Abstract:
A transportable shelter providing convective heat and a heated seat for the user's comfort, and providing heat to prevent the formation of ice in an enclosed fish hole when ice-fishing. Generally a box-like design, where the front of the box has no bottom or top, and is placed over a fish hole when ice-fishing. The rear of the box has a seat mounted thereon over a partial bottom, overlooking the front opening. A heat source is placed on the partial bottom, under a heat deflector, creating a heating chamber which provides heat for the seat, directs escaping heat to the user, and which will keep a fish hole from freezing over. A canopy frame attaches, over which a tarp can be draped containing heat and providing additional shelter from extreme weather. A sled or wagon assembly is provided for pulling the unit out to a spot for ice-fishing or hunting.
