  • Thanks for watching my Life Outdoors channel. If you like fishing, all my fishing related videos have moved to my new channel, "Go Midwest Fishing." Also visit gomidwestfishing.com for in depth articles on fishing and to see more videos.
    When researching which ice house to buy, I noticed there wasn't many detailed videos showing the features of each kind, so after getting a great year end deal at Cabelas, I made my own video. I apologize if my head is out of the frame, I had to run the cameras myself, so it was hard to tell where to stand. I hope this video helps you out.

    This was very helpful thank you. Im not a novice when it comes to putting things together, but the manual was terrible. Hopefully otter shows you some love. You definantly earned it.

    Great instructional vid...but doesn't need the music. Everyone seems to think they need to add it, but the music is more annoying than anything. Thanks!

    I just used this video to help me assemble an XT Cottage. Thank goodness for you Sir!!!! This video was a life saver, I hope Otter see's this and sends you a new side door flip over for free. 17K + views I would bet 1/2 of them are new buyers just like me using this vid to assemble their shacks because the paper instructions are poor. #OTTER

      Glad to hear. That's the whole reason I made it. I was in Cabelas the other day and noticed the new side door shacks. What a great idea. Why did it take so long to add a door? Thanks for watching!

    Nice vid. I load mine by putting front end into box first. Then get in box and pull it up. This works even better with the hitch pivot. Almost like built in handles.

    • @lifeoutdoors7095
      @lifeoutdoors7095  6 років тому

      Thanks for the advice. I'm going to use it for the first time over Christmas break. I'll try your method.

    nice vid....I will admit I did LOL when you were loading that up in the back of your truck cause when there is snow on the ground that sled slides even more. The good thing is that here in north central MN the small lakes have a good cap of ice on them so the new season is just around the corner.

      I've gotten a lot of use out of it this year, and I love it! It fits 2 people perfectly, and can even get 3 people in there if needed.

  • @randyschwan1988

    The holes are for rope and/or hitch. Otter makes a hitch that comes with the hardware/pins designed for those holes, makes it easy to pull behind a sled and/or atv/utv.
    Good vid, put mine together last weekend, mine seems to be tighter around frame so hoping it loosens up a bit.

    • @lifeoutdoors7095

      I'm on my second year of use and couldn't be happier. This thing really holds in the heat. It's a cozy 70 degrees in there with the heater on low, even at -25! You're going to love it.

    I installed a 2000lb winch on the front of the box floor to help load if I’m by myself. I have the frabill predator and that thing is heavy with the mods I did to it. Nice tent you have

    • @lifeoutdoors7095
      @lifeoutdoors7095  5 років тому +1

      I love my otter! A winch would be handy. I ended up using those ramps that are loading an ATV. I get in the bed and pull it up the ramp. Works good.

    Make sure you add some lubricant to the aluminum poles and zippers. They will bind up after some use. Great ice hut

    Have you dragged this on foot at all? Are you still glad you went with the big one?

    • @lifeoutdoors7095
      @lifeoutdoors7095  6 років тому

      Thanks for the comment. It is much heavier loaded down. I found a new way to load it myself that works great! I will be posting that video soon.

    I'm trying to put a 2019 xt pro resort together kinda frustrating by yourself it's so huge I think otter should make better instructions for poles

    • @lifeoutdoors7095
      @lifeoutdoors7095  4 роки тому +1

      I have to admit, it was a lot more work than I expected. I thought it would have been at least partially put together. I do agree about the poles. Its not real clear on how to put them together.

  • @scottmiller5859
    @scottmiller5859 4 роки тому +2

    Your video was exactly what I needed. I have the same shanty and was not sure how to put on the edge trim. You demonstrated the entire process quite well.
    And I agree with the unexpected time it took to put everything together. Good news is that I get to take it out on her maiden voyage this weekend.
    Thanks again. Tight lines.
