Works really well if ya lock it down with th spreader poles. I always have a few 5 gal buckets to fill with water also for extra wieght. This will be the first time with the foam floor. Might be a love/ hate relationship have to see tomorrow
Sketchy to say the least. The wind opened a huge body of water the other night.like 50 to 80 yards behind me was open yesterday. I was on 4 + ice but warm tomorrow so afternoon till dark is out for me on Carey.
First trip out with the OTTER for a couple hours this afternoon. Thermal insulation is awsome. Had some chasers but no takers. Kinda just to stretch the line and muck around with my set up.
Thinking of a smitty sled for slush and snow. Ran from a home made sled on skis years ago get it up out of the snow makes wonders. I think I'm also going back to an alcohol stove. Hate propane
95 lbs empty. My old Otter was 80lbs
On ice not a big deal but in snow not so fun. Warm priceless lol Worth the drag be sides I go for the long haul and stay all day. With thermal insulation I can leave the bigbuddy home and just bring my micro stove for Java
That alone saves on a lot of wieght
