    Do you guys in Sask. have strippers yet, or do you still drive over to Manitoba to see them?
    Naybor has had strippers for years. Think they are Shelbourne’s....

      Little buddy heater with a 20lb tank outside works great little bottles seem to freeze up. I also have a eskimo tent I bought at Peavey mart that pops up easy.

        Whatever you use to heat your tent/shack, go to cabelas and buy a battery operated ceiling fan. Amazing what a difference it makes. Just leave it run on low to pull the heat down off the roof.

              Just wondering what guys use for heating a small shack or tent style shelter.
              Would a small solar panel work with a 12v car heater? Are there 12v heated mats, like a pet mat?
              Can a propane tank mounted radiant heater work in a closed area?
              Probably not looking for a lot of heat, as wouldn't be going out on the coldest of days.

              Any ice fishers here? Sound advice welcome. Looking at a 3 man 90"x90" fishing tent.
              For a 3 man tent , the propane buddy heaters work best .
              The small radiant heaters can be a pain but do work
              That Dewalt I use has an LED light in the handle , battery , fan , two tanks .
              Also has USB charger
              If you go that rout, definitely find an adapter to fill the small tanks or do as tweeker does .
              You won’t meed much heat actually even in -20, -25 unless it’s windy .

                  Any concern with low O2 or high CO levels burning propane in such close quarters?

                    Two fishers found dead in their tent a month ago just north of Winnipeg because of that very reason.

                    Not enough ventilation.

                    My kids all ice fish, I warn them every time they go out.

                      Make sure your shack is vented , and only use the propane heaters as necessary and as low as possible.
                      Wood heat is probably best if you have a small stove
                      But 3 man shacks have limited room for that .
