So anyway, I've been using the Eskimo Outbreak 250XD

The new shelter material works great.   Compared to the old one on the 949i with the Insulated Quilted fabric.  That's the picture of the 949i on the inside with the frost condensation along the quilted pinholes.  I'm so glad I don't have to deal with the Frost line.



The new Stormsheild Fabric on the Outbreak 250XD stays frost free.  It's also a bit easier to set up by myself.  Well more like the new design of ball and socket hubs are easier to deploy and take down.  It's just more smooth.  The big door that's trip free is wonderful.  It makes for transport of equipment to and from shelter so easy.

Not me, but I think I will take their tails or feathers.  Since I'm a fishing guy, I might want to use their fur or feathers for lure making.

Anyway I buy the clearance stuff if the price is knocked down like 40-50% off when I'm looking for new gear.  Sometimes it's clearance junk.  Sometimes it's clearance or price right gear.

Whats wrong with your clam one??

Another man’s trash, is another man
How much you want for it?

I give you $50 for old clam
Post some pic


Too warm
I won’t venture onto the ice yet
Lets get some negative temps first

Nothing wrong with it, just too heavy to carry around.  It's about 70+ lbs.  When it's truck on ice, the clam can come out.

Well, coronavirus is still around and all gyms are closed.

It's called body building, not going to the gym. People go to the gym to show off or gawk at others.  Well maybe a few don't do that.

Heck ya...So I bought this new tent.  No, it's actually an ice fishing shelter.  This is gonna be how ice fishing will be done.  Now I just gotta go check out if my heater will still work.  New for Eskimo shelter this year is their new insulated fabric called Storm Shield.  The best thing is that one no longer see those pinhole quilted welded/stitching that defeats the purpose of insulation.  The best thing about this Outbreak 250XD is the big door that somehow ice fishing shelter has long forgotten.  Yeah I had big doors on the old Clam 1060 and that was awesome.  Well the big door on the Eskimo here is that like a door and nothing to trip over on the floor.  Well the only thing that Eskimo really needs to work on is getting some cross bars onto the door frame.

However with this warm weather we've been having and lack of snow on the ground...well looks a lot like there's not going to be much ice fishing.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it must be a duck bill dinosaur.

It's like deer fever...they start seeing deer everywhere.  Down the street, by the supermarket, crossing the highway, deer deer oh deer.  Heck someone would probably shoot a John Deere tractor and said it was a mistake.

Now it's like Hmong people and white bass fever.  They be catching other people's lures, crossing other people lines, then be opening up other people's tackle boxes and stuff.

But my $25 Shimano Coriolis still works better than my $35 Shakespeare Dimension.  And they both around 20 yrs old.  Because that cheap Shimino worked so well, I bought into the more expensive one afterwards and it worked even better.

I don't wait for Black Friday rainchecks that can't be filled. 

If I want or need something, I will buy it when it's in stock and available.  So usually that's long before this Blah Frydah deal.  Or I will look for closeout clearance deals.
