Re: ice hut material
I have seen steel studs used they are 1/3 lighter than wood and you can insulate inside the shack
6x8 shack is a good size you may want to find an old pair of skis and bolt them on the bottom of the shack
as for you fat old butt only suggestion i have for that if you don't like the cold you could watch fishing video's on you tube
right in the confort of your home

Re: ice hut material
thanks fishin mission,
will be insulating it,
as for my butt , you tube thingy , sounds like a plan but due to my country address I am only able to use you tube/net flix as a short story. unless I want to put a second
mortgage on the house. so
I will opt out to sippin a fine bevvy in my wood heated basement lookin at the ice and frozen critters, occasionally moving before the rig sets in
