Not marketing______Anyone ice fish? What do you use for heating tent/shack

[furrowtickler]

Thinking about giving it a go,,, wife not interested.
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 .

Thanks guys, for all the tips and replies.

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 .

some guys have been using the Chinese diesel heaters from Amazon with success... sounds pretty sweet.. a couple liters of diesel fuel and you are warm for the day. And at the price point of about $250.oo I would be looking at it if I had a solid wall shack not a pop up fishing tent.

Big screen TV, all that's missing is the bartender and stripper.


Do you guys in Sask. have strippers yet, or do you still drive over to Manitoba to see them?

I picked up these beauties on a trip through Sask a few years back for a wiring emergency.
Apparently strippers are available in sask.
