But it is still my favorite shelter to use if I am going to be fishing by myself, whether I am actually by myself, or in a group - each of whom have their own shelter.

Even though it is enjoyable to fish next to folks when ice fishing if it is slow; I would just as soon fish in a one man house so that if something isn't working, I don't have to asks anyone if we should move.

Rather, I just flip the house open, grab the rope and tow it over to a different location. Pop a hole, or open up an old hole, flip the lid down and go back to fishing. Everything stays in the house, so no packing required when moving from hole to hole.

Oh I have had a 1 man fish trap with the plastic bottom for many years. I had the original one with the sliding bench seat, then I upgraded to the one man with the comfy seat, the cover, the tow hitch, led lights, the whole shot lol

I was just reminising is all
