Every hobby fisherman who is engaged in ice fishing has in stock mandatory there should be a good and quality tent.

In the absence of a warm and good tent, fishing in winter may not be a very attractive pastime: cold wind and frost will not give a chance to be on a river or lake for a long time. Therefore, a tent made of quality material is just a necessity.

In this material you will learn about the features of the choice, types and sizes of these products for winter fishing.

What to look for when choosing a tent for winter fishing

A tent for fishing in winter must meet many requirements so that the fisherman's favorite hobby does not become torment and hard labor.

First, this device must be windproof. All materials from which the tent is made must meet the above conditions.

When choosing, be sure to pay attention to the material, which must be dense, and plus everything must necessarily "breathe". Because fishing tents made of "non-breathing" material, cause condensation to form on the walls and dome of the "house", resulting in subsequent freezing.

Also pay attention to the presence of opening vents and windows in the walls of the tent. They are absolutely necessary for the air to circulate well.

In addition, the material should preferably be of a light shade - it will be light in such a tent.

Before buying a "house", be sure to check how you can fix the product on the ice cover. In order for the tent to be securely fastened, it is advisable that it be equipped with the manufacturer's braces that are attached to the arches.

And one more tip: if a lot of amateur friends are going fishing, you need to choose a bigger tent.

Types of tents

Automatic

Automatic (or self-expanding, spring-loaded) tents are generally dome-shaped, although other shapes can also be found. The structure of the house is attached to the frame and forms a circle. Such a tent can be opened within a few seconds, since the frame works like a spring.

These types of tents are mainly made by Chinese manufacturing firms and are undoubtedly in demand among fishermen due to their low price, lightness and compactness. However, the assembly of such "houses" requires certain skills.

In addition, the tents of Chinese manufacturers are not very rigid, and this affects the stability and wind resistance. They can also break if installed incorrectly. Agree that this is a significant disadvantage.

There are also automatic tents that resemble a rain umbrella (or umbrella).

Automatic tents have windows that are well ventilated and let in light. Also, most of them have a fireproof impregnation, which means that you can use a stove here for heating in the cold season.

The main advantages of such tents are not heavy weight and the ability to quickly and easily install and assemble them. With these products, it is easy and simple to move from place to place, looking for the best area for fishing, including traveling long distances.

Arc

These tents include outer arches (usually two or three) and an awning that hangs from the arches on a hook. Usually arcs are made of plastic or metal. Metal is a more reliable material, it is not afraid of frost, but the cost of a tent with such arcs can be significantly more expensive.

Tent color

This is a very important factor - with the help of color, you can hide, not stand out against the background of the environment, so that competitors do not notice you and learn about your fishing spot. Or vice versa - the bright color of the tent will help you stand out so that, for example, friends who arrived later can find you without any problems.

Material

Pay at this point Special attention when choosing a tent. The material of your future shelter must be windproof! Along with this, the tent must "breathe" - this is necessary to prevent the appearance of condensation on the walls, which subsequently freezes in the cold.

Most often, in tents with a low cost, polyamide fabric is used as a material. It meets the basic requirements: it does not allow moisture to pass through and breathes well. However, at high humidity, such fabric stretches, and with prolonged exposure to bright sun, it can lose strength. Therefore, such a tent can last for a maximum of a couple of years.

And one of the most popular material familiar to many from Soviet times is tarpaulin. Currently, manufacturers rarely use this material in the production of tents.

The tarpaulin perfectly "breathes", is not afraid of the sun, but, unfortunately, it gets wet and allows water to pass through. However, there is a way out: a canvas tent can be water-repellent. It would also be a good idea to subject the tarp to an anti-rotting treatment.

Double layer tents

These tents are most often used for long-term fishing or during cold winters. In such models, another awning is attached to the inside of the tent frame, to which an inner layer is attached (it is good if this layer is made of a membrane). Distinctive feature such "houses" - good ventilation, thermal insulation. However, as a rule, such shelters are heavy, so they are not very common.

Fishing tent heating

Usually, on a fishing trip, fishermen warm themselves with dry fuel, gas stoves, candles or primus stoves. You can even make a simple stove from an ordinary tin can to burn dry fuel in it.

First of all, you need to determine where the wind is blowing from. After that, you need to set up the tent as follows: entrance and ventilation valves in open form should be on the side opposite to the wind.

