I am looking for one of the PakShack ice tents that were made several years ago.  Anyone that has one in decent usable shape they would like to sell let me know.

Thanks Icedog

Wow, I remember thinking about buying one of those like 10 years ago for hole hopping. I think they stopped making them about 5 years ago. The main issue was the chair was just a folding camping chair which only seem to last a few trips before one of the legs broke. Probably some sitting in garages with broken chairs people forgot about? Good luck on your search.  ??

Yeah, my friend had one of those and it fell apart/broke after 2-3 seasons.  Haven't seen one since then.

 

Good luck!!

Mike, do you have a brand that you recommend?  I'm not a hunter so don't think about those things.  Thx

Looking at these ground blinds would still prefer the original PakShack if someone has one in a garage or basement somewhere that they aren't using.  I had one and sold it at a garage sale....wish I hadn't done that...oh well.

Anybody got one in their attic or garage they'd like to be rid of?

I got one out in the shed. I'll dig it out this weekend and see what kind of shape it's in, see if the mice got to it.

Minimal use otherwise.

Got it for trekking into trout lakes.

That sounds like a lot of work these days. :)

I'm sure Duff takes good care of his stuff. It's probably in mint condition and with the rarity worth twice what he paid for it! ?

Sorry to get your hopes up icedog, especially because I was just gonna give it to ya for free, but it is kaput.

Just a couple minor mice holes, and it looked pretty good overall, took a pic pointing out the holes......and then I sat in it and moved around a bit. All of the plastic pressure point/parts attached to the chair pretty much disintegrated to the touch.

Time and plastic......not a good mixture.

I doubt you will find one that is still holding up.

But thanks for helping me declutter the shed. :)

Can't he just get a new folding camping chair to put in it?  How hard would that be?  The little holes are nothing to throw a patch on.  Dang the icedog is in Marion, IA. I'll take it and see if I can fix it up, if he can't use it! ?

The chair was part of the structural integrity, all one unit put together.

I will do some looking. I had one a while back, but may have already gotten rid of it before we moved a few years back. I'll have to go through the pile of untouched items in the shed.

Icedog, your on the right path if your looking for lightweight fast moving portables! I had my pack-a-shack for 8ish years and had no issues with at all. I use mine for running and gunning river eyes. They do get very tight if you need a heater and I’d recommend using as short of a rod as possible. They are perfect for if you just want to sight fish on a warm day. Good luck searching!

The one with Duffman did not work out so if anyone else has one that they want to be rid of let me know.  I am able to fix stuff (don't ask my wife her opinion) so would take something that might not be in 100% great shape. 

Thx
