I have 2 hub shelters , a 2-3 man killzone & a 3-4 man XL Killzone. Neither are insulated. I like the height of the XL because usually it gets the most company and people tend to stand up.  As far as insulated , I run a Mr. Buddy Heater . It does well in the 2-3 man , like no jacket on only a sweat shirt. The heater does not keep up enough in the XL in negative temps so we run 2 heaters , lol I don't like being cold when I have the equipment.
 
I see The eskimo Quick fish -3 is on backorder from Fish USA, I would start looking elsewhere as they usually don't keep a good restock for specialty gear and only go on sale if they have left overs at end of season. While they are a GREAT store, with super fast shipping , I find when that type of stuff is gone, its gone..
This place is near me and is geared towards ice fishers. I know their site says out of stock but they usually have many things in store that's not listed on their site and things in stock that say out of stock, I'd give them a call and see what they got. They probably got the QF-3. I will be in their store on Saturday and can let you know .

Ran the first 25 fish through the Lithium ion cordless Rapella knife without a hitch. Worked just as well as the corded without the hassles of the cord. Will post back on battery life towards the end of the season

I paid $11.00 for the angler knife on clearance so no complaints on their brand as I've put a hose to the electronics and it still starts.
That's my biggest concerns, can it get wet ?

Pretty sure this is close to 10 years going

HT thanks for the heads-up on the E-3 backorder.  I may have to place a back order on my order if that be the case.  If I buy a fish shelter I gotta use a gift card that's burning a hole in my pocket and it's from FishUSA.   Which is OK cause those guys have a whole lotta other  stuff I can have fun with til next Christmas when I get another gift card for Christmas plus the one I'll be wantin for my birfdey.  I love gift cards for presents so if any yinz are at a lost as to what to get me, just tell FishUSA to ship them gift cards my way!!!
 
Hope that foot is healing up and ya can get back at it, pedal to the metal.
 
To all yinz all,  good times and tight lines in the new year. 
 

That's cool.
I love fish USA gift cards. Mine lasted about 12 hrs. They are my online shop always. Only because I have not made it to their store.
Thanks fish USA

I looked up that knife and got sticker shock.

I got it for x mas so that's the only reason I got it.  Got the base model with only large blade , one battery and charger. I think it was $70 on sale. I have the small blade from my other one and who needs a case. Lets see how it holds up. Can't ever see needing 2 batteries unless I was camping or something   

BeenThereDoneThat.
If a guy was lookin to purchase say.......  a new ice fishing hut and this guy fishes mostly by one's self and must manually drag his equipment because his stupid state disallows any motorized vehicles on the ice.  What one hut would be the most likely recommended, keeping in mind the hut must be transported and set up by one little old guy unless, a couple of his friends convince him to take them fishing.  Therefore the hut should comfortably seat no less than two people, plus gear, at any given time?  Also keep in mind, these friends couldn't stack bales of hay in broad daylight on a mild summer day so absolutely no setup/tear down help can be expected.
 
I'll be researching ice huts on FishUSA for a bit, so please feel free to leave a suggestion or two but it keep it quiet as I think the wife may be listening.

Got a review from a co worker today on the quick fish-3 insulated bought here for his son on Christmas. The review in his words were amazing and awesome. Plenty space , height and quality. They had 4 people in it a few times with 3 standing straight up at no problem. The insulated version was just bought , just because..
Only 1 time out but he felt it was worth the gift of giving.. geesh lucky kid, lol.

If your in need of something now, I'd start shopping but if it's an investment to the future it might pay off waiting.
Ps. Only negative as with any of those hubs no matter what is the bag is always to small

Ha haa, I hear ya on those darned bags shrinking once an item is removed.

If they haven't tried it, sometimes rolling the hub tent will compact it enough so it fits. But then, you may be packing snow along with the shelter.


I really appreciate you letting me know about the field tested review HT. Very kind of you but let's just keep that our little secrete, I'm going nuts checking inventory every few minutes hoping the shelters dont sell out before they go on sale. Lol.


Screwed up yesterday, FishUSA offered forum users a 10% discount which would have been $19.00 off the price. Stupid me!!!

Thanks again HT.