Often, the manufacturer puts metal pegs along with the tent. However, they have little effect during winter fishing. Therefore, we recommend to additionally buy metal screwdrivers (or gimbals) - they need to be screwed into the ice cover. Such devices themselves are securely fixed in the ice and will help to hold the tent firmly.

If a strong wind blows, the tent can be fixed with an ice screw - drill a hole on the leeward side, and fasten the handle of the drill and the top of the tent.

When going fishing, be sure to wax the locks with wax to make them work better. Never open the locks themselves completely - they can freeze in this position.

The advantages and disadvantages of fishing in a tent

Pros of fishing in a tent in winter:

The indisputable advantage in severe frost is warmth. Protected by a tent, you can even take off your gloves and use some kind of heater.

Also, if you have a tent, you are not afraid of the wind, you can wait out a strong blizzard in it.

Thirdly, in the tent you can hide from prying eyes: no one sees what the fisherman is doing, what tackle he uses, what fish he pulls out, what bait and bait he prepares.

Cons of fishing in a tent:

Low mobility, extra cargo in addition to the already difficult fishing equipment, and small overview for the fisherman himself.

Most popular models

The best premium tents for winter fishing

Among such models, according to the reviews of fishermen, the three leaders include:

Tramp Ice fisher 180

It is made of two layers of 100% polyester, it is wind and moisture resistant. The tent has only one entrance, so users are not afraid of drafts. Thanks to large size up to three people can fit into the tent without any problems.

The tent is in the form of a hexagon, the walls of which are not blown through, and the arcs are not afraid of deformation. Also included are six wind guards. A 20-cm wide “skirt” sewn from the bottom provides additional protection from precipitation and piercing wind. Two special openings provide good ventilation. This model has different colors and can accommodate two people.

This is a two-layer tent in the shape of a hemisphere. Has a special impregnation of the outer layer, which provides water and wind resistance. The inner layer is a fine mesh.
You can safely take such a tent for two fishermen and go on hikes of average difficulty.

Inexpensive winter fishing tents

Penguin 2 Arctic

It is the most popular model and has a good price-quality ratio. It is made of two-layer fabric, therefore it perfectly protects against bad weather conditions. It has a small weight, well-thought-out shape, so with this one you can move on the ice without disassembling it. Designed for two people.

The advantage of this 3 person umbrella tent is that it is easy and simple to set up. There is a loop inside the shelter where you can hang a lantern, and a special “skirt” sewn on the outside will reliably protect you from bad weather. There is a window and a fairly large entrance.

DIY fishing table

If you have to lay your fishing gear, baits and groundbait on the ground, then it is time to purchase or make a do-it-yourself bait table for fishing. The cost of such a device in shops for fishermen is quite high, so you can simply adapt any folding table for this purpose. It is also quite easy to make such a table for fishing with your own hands.

A fishing table is an irreplaceable thing for summer fishing... You can place everything you need on it: bait, bait and other fishing accessories.

By using an attachment such as an attachment table, the fisherman does not need to be distracted, so he can concentrate entirely on the fishing process.

Homemade fishing tables are subdivided into:

• on the materials of the legs and frame. For these purposes, metal or PVC materials can be used;
• according to the materials from which the tabletop is made. It can be a sheet of plastic, laminate, aluminum or galvanized;
• by design - simple (non-collapsible) and assembly tables, which have both their advantages and disadvantages. A small, non-collapsible table is more difficult to transport, as it requires more space than a folding one.

When you decide to make a do-it-yourself fishing attachment table, you can be sure that it will meet all your needs.

When purchasing a table in a fishing store, it can be difficult to find exactly what you need - in terms of size, convenience and reliability.

For example, you can make a non-folding table out of a plastic tray.

To do this, you need to stock up on:

1. A tray that will act as a table top. Select the sizes based on your individual preferences so that all fishing tackle can be placed on the working surface.
2. PVC pipes, which are used for laying electrical cables.
3. Angles for attaching the attachment table legs.
4. Plugs.
5. Self-tapping screws.

From PVC pipes a frame for the table top is made, which is fixed with self-tapping screws. Corners are attached to the edges of the frame, to which the legs are attached with glue or a soldering iron.

Most often, in order to make a do-it-yourself attachment table, aluminum is used. This material allows you to get a fairly durable and lightweight table. In this case, aluminum is used for both corners and countertops.

Such a necessary thing for a fisherman as a fishing table can be made in several ways.

