In the process of doing this for 2nd Rifle Colorado this year. More of a cost based decision, we already own a 6 person Eskimo Pop Insulated Shelter. Had plans to rent a trailer but that fell through, and its a bit late to buy anything else. Drooling over the Seek Courthouse though...

It will be just my wife and I, with cots and some cooking stuff. We used to camp out on the ice in ND with a buddy heater and ice fish over the weekends in -20. My only concern is carbon monoxide and condensation so we are looking to add a stove jack and buy a wood stove. Rain problem is easily solved by using a tarp over top. Will report back after season to let you guys know how it goes.
Thanks. Will be interested to hear your report! If I ever have time again, I'm planning to mod out my eskimo outbreak.

My dream list would be to:
-sew up a made-to-fit silnylon roof
-add a stove jack
-cut in a roof of some sort
-sew up velcro bug screens for the windows
-trucker tarp floor.

But first I need my job and my classes to realize this is way more important than what they have in store for me. 🙃
