the floor is a really nice feature for them. my buddy brings a dog bed out for his dog in his clam hub and that thing is a 50 pound pile of wet mess by the end of a day fishing
My three dogs sometimes join me on the ice too, and the floor is a godsend! no more dogs in the lap and wet car. They just sit on their beds by the heater and let me know when they want to go “check tip ups”. My wife likes the floor too. Truly a versatile and durable shelter.