The first requires the following materials:

• aluminum corner (for the frame);
• aluminum pipes;
• window sill or metal sheet.

It is advisable to take tubes of different diameters, which will allow you to adjust the height of the table.

The second version of the fisherman's table involves making it from aluminum sheet, without using corners. The sides on the working surface are made by bending the edges of the metal sheet.

For work you will need:

• aluminum sheet;
• metal strip;
• metal pipe.

Legs are made of a metal tube, a frame is made of a strip.

A Brief Comparative Review of Ice Fishing Winter Tents

Comparative review of tents for winter fishing

Let's start by not looking at homemade products and Chinese bouncers. Certainly a person whose hands grow out of the right place can do for himself exactly what he wants to see and have. Suffice it to recall the program of the 70s "You Can Do It".

But there are only a few such handicraftsmen among the multimillion army of winter fishing lovers. In addition, people used to build and craft something either because it was their hobby, or because this type of product was simply impossible to buy due to its complete absence.

The fisherman is currently facing a different challenge. How from the variety of tents presented on Russian market, choose a good, high-quality product that would fully meet his requirements.

There are practically few manufacturers of tents for winter fishing in Russia.

In addition, tents are brought to us from abroad. Despite the fact that the manufacturers indicate well-known European brands, the real "European" quality is made with the rarest exception in Asia. From abroad, tents of two types are brought to us: bad and expensive. Bad tents are characterized by a low price, as well as use in the manufacture of cheap low-quality materials. In short, you will see a cheap imported tent - it is better to stay away from it.

Expensive imported tents are quite another matter, these are Things with capital letter... I don't want to create advertising for anyone, but if you see a tent, one to one similar to the designs of domestic manufacturers, but emphatically elegant, stylish, and at the same time solid, without strange "bells and whistles", at a price of $ 250-300 - most likely before you is a worthy thing. If the money allows, you will be satisfied.

What to look for when buying a winter tent

So what do we pay attention to first of all when we are faced with the choice of which tent to buy.

1. Tent dimensions (for how many people).
2. Purpose of use (either it is a trip for one day and, accordingly, the need for protection from possible precipitation and wind, or it is a trip for two or three days, involving night fishing and spending the night in a tent on the ice).
3. The structure of the tent.
4. The quality of the materials used.
5. Resistance of the structure to strong winds and frosts.
6. Easy to assemble and disassemble.
7. Installation time.

Fabrics for winter tents

Let's first dwell on the fabrics from which the tents are made. As a rule, all manufacturers who value their name and use high-quality materials in the manufacture of a tent must indicate in the specification for the tent the specific characteristics of the fabrics used.

The name of the fabric encodes its main properties and characteristics. Namely:

• thread type (Nylon, Polyester (or simply Poly), Kapron, Lavsan, etc.);
• thread weaving method (Taffeta, Oxford, Rip Stop);
• weave density in tex units (185T, 190T, 210T, etc.) - the number of longitudinal and transverse threads per square inch;
• the thickness of the threads in units of Den (70D, 75D, 210D, etc.);
• the presence of a polyurethane and (or) silicone water-repellent coating, respectively - PU and (or) SI;
• water resistance in millimeters of water column (450, 3000, 6000, 10000, etc.).

As a result, the name of the fabric may look like this: Poly Taffeta 210T PU 3000, which means: polyester fabric of the Taffeta weave type with a weaving density of 210T, polyurethane coating, waterproof under the pressure of a 3000 mm high water column.

Describing the properties of materials, first of all, I would like to say about the main types of fabrics (for now, without touching on density and waterproofness). And there are two types of fabrics: from polyamide and polyester fibers. Both species, under equal conditions, are almost equally light and elastic; both species are equally common. But there are differences worth paying attention to.

Polyamide fabrics (Capron, Nylon) are tear-resistant, hydroscopic, abrasion-resistant and relatively cheap. But they are easily stretchable when wet and are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation (under its influence, they lose up to 40% of their strength per year). Polyester fabrics (Lavsan, Polyester) are distinguished by high resistance to stretching when wet, "immune" to ultraviolet light and a higher price.

As for the method of weaving the fabric, without going into technical details, it should be said that Taffeta is the most common weaving method, Oxford is successfully used in the manufacture of the bottom of the tent, and Rip Stop is a kind of reinforcement. If the tag of a camping tent says Rip Stop, it means that the fabric is reinforced with a thick, especially strong thread with a pitch of 2 to 10 mm. That is, the Rip Stop is a kind of frame that makes the fabric especially resistant to tearing.

