Lol!!! I think you must have had your drill set in “hammer” action. Hammer is for drilling into cement. Set it to the “drill” setting and the ice anchor will go in a lot smoother. Sweet shelter!!! Love the walk through door.
If it comes just like this one you will not regret it....keeps you warm with freezing temps...with a heater of course, hopefully you catch lots of fish in it!
Just got one of these, I knew you were going to forget those door poles, I've learned from my mistakes, in very high wind of course! I also leave one anchor attached till I'm all finished with breakdown, in case something blows in!
Haven't taken my 850 eskimo out of box yet. waiting for better ice. I have a big Rapala shack and have hand drove the nine pins for three years. Bought a drill attachment this year just for speed. Thank for the video from North Bay Ontario.
Awesome that 850 gunna give you alot of room for activities hopefully it holds up nice of you and maybe I'm just a sissy but I can't ever get them to screw into the dang ice thanks for watching 🙌🙌
I have the Outback 250xd, I love it, floor measures 7'2 x 7'2 with the little added space where the door is, the floor pattern is like a diamond shape because of the door. No problem with the wind either, stakes down nicely and very warm
@@chadbosko8935 yeah, there are bigger sizes as far as the floor dimension, but then they arent 250xd's....they are 300, 350 or 400xds, something like that
It's a pretty awesome hut I just got it this year and like it better than the fat fish and quick fish just because of the door..also had it out in -2 and stayed really warm
'people say they can hand drill em in, but their full of shit' hahahahah best line ever! great video thank you, im looking to get the same setup. Im worried bout that door way not having a bottom appears to make the shelter less rigid and more flimsy?
disregard the last bit; I've commented before I finished watching the video. Great video man, this was probably the best review video on youtube for this shelter!
I had one of these for one day and exchanged it for a fatfish 949iwith the old doors. The first trip out with the outbreak 450i the base seam came unraveled around the door. Enough for me. Plus the extra poles were a pain. It is much more flimsey than the old design and my experience was not good. Generally like Eskimo products but my experience with the outbreak 450i was a dud.
@@mindymalmberg3592 that's to bad maybe you just ended up with a lemon...I barely use the poles anymore and haven't had a issue thanks for watching 🎣🎣🎣
It works good in the snow I have never taken it out in the rain...I'm not positive about water proof but definitely water resistant....Just make sure to dry it out when ever you make it back home before storing it for any period of time 👍👍
