Got a rapala 6 man hut. It’s massive, but sometimes, like half the time, I’ll be fishing solo. There’s a 2 man woods hut on clearance here for 70$, reg 300. Will it be a lot easier to fish with a smaller hut alone? Both are pop ups so I’m thinking it might not make much of a difference 6 man over 2 man(really a 1 man)

Are you at a Canadian Tire in Florida or something ? No deals like the ones you are getting out east/northeast ?

Which one or ones you shopping at ? Just changing stores on your internet surfing ?

Thanks and great deals you got so far.

PS Could you lend me some cash ??

That's a great deal on the woods 2 man pop-up. Where did you find that deal ... if you don't mind my asking? For that price, I'd by the 2 man as well.

can never have too much equipment or room. Thing is with the 6 man and alone in a bit of a breeze would be a pain setting up and taking down. Basic rule of thumb add 1 person to the item description for comfort.
Myself got 1 one man flip for those days alone and minimal snow
2 man popup for those days with deep snow and alone
and a 6 man popup for those days I got company
With this combo can mix and match to most situations

If its windy youd never get a 6 man setup by yourself lol. Even my 3 man by myself is a handfull with anchors already in place on windward side lol.

So I picked the "2" (1) man hut up, I couldn't pass that deal up with all the pros it had.

I think the 2 man was a wise choice. A 6 man is hard to do on your own if it’s the ones that look like two cubes together. I have a quickfish 5 which is a pentagon. It’s fairly easy for me even in the wind and is very roomy. I can even put the sled in there. But some days I miss my rapala 2 man hub when the cold is eating the heat from the buddy.
