I was looking at shelters and I saw a Frabill Hideout for sale at a gandermountain. I have no info on this model and I was wondering if anyone knows how durable, useful, and if it is a great shelter for $270. If you can please post some answers it would really help. Thanks.
Good luck. My neighbor says it. My wife says it. But I don't listen to it. I find the pattern. I find the fish. And luck has nothing to do with it. Luck is just an excuse for bad fishing. - Abu Garcia Co.

Here's a link to Frabill's website with some information and specs for one of the Hideout models. I hope that helps out some.

hello, to help out a little with yer question, the hideout is very nice Ive got the ranger xlt, I thought Id choose that over the hideout for the room, but the hideout has plenty of room also ,they are made very well , Im not sure if the hideout comes with the chairs still they use to, its fairly light if I remember right less than 50 pounds, mine is 90 pounds plus all my gear 160 pounds total. I couldnt see getting a one man shanty, you never get to get out with the dad ,grandpa, wife or kids.all the frabill models go up fairly quick mine takes less than a minute. but  If I could choose again I would definately go with a lighter model but thats just my preferance, If you walk far as I do then weight becomes an issue. hope this helps