The size and purpose of the tent

As a rule, tents of small size and weight are used for day trips. Here the main role, in our opinion, is the ease of assembly and disassembly, installation time, the resistance of the structure to strong winds, the ability to quickly move the tent and change the place of fishing.

Accordingly, the frame-arc structure is not very suitable for these purposes. It is unrealistic to carry the assembled tent. A tent of this design is set up by one person in 5 minutes without wind, and with wind for at least 10 minutes. In case of windy weather, you first need to open the bottom and only then thread the arcs into the sleeves of the awning and fix them in the eyelets at the corners of the tent.

Another disadvantage of this design is the four-sided projection of the floor. In windy weather, such a structure is prone to twisting, and the walls are "blown" inward, reducing the useful volume.

Probably the most common in this type are the HOLIDAY ICE type tents.

The plus of these tents - small price and weight. There are no more pluses. The tent itself is made of cheap materials, the seams are not welded, the small diameter of the frame arcs leads to the fact that they often burst under wind loads. There is usually no ventilation. The set does not include self-tapping screws for fixing the tent. According to the manufacturers themselves, “to securely set up the Holiday Fishing tent on ice, the included set of hooks is used, with which it is attached to the edges of the under-drilled holes” ...
There is also an upgraded HOLIDAY EASY ICE model.

The umbrella system is already in use here. Only the disadvantages remain the same. The same inexpensive materials, lack of good ventilation, attachment to the edges of under-drilled holes ...

Questions also arise about the quality of the plastic from which the snap lock of the umbrella system is made. It is located at the top of the outer side of the awning.

It is unclear how he will behave if sleet or rain first falls, and then a little frost hits. And in windy weather it will be difficult to put up such a tent.

After all, again, the manufacturer himself writes:

Without applying significant force, pull on the automatic mechanism at the top of the tent until it is triggered.
An automatic mechanism will fix the tent in working order.
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF PERFORMING THE 3 AND 4 STEPS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO STEP ONE FOOT THROUGH THE THRESHOLD.

Accordingly, even with a not very strong wind, the wall of the tent will be "blown" inward at the junction of the folding arches. And you will have to pull up the automatic lock with one hand, and with the other, bending, straighten the compound arc ...

You can consider as an example one more model of an umbrella single-seat tent PIK-ZONT 1.

The manufacturer indicates the specific materials of the awning, there is one ventilation window with a tube, the frame is made of duralumin bar and has a four-beam structure. However, the cons remain the same.

If we talk in general about the disadvantages of the umbrella design of the PIK-ZONT, ​​NELMA, NADEZHDA, SPECIALIST tents, then the main thing is that the frame is inside the tent awning. This means that in spite of the umbrella structure of the latter, in order to spread the tent, you will have to climb inside.

At the same time, with one hand it is necessary to press up on the bottom of the umbrella structure, and with the other hand, pull it down by the lace. Then fix the umbrella in the assembled position with a pin. In strong winds, this will create additional difficulties, since the wind will blow into the walls of the tent and the lower knee of the arc will tend to fold inward. So the best option to pitch this tent in the wind - two people. One with outside holds the arc so that it does not fold, and the second - inside the tent - assembles the structure itself.

There is one more small "BUT", which for some reason everyone forgets. Already in the assembled state, the umbrella structure itself (meaning the pin on which this structure is assembled) has a length of at least 17 cm. Plus, the needles diverge from it in different directions. Accordingly, if the height of the tent is indicated, for example, 1.80m., In reality, inside it will be about 17 cm. Less. So during fishing, you are guaranteed to bang your head against it several times.

Besides. In the frame of these tents (as the manufacturers write) "duralumin bar made of alloy B95T1" is used. This is definitely a plus. BUT: in expensive and high-quality tent of foreign production, the arches of the frame are made from expensive dural alloys of the EASTON 7075 T9 brand, 7001 from AMG (aluminum-magnesium alloy) of Korean production. Arcs made of these alloys have practically no "memory".

Russian manufacturers cannot always afford such a luxury, therefore, for production they use dural alloys of the D16T and B95 brands, which do not withstand competition in quality, but are much cheaper. If a tent with such a frame is ripped off by a gust of wind and carried across the ice (which happens quite often), the arcs of the frame will be almost 100% bent. You will have to straighten them. Accordingly, the structure of the frame will be violated, which will invariably lead to difficulties during the subsequent assembly and disassembly of the tent.

