As a teenager in the 70s, my dates and I found that having a nice ice house sure was a huge upgrade from the back seat of my Chevelle. Sometimes I even used it for fishing.

[@tonyadurst-scarlett1542]

😂😊

[@Kyle-ky2po]

I too remember that smell 🐟 👧

[@tahroy28]

[@BassinBarbless]

Kelso?

[@greywolf97883]

Your going to need to get rid of that vent free propane heater. It puts out 1 pint of water for every gallon of Propane it burns.

[@jakeporter8476]

After your done cleaning the slush out of your holes, take the bucket of slush and splatter it where your back tires will be when you would be ready to hook up and leave the area. This splattered slush will re freeze and create traction for your rear tires. The tires on your fish house will get sunk in with flooding and the snow you used to bank the house. The refrozen slush will save you a headache in the future when you want to hook up and leave. I also throw some slush outside the entry door, so there is no one slipping going in and out of the fish house. Congratulations on the new house!

[@CG-lk6pk]

Good tip brother 👍

[@cagneybillingsley2165]

how can anyone like fishing this much. i don't get it

[@GG-kc6ie]

​@@cagneybillingsley2165 You don't need to get it, just find something you enjoy doing and do it. It would be a boring world if everybody enjoyed doing the same thing to the same level.

[@markl1903]

It would be really nice to show us what Ice Shanty looks like from the outside!

[@doncherry2541]

He doesn’t want anyone stealing his spots

[@mylennyuym]

I agree something is 'fishy' about not showing the outside!!!!

[@my_flippin_journey]

@Don Mordecai .. *Listening is Fundamental* .. lol .. I'm sure they just missed it @ 13:49

[@larrystolzman9337]

Sobi: you mentioned the beauty of a cold winter morning. I totally agree. In the mid to late 70s I was working in Black River Falls, WI. On one January morning, as I left my motel room, it was sunny, clear, crisp, calm and -40 degrees below zero without the wind chill. Any moisture in the air was frozen and glistened like mini rainbows in sky. So beautiful, so awesome, such a memory. What an amazing morning and my car even started. I was truly blessed to experience such a day of God’s breath taking creation. Stay safe! God Bless!

[@sobifishing]

That is a cool memory, well said again Larry!

[@supergremlin6261]

Man I’m Florida boy born n raised, grew up fishing way off shore to the bank of a lake or pond. Never been ice fishing always wanted to. Had a few guys I use to work on the road with from Minnesota we’re supposed to take me a couple years ago but Covid ruined that! If I had one of these shanty’s, I’d be in that thing butt naked fishing!

[@scottganrud751]

Thanks fir supporting the independent bait and gas stations. Keep the $$ in the local economy.

[@deepsea5107]

Now that is one nice ice "shack"! A former co-worker of mine and his brothers pooled their money and bought a setup similar to yours. However, they aren't into ice fishing. They use it as a snowmobile camp. They figure out what area they want to ride their sleds for the winter and then find a body of water to set up their "camp" on. Cheaper than buying the land and stick & brick camp; plus their "camp" can be easily moved if they want to explore a different area.

[@wolfpackmanko0668]

First aid kit, good cast iron pan 16 inch for big families, 12 for 2! Max flow exhaust fan, shoe rack/box.

[@nschott13]

A quality first aid kit, a small fire extinguisher and I’m assuming you have a small tool kit. But if not, those are the three things I never leave home without. Especially on excursions like this.

[@blaineheiser1031]

cut down a couple pool noodles to about 15'' in length. Screw them to your wall where you fish and hang your most used lures from them. Quick and easy access for you. Also always point your ice house in the direction you need to leave the lake on. That way if it gets blown in you don't have to worry about making a turn on the lake in deeper snow to get off.

[@marcus_stabe]

This is awesome. Congratulations you guys! You've got the co detector and the backup heat source which are important. Keep your propane tanks warm in the real cold temps like we've been having. If it's not too terrible out, I wrap mine with moving blankets. Otherwise you can buy plug in tank warmers through Northern Tool, Amazon etc. Lastly, always make sure wherever the forced air furnace exhaust is outside is facing away from the wind. If the exhaust is facing the wind, it will blow the exhaust back into the house and you'll have co building up in the house. Tight lines Sobi and Steph!

[@sobifishing]

Awesome tips and suggestions, thank you so much for your comment Marcus!

[@ohiohunter5]

How about co detector not co2

[@erichatfield7560]

That's awesome that you pulled the trigger on not just a new shack, but support local shops. My kid talks about ya every time he sees you when you stop in and give support to his work

[@HellaBass]

Ice Fishing, Playing Cribbage and watching Hella Live on the big screen, pretty sweet setup

[@quest2outdoors]

I am so glad for you guys the smiles on your faces tells the whole story super stoked for you guys👍💯

[@sobifishing]

Thank you so much!

