I have a Eskimo 949 insulated hub shelter I bought last year and have only used a handful of times. I have a day time ice fishing trip planned with my dad for MLK day and the forecast is for temps only a few degrees below and above zero during the day. Will we be warm enough if we can pack snow around the floor skirt to keep the wind out and with only a little buddy 3800 BTU heater inside? So far about the coldest I’ve been out in is about 15-20 degrees above zero. I’m thinking if we’re dressed warm we’ll be okay, I’ve just not been out in that kind of cold before with my equipment so I’m just wondering what others have experienced.
We’re both going to be driving a bit to meet and fish so I don’t want the day to be shot if we drive out there and get frozen out in an hour or two.
Thanks!
