LONG TERM STORAGE TIPS
Always make sure your ice shelter is completely dry before
storing for long periods of time. Storing your ice shelter
when damp or wet may cause mold and mildew damage.
• Clean all salt, moisture and debris from your shelter
skin, sled and poles. Wipe down poles with a wet rag.
• Store skin, poles an sled in a cool, dry place away
from rodents.
(A)
Takedown requires the same process used to deploy
the shelter except in reverse.
(B)
Be sure to close all window covers to prevent tearing
or tangling of this excess fabric with the framework.
3
(A)
Be sure to carefully fold all loose shelter skin inward
to prevent any tearing of the fabric. Damage to the skin
should be expected if the skin is not properly stowed
prior to travel.
(B)
Using the framework you should be able to “tuck”
each skin section in between the pole assemblies, locking
it in place, and safely containing the skin within the sled.
TIP:
When hauling large amounts of gear, it will be easier
to collapse the sled and correctly pack the skin first before
all gear is repacked into the sled. With increased use, each
user will develop their own way of packing that is easiest
for that person.

(A)
To set up your new Eskimo flip shelter make sure the skin
is not tangled or pinched in anyway as this could prevent the
framework from being able to extend fully.
(B)
Starting at the front side of the shelter, locate the bottom
framework, and slowly extend this assembly out until an
audible “click” is heard, notifying you the framework is locked
in the extended position.
SETUP/TAKEDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
(A)
While pulling extended bottom pole over your head,
reach for next poles and extend them.
(B)
Repeat step 2a until the remaining framework
assemblies are fully extended and the shelter is deployed.
TIP:
At this point the shelter is usable as the spreader poles
are not necessary when the skin has been properly attached
as described earlier in this manual. Spreader poles are to
be used in inclement weather conditions.
WIND BLOCK POSITION: The rear (#27730) adjustable
spreader pole can be used to create a partially open
shelter position that works well in blocking “light winds”
on otherwise nice fishing days.
See Figure 13.

OPTIONAL IN-SKIRT ANCHOR GROMMETS:
This shelter model also includes in-skirt grommets to aid in
conditions where little snow is present on the ice. An ice anchor
can be installed in each corner of the shelter to keep the skirt flat
to the ice. Sealing out the elements.
Ice Anchor 2-Packs (#69138) are sold separately and are available
online at GetEskimo.com.
