Me and a buddy plan on heading up to Nip this weekend for a night, with the new clam big foot 2000xl. Has anyone spent a night in a pop up?

We have a big buddy heater, the ones with the built in fan. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences, what would have made it more comfortable etc.

Cheers

You would need to have something to keep you off the ice as the ice will not only be cold, but wet as well. You would need foldable cots or something

We have some plastics boards, 1/4' thick but 4x4 we'll be laying that down first then our chairs ontop. We wont be laying down on the floor just sitting in our chairs. Lots of antifreeze will help us sleep sitting down haha

Ensure it is well marked. Reflectors and glow sticks.
Nothing will spoil your night faster than a snowmobile plowing thru your hut in the middle of the night.