Ice fishing tents for two or more people

PIK-ZONT 2, NELMA-2 (NELMA-2 LUX), NELMA-3 (NELMA-3 LUX), Nadezhda, SPECIALIST - this is perhaps the most complete list of the names of tents for two or more people, as well as tents used for night fishing.

The first three models have a hexagon at the base, Nadezhda and Specialist - a pentahedron.

They all have an umbrella build system. The frame is made of duralumin bar. All models have a frame inside the awning.

Of course, the hexagonal floor configuration outperforms the four-and-pentahedron. This design of the tent is the most wind-resistant, with strong gusts of wind, the arcs do not "twist" and the walls of the tent are practically not "blown" inward.

However, the umbrella frame of this type of tent has significant drawbacks.
Since at night fishing fishermen use tiles, lamps for heating; inside the tent, even if there is ventilation, condensation inevitably occurs. Accordingly, since the frame is made of a metal bar, moisture inevitably gets into the joints.

As noted above, the frame is located inside the awning. Therefore, in windy weather, for a faster installation of the tent, it is desirable to involve two people - one will hold the tent in the wind, and the second will have to climb inside and assemble the "umbrella". Accordingly, to facilitate the dismantling of the tent, it will be necessary to perform the same operation, only in reverse order... Of course, even one person can assemble and disassemble these models, but this will take much more time.

Maverick ICE winter tents

Let's now take a look at the MAVERICK ICE tents

The frame of MAVERICK tents is as reliable and simple as anything ingenious. It is made of high quality fiberglass and is not much heavier than the frame made of B95T1 duralumin alloy, however, if the tent is ripped off, the arcs will spring and not deform. The design of the tent is such that at the top, outside the awning, there is a round collet, in which the ends of the arcs are attached.

The arc has three segments. The first knee (from the top of the tent) and the second are connected using a spring-loaded lock with a collar that snaps into place in one motion.

In this case, the lower lock, between the middle and lower knee, automatically clicks itself.

The upper collet and the locks on the arcs are made of ABS-Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene - this is an impact-resistant technical thermoplastic resin based on a copolymer of acrylonitrile with butadiene and styrene (the name of the plastic is formed from the initial letters of the names of monomers). Among other properties of this material:

• Increased impact resistance and elasticity
• Non-toxic
• Durability
• Resistant to alkalis and detergents
• Moisture resistance
• Oil resistance
• Acid resistance
• Heat resistance 150 ° C Wide operating temperature range (-40 ° C to +80 ° C)

Tent for winter fishing MAVERICK ICE 1, most fully meets all the requirements of a single tent.
As noted above, this model is single and its main purpose is to protect against bad weather and wind during one-day trips. The floor of the tent is a square with a side of 120 cm. Height - 150 cm.

The material from which the tent is made is Polyester Ripstop 180Т, impregnation with PU 1500 mm, the seams are welded. Around the perimeter of the tent is a skirt 20 cm wide.Tent set includes 8 pieces of steel screws, 19 cm long.

The unique design of the frame of the MAVERICK –RAPIDEX QUICK ERECT SYSTEM allows you to assemble the tent in 20 seconds. You don’t need to thread the bars of the frame into the sleeves of the awning - all you need to do is take the tent out of the packing bag, snap on the specially designed four-arm collar locks and your tent is ready to use. Moreover, due to the external frame, this assembly operation takes the same time both in quiet and windy weather. Despite the small size, there are two ventilation tubes in the tent, which, if necessary, can be either opened or closed; a mesh shelf is suspended under the ceiling for small items; pockets are sewn into the walls on three sides, which can also be used for various small items.

Tents MAVERICK ICE 2, 3, 4, 5

All models except ICE 3 use POLYESTER RIPSTOP 180Т, PU 1500 mm for the production of tent awnings, all seams are welded, a 20 cm wide calendered polyethylene skirt is sewn on the bottom of the tent. The ICE 3 model is made of POLYESTER OXFORD 150D. All models are equipped with steel screws in the amount of 12 pieces (6 pieces for rasping the bottom and 6 pieces for additional wind guards). Inside the tent opposite the entrance there is a zippered window, above the entrance and above the window there are two closable ventilation tubes, a pocket for small items is sewn into each wall of the tent, and a mesh shelf is stretched under the roof for various small items.

