lol i knew you looked at a thermometer! i guess i shouldnt say that my portable shack doesnt protect from the wind it does. i just prefer to close the door and lock it as oposed to breaking one down in the wind and dark. keep in mind that after 10 or 12 hours on the ice im probably not very coordinated if you catch my drift. i ahve an otter 5 man. its too big to pulkl by hand w/ all the crap in it but i hook it to either my wheeler or my snowmobile. they def have there place in the ice fishin world but i still prefer my permanant shack since i fish that place everyweekend for big browns!!!! and salmon too.

as far as the roof shoveling goes they are all customers. im self employed in the winter the building and concrete slows down so we plow and shovel roofs. i get anywheres from 200-700 bucks a roof so its not bad. im not sure who in their right mind wold ever build a flat roof up in the north??? only a canadian i supose eh?! haha

post some of you ice fishin pics!!!!!
