QUICKFISH 4
ASSEMBLY AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove ice shelter from backpack carrying bag. Remove the tie
strap from around the shelter.
2. Lay the ice shelter flat on the ground and be completely sure there
is no material twisted or overlapping
the ends of any poles. SEE FIgURE 1.
DO NOT force shelter when folding.
Watch for entanglement of poles.
NOTE: In windy conditions and before
pulling outward on the roof or walls to
pop open the shelter, securely anchor
at all corners with provided ice an-
chors. See step 6 for instructions. This
will prevent shelter from blowing away
when setting up in windy conditions.
3. Grasp the webbing loop sewn onto
the eyelet located in the center of the
roof and pull outward until the roof
section pops open. SEE FIgURE 2.
4. Grasp the webbing loop sewn onto
the eyelet located in the center
of one of the walls and pull out-
ward so that the wall pops open.
SEE FIgURE 3.
NOTE: Place your foot on the ground
skirt to help hold the shelter in place
when popping open the walls.
5. Proceed by walking around entire
shelter and pulling on each wall
webbing loop to pop out each
wall until all sides are popped out.
SEE FIgURE 4.
NOTE: There are four (4) wall sec-
tions on the QUICKFISH 4.
6. Your shelter should be standing up
completely. You may now proceed
by anchoring the shelter to the
ice using the provided ice anchors
and rope. Screw four (4) anchors
through the grommets located in
each corner completely. Use the two
(4) provided ropes and tie one end to
the hub eyelet on each wall, and the
other end to an anchor that is already
screwed completely into the ice sev-
eral feet away. Use adjustment slides
on rope to achieve proper tension.
SEE FIgURE 5.
7. Attach the removable Cold Air Barrier
ceiling panel to the inside roof hub
by hooking the snap hook located
in the center of the panel to the
webbing loop that is attached to
the roof hub. You may need to col-
lapse the roof hub inward in order
to reach more easily. Push the roof
hub back outward after attachment
is complete.
8. Attach the two longer sides of the Cold Air Barrier panel to the longer
sides of the shelter (the sides that have the sewn-in air vents on the
walls) by locating the two sew-on tags that say “MUST ATTACH TO
VENT SIDE OF SHELTER.” Secure all Velcro attachment points together
around the entire interior of the shelter.
9. Secure the two side-release buckles found in each upper interior
corner (8 buckles total). Pull the straps tight. This action will help
support the Cold Air Barrier and add some tension to the hubs for
added stability. The Cold Air Barrier will help contain heat within the
shelter while helping to reduce condensation and dripping.

before taking down the shelter and storing in backpack. Release all
interior side release buckles and Velcro attachment points. Unhook
the snap hood from the roof hub and set the Cold Air Barrier panel
off to the side.
NOTE: Zip all doors shut. Do not leave them open. Close all win-
dows and vents.
2. Remove all ropes and ice anchors and store them in the provided pouch.
NOTE: In windy conditions, remove ice anchors after collapsing
the roof and walls inward.
3. Using your hand, push the center hub in on roof and walls un-
til they collapse inward. Shelter will fall to the ice on its own.
SEE FIgURES 6 & 7.
4. The shelter will be back in its flat
stage just as it was when it was
unfolded out of the backpack bag.
Gather all corners of the shelter and
fold together. SEE FIgURE 8. Do
not force the shelter when folding.
Watch for entanglement of poles.
Tightly wrap the Cold Air Barrier
around the folded shelter.
5. Take provided tie strap and wrap
around folded shelter to allow for
easier insertion into backpack. Place
folded shelter back into the backpack carrying case with the hubs
towards the bottom end of bag always. Place the pouch with the
ice anchors and rope into backpack as well.