All of these models have a hexagonal design.
Model ICE 2 measures 190 (l) x 220 (w) x 160 (h)
ICE 3 and ICE 4 dimensions: 220 (l) x 255 (w) x 170 (h)
ICE 5 dimensions: 260 (l) x 300 (w) x 175 (h).
The quick-assembly frame is made of fiberglass bows with a diameter of 9.5 mm.

The color of all tent models is yellow / orange. Therefore, even on the most cloudy day, it is light in the tent. The manufacturer gives a five-year guarantee for the quick-assembly tent frame. Moreover, in the event of a breakdown, the arc with locks changes completely. The process of replacing the arc is extremely simple and any user can easily change it.

Everything stated in the article is my personal opinion. However, having been fond of winter fishing for more than a dozen years, I can say with full responsibility that I have never had a better tent than MAVERICK ICE.

Well, in conclusion, a few photos taken directly on the fishing trip.

Real anglers never share their favourite hobby by the seasons. Both hot summers and frosty winters bring them great pleasure, so the most seasoned adventurers do not refuse the opportunity to fish even in the most severe frost. And a good shelter from the icy cold is a tent, inside which there is a cot for winter fishing. More about her.

These items can be purchased at a fishing store. But if no one sells such a product at the place of residence, then it can be bought via the Internet. In the second case, specialized sites always present a wide range of goods at competitive prices. Therefore, there should be no problems with the purchase.

• there is a layer of heat-retaining coating;
• the design has a reinforced metal frame;
• if the chair is put on the thickness of snow, then this will not affect the stability in any way.

Such a chair for winter fishing is capable of retaining the heat emanating from a seated person. Therefore, a fisherman who comes fishing can stay on the pond for a long time and not freeze there. And if the angler does not feel comfortable, then his attention will be concentrated not on the tackle, but on keeping himself warm. This is an undeniable advantage. When choosing a folding chair it is recommended to use the following rules:

However, the principle of choosing a product is the same as with a clamshell. You should carefully inspect the structure and do not hesitate to check the strength. If flaws are found on the product, then you should not buy it.

Attention, only TODAY!

Many fishermen prefer to fish all year round... For them, it makes no difference when to fish - in summer or winter. Naturally, fishing in summer is completely different. You don't need to prepare for it as you would for the winter one. The presence of strong cold outside forces anglers to prepare especially carefully for fishing.

For fishing to be effective, you will have to spend a lot of time on the pond. If you do not prepare thoroughly, then hypothermia is ensured, which will entail a cold and, as a result, bed rest.

What you need to have for this:

• Comfortable, warm clothing.
• Waterproof, warm shoes.
• Nice, warm tent.
• A place to sleep.
• Comfortable armchair.
• Snack table.

This is a list for spending time fishing with an overnight stay, which can make fishing efficient and your vacation unforgettable.

Ice fishing furniture

If it's freezing outside, then you can't sit on a folding chair for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to have warm and comfortable furniture.

Such furniture can be purchased in specialized stores or on the Internet by finding the necessary sites. The latter option is more preferable, since Internet resources always have a larger assortment of similar goods, which allows you to purchase not what is available, but what is more suitable.

What is the difference between winter and outdoor furniture?

The difference is quite tangible, since the operating conditions are completely different. For example:

• Winter furniture is made of frost-resistant materials.
• The fabrics that are used have a heat-retaining effect, which allows you to keep warm even in the most severe frosts.
• Winter furniture is somewhat stronger, as it has to withstand heavy loads.

Take at least the factor that a person puts on several layers of clothing. The weight and dimensions of the angler are increasing. Therefore, furniture is made exactly from this calculation.

Clamshell and its features

The cot for winter fishing has a slightly different design, compared to that which can be seen in the country or in a private house.

The design features are as follows:

• It is much heavier.
• The clamshell kit includes a warm cover that allows you to comfortably sit on it in the most unfavorable moments.
• The construction of the product is made up of durable and reliable materials.
• The fabric used in the construction retains heat and does not allow moisture to pass through.

The advantage of a clamshell for winter fishing is that it is easy to transport. Despite its size and weight, associated with the use of special fabrics and durable metal, it folds to such a size that it fits freely in the trunk of a car. This suggests that it is just as convenient to store as it is to transport: it does not take up much space.

