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.
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!
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!
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
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 👍👍
'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 🎣🎣🎣

HAHAHAHA I did I've switched it since then.. I still have some issues doing it but that's pry just me...Thanks for watching and Dropping the comment
My wife and I just retired. We just purchased the 450i. We can't wait to get out and use it....thanks for the video
No problem....I love it so hopefully you will too thanks for watching 🙌🙌
Do you know the dimensions of the shanty in the bag? Length width and height?

Camping in mine right now
@@snowvisionoutdoors super envious, I was wondering how it would fit a sleeping cot. Keep on rippin those lines!
@@brandonedwards9812 two cots work great 👍😃 fish are biting
This video has me convinced to buy this hut for our next family fish outing. Thanks!
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!
Had to re-watch this used shack for my son to sit in deer hunting and I couldn't remember how to get it folded back up now I remember thanks again
Lol no problem thanks for watching again.....

Very cool... yes I believe Eskimo did a good job with this series...time will tell thanks for watching tight lines🎣🎣🎣
@Elian Mason you can do it faster if you are not trying to explain how to do it ☺️☺️ thanks for watching 🎣🎣
@@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
Thanks! Can you use a master lock to lock the big door if you leave it outside overnight?
I don't believe so I'm not sure how you could stop the zipper without putting a hole in the hut to put the lock it...🎣
@@snowvisionoutdoors ok thanks for responding 👍
The best way I have found drill a pilot hole first so much easier
Might have to try that thanks for watching
Thanks for tho video very informative, subed because you did a great job
Thanks for watching and glad I could help 🙂
Good tutorial video, I am thinking about going from a Fatfish 949i to this.
I love the door... I've had it for over a year and fished from -10 fahrenheit to 30 mile an hour wind...no problems thanks for watching 🎣🎣🎣
Nice job. Great demo.
Thank you 😊
Did you leave the rods for the door in while taking it down?
@@Michigandrivenoutdoors I don't use them at all anymore but yes I forgot to, but pulled them out later in the video
I have the same hut, it's such a great hut. Great movie!
Thank you for watching and commenting tight lines🎣🎣
Great video for those of us shopping. THANK YOU! How Heavy is that shelter? Is it manageable on foot or do you have a vehicle off camera?
I just put it in a jet sled and pull it around I believe it is 48lbs not bad.. Thanks for watching
I have the same but and love it
Thanks for the video when your a shorter person you gotta step on it to pop the sides out.lol

What does everyone run for Ice Fishing huts
I use a Eskimo Fat fish
@@boosted3500 that is also a great hut
Just picked up the 450 XD.. just arrived today. I have a Shappel uninsulated version that I’ll be selling now. No more trip doors.
@@Whitetail414 that is one of the best parts no stepping in/tripping in... hope you enjoy!
That is a pretty awesome hut i might have to upgrade
It is pretty slick
i have a Q How good is it in wet weather and is it water proof
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 👍👍

Seems to be just as sturdy as my brother's fatfish you put those poles in it holds it pretty good plus adding the pegs
