Hey Everyone! In this video I show you how I built my own portable sled pop up ice house using basic materials from my local hardware store for less than 37 bucks! Stay tuned for Pt 2 and as always, Thanks for Watching!

UPDATE: I have retired this specific ice house due to safety concerns. On the ice houses last outing I had taken a small sunflower style heater along in anticipation of sub zero temperatures. After setting up and using the heater for a short amount of time I began to feel light headed and nauseous. I had cut ventilation slots in both walls previously before my endeavor in anticipation of the heater which proved to be inadequate. I had also set a small section of the tarp on fire due to the tarps natural flammability which was unknown to me at the time. After this very brief outing I had come to the unfortunate conclusion of abandoning this project due to these safety concerns and bought a used suitcase style icehouse which has proven to be much safer. I strongly discourage using a heater of ANY kind within a homemade temporary structure and would not recommend attempting this specific icehouse project. If you do attempt this project you are at your OWN risk!
I know, its a bit of a buzzkill and I too wish the project would have had a happier ending. BUT, I would hate to hear of anyone being injured, or put at risk from watching my videos and would rather you take into account my experiences and challenges so you don't learn and find out the hard way like myself.
Stay safe and stay smart - Dave
Maybe an all in one diesel heater but another couple hundred
Nice quick design you made though
Your a smart kid keep up the good work!
You gotta get to sleepy eye ice fishing. Or hanska get them big 14 in craps right before sun down
This is pretty sweet - even with your mishap with the tarp material/inability to use a heater - I wonder if its due to the tarp being polyethylene or just heater fumes?
I'm fairly certain the flammability was directly related to the polyethylene tarp and the nauseous feeling was due to inadequate/poor ventilation design. I think the idea and build was 90% there, but those two factors were just too risky. It was an interesting project and I learned a lot, but if I were to do it all over again I would just spend the extra money and buy a used insulated ice house.

I wanna buy it
I was sceptic but i actually like this idea
I might do my version of this
I thought of maybe using a movers blanket instead of tarp, lmk what you think?
its those black and blue drop cloth like fabric thats insulated
@@frosty9457 i think i use tarp but some other type one 🤔 it all depends what i find...
It would be fun to use tarp and some other fabric and combine them
I could see a movers blanket soak up water and freeze making it difficult to manipulate on the lake. I also could see where it would be more challenging to ventilate and would be less wind resistant. I agree with the combination comment, an outer tarp with a blanket layered inside would be most ideal but the biggest challenge would be adhering them to one another.
@@MissionForFishing yep. I think that double layer need to be clued and not in everywhere just 50%? 🤔
We have these kicksled and i have some ideas to make this on it
Could you send / post schematics? I’d like to build one - just with bars long ways instead of parallel to the sled - so it can be a two man. Thanks!
I don’t have any schematics, the only sketch was drawn up and shown in the video for a few seconds. I was going to make it a two man but then the center poles would need to extend out.
No worries!
The plan part for this specific house is shown at 1:01 , but I've had a lot of requests to revisit the project again this winter...
Just FYI, tarps are flammable ;-)
I hope you shopped at Menards 😁
You know it! Its a great store and you should shop their more often ;)
@@MissionForFishing How much they pay you to say that?
How long is your sled? pls respond
I thinks its around the 5 foot mark...
install some plastic windows use velcro
A lantern will warm it up just fine how come you did not use maybe electric conduit it would be lighter
I thought I mentioned it but those pipes were 1/2” electrical conduit.
Fuckin mint
why white lol
I did not want it to look like just an average tarp on the water so I went with a color that would somewhat blend in.