In the process of acquiring it, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. The strength of the metal structure and its reliable fixation in any position: both assembled and disassembled.
2. The quality of the fabric and its stitching. Otherwise, the characteristics of the product will not correspond to the declared ones.
3. Carefully read the instructions in order to understand how much weight it can withstand without negative consequences... Otherwise, the clamshell will not last long.

To choose the right folding bed, you need to add another 15-20 kilograms to your weight, no less.

Fishing chair

A winter fishing chair is quite different from the usual folding chair, the kind that fishermen take with them on a fishing trip in the summer.

The chair structure consists of:

• Made of durable metal frame.
• Heat-retaining coating.
• Made of waterproof coating.
• The structure can be easily and securely installed even on snow.

A chair for winter fishing has all the positive advantages that can provide any angler with comfortable fishing conditions, regardless of weather conditions. In this regard, it should be noted that winter fishing in such conditions can bring no less positive emotions than summer fishing.

When choosing a chair for winter fishing, it is better to take a closer look at:

1. With the quality of the frame material. It must be a strong, durable and reliable material.
2. With the technique of sewing the fabric. These should be smooth, high-quality seams, without any flaws.
3. With the reliability of fastening the fabric to the structure. This is necessary so that the fabric is not accidentally blown away by the wind.
4. And the last thing is how much weight the chair structure is designed for. The selection rule is the same as when choosing a clamshell.

Careful study is necessary in order not to miscalculate. After all, not every expensive thing is of enviable quality. It is important to find (and there are always) products that are of acceptable quality and not quite "biting" prices.

Advantages of a clamshell for winter fishing

When choosing a cot for winter fishing, you should pay attention to any little things that in one way or another can have a negative impact on the process of winter fishing.

But first, it's better to decide whether you need a clamshell at all and why you need it. The folding bed can:

• Protect from cold in all temperature conditions.
• Give the opportunity to spend the night and start fishing in the morning, in a good mood and vigor of the body.
• The structure is located at some distance from the ground, which protects a person from the cold from below.
• The special coating creates warmth and comfort, which makes it possible to sleep soundly.
• The folding bed can freely fit into any, even a single tent.
• Due to its small size when folded, it is easy to transport and store.

The issue of purchasing a clamshell is especially acute when fishing stretches for several days, which can lead to hypothermia of the body. In this case, without a clamshell, well, absolutely nothing.

Manufacturers

On the market for such products, there are furniture for winter fishing, both domestic and imported. All models differ in price, quality, functionality and durability.

Domestic manufacturers

It is characterized by the fact that it meets all the standards and requirements that fishermen place on products.

In other words, there are products on the market that can be selected depending on financial capabilities, without losing quality and functionality.

How to make a clamshell for winter fishing with your own hands

Whatever the prices are, ice fishing furniture costs a lot of money. Not every angler is ready to shell out a tidy sum for such a useful thing. To save money, there is another, rather cheap option - making such products yourself. The task is greatly simplified if there is some experience in the manufacture of such furniture. Self-production has a number of advantages. For example:

• Prove to family and friends that there are skills and abilities.
• Save money for your family budget.
• Design a product based on your requirements.
• Create a unique design that does not repeat itself.

Phased production

First you have to prepare everything necessary tools, such as:

• Metal blanks for the frame.
• Moving structural elements.
• Fasteners for connecting fixed parts of the structure.
• Springs.
• Finishing fabric.
• Thermal fabric to save heat.
• Threads.
• Needles.
• Sewing machine for thick fabrics.

How is it made:

• First you need to find a suitable place to work. There should be enough space, since the structure is not small.
• The second stage is the creation of a drawing on which a diagram of the future product will be displayed.
• After that, they begin to manufacture the frame of the future clamshell.
• After assembling the frame and checking it for operability (the ability to unfold and fold), they begin to fasten the springs.
• The pallet fabric is attached to the springs.
• The heat-resistant cover is sewn separately. It can then be attached to the clamshell. Alternatively, you can not do this, but wear it only when you need it.

Fishing is a very interesting and rewarding activity. It provides an opportunity not only to catch fish, but also to relax, gaining strength and energy for the future. But if a fisherman, having gone fishing, sits near the boat and freezes, then there can be no question of rest. Most likely, it should be said that he will spend the next week in bed, taking various medications.

In this regard, you should always think about the consequences, providing yourself with warm clothing and warm furniture. This is especially true if fishing is not designed for one daylight hours.
