Don't quote me. I think almost all of the Canadian sites charge U.S. (universal money) at higher rate
Case in point: go to a local GM car dealer get the price then compare the price at a dealer in the U.S. when you visit Buffalo.
Go tell that to the MP/MPP Oppps! now i'm getting into politics stop now, I am getting back to Ice Fishing (my passion). Go to you local store, feel and test what you like then pay for it and haul it home.
Happy Ice Fishing,
Peace,

Yeah, just look at the prices of books and magazines. That's why I stopped buying them off the rack, price and 80% ads 20% articles that babble on and on and don't even focus on the topic.
I like Kijiji for deals. With the season coming up there won't be too many deals or they'll be gone fast. Have to pounce on any deals.

speaking of sled, I saw some guys last year with a modified sled that he used a piece of wood on top of the kids skis then mount them underneath the sled. In turn, that jacked up the sled thus, made it easier for him to pull through the ice and snow. So the bigger the sled the more friction it is of the sled to the snow surface. If you have pulled sleds in the past you know what i mean.
Smart idea. hats off to him!

For those prices, I think I could make one cheaper an bigger. But maybe a little heavier on the downside, I can live with it. Whatta you say grub?
You're right, I just went to Rona to price out the parts to make a 4'x4' hut. I think that's large enough for 2 guys with a hole in the center. It might be tight for 3 or 4 guys, tangle lines shoulder to shoulder. It would weigh about 30-35lbs without the removable skis and cost min. $75. That includes a 1 1/2 inch insulated styrofoam floor. You won't feel a dam thing with a heater on. Very reasonable for anyone who is handy and likes to build stuff. Anyone interested PM me your email and I'll reply with my plans, not totally complete but I can explain how to do it.

Considering I only went ice fishing once and did not enjoy it I'm in no hurry to build one just yet, I'll rent a couple of times first. I like to build my own things when I can to save money. I just designed something that might someday fit my needs and maybe someone else. Ha I don't even have room to store it once it's built when the season's over my garage is full with the duck boat I built when I was in college....lol
Hope everyone finds what suits them best.