[@tkimball861]

Guy idk why but I LOVE ice fishing videos more than any other on any KZbin fishing channels. I ice fish all the time here in Vermont but there’s nothing like morning coffee and ice fishing videos to get you in the right frame of mind for the day 🙌🏻🎣

[@rogerdudra178]

Creature comforts when you're ice fishing are MOST welcome. I recently gave all my ice fishing equipment to a younger man. I figured 50 years of it was enough for me.

[@WheresTheSauce]

Not bad, but there's still room for upgrades. Try looking at solar panels and an AC inverter system to get rid of the generator. Works real slick for my little ice cabin

[@zachburger7126]

One thing to take note. Don't leave the bucket of fish in the shack with you if you stay over night. The fish will go bad. I did it 2 years ago when I kept 30 fish over 3 days of fish went home and told my dad and he said most them were bad from sitting in 60⁰+. Awesome looking fish house

[@Mjones8383]

And thus the Legendary steph the greats legend grows

[@Ehvyy]

Sam Sobi is an ice fishing legend and now his arsenal is unmatched 🤙🏼

[@ExtremeOutdoorsmen]

AGREED BRO!!

[@coasterbrookie]

The main thing I’m concerned about with wheel houses is that I just can’t leave it on a lake for any length of time. I know one guy that has his south of the cities and it was broken into a couple times. Once, they just ruined the door completely. He told me his buddy left his on Circle or near there and went out to it but there wasn’t one there! He never did get it back. If I were to haul it to and from but not leave it at a lake, I’d be ok with that. All that said, I like the layout of your house. Have fun! So nice to have an insulated house!!!

[@jimmykav44]

People suck

[@coasterbrookie]

@@jimmykav44 absolutely. Not all but the ones that do, REALLY SUCK!!

[@davewylie654]

That CO detector down low like yours is mounted is the key. CO is heavier than air so a combo fire/CO alarm up on the ceiling is stupid. Once CO gets up there everyone is already dead. Make sure to always keep one but set it up low!!

[@victorbenner539]

As we get older things that used to seem like luxuries become more like necessities. Being comfortable makes for better memories and gets you out doors longer and more often. Enjoy your new shack. 🐟🎣👍

[@kevinpeters9138]

First time coming across your video... I'm from northern BC Canada.. Grew up in a fishin hut... We had a good first aid, mini fridge (or use the snow outside) blankets, extra propane, change of clothes, tool box.... Great video man!

[@bobbyiszt]

Ok I gotta say that coffee pour had me desperately waiting for tomorrow morning! Just by watching that short second already made me feel satisfied

[@michaelreicks381]

You are starting to aquire a very nice group of toys. Truck, wheeler, boat, shack. Not to mention your awesome cabin on a lake. Can't wait to see what you get next. Keep working hard man, you're killing it.

[@davewylie654]

You were 1000% right on the Mom n Pops. We are losing small business everywhere and it sucks. I try to buy stuff even if i dont need it. A twenty may not mean much to me but it helps their bottom line

[@nickjeffrey8050]

Lol buying stuff when u don’t need it to help out the business 🤦‍♂️

[@evilchaperone]

Oh man. I moved away from the midwest 35 years ago. You going into the local gas and bait shop really hit home. Very nostalgic, especially with Edgar Winter Group - Free Ride playing in the background. I'll be heading over to do some Ice fishing in Michigan and the next few weeks. I'll be sure to share your videos with my knuckleheads. We need to upgrade our fishing accomodations asap. We are using a tent and kerosene heaters. lol.

[@eduffy4937]

Wheelhouse owner tip#1: buy a quality set of tire chains for the tow vehicle. Worth their weight in gold.

[@mnMatt989]

Love it! I told my son Sobi got a fish house and he immediately went to watch the video. He also proceeded to tell me we need to buy a few of the rattle reels!! Great stuff as always and Steph may need to help us all with Crappie tips! :)

[@Thilloutdoors]

I know you’re close to home, but throw a heat gun in your tool bag when headed for the shack. The regulators can be tricky in the MN tundra! Congrats bud!

[@Bricksmasher33]

This guy was on red lake New Years with that advice lol!

[@sobifishing]

Awesome tip, thanks T Hill

[@gesundheit602]

Never having lived in such a cold climate, I would feel apprehensive driving on the ice like that. I realize it’s fine it’s just outside of my experience. 🙂

[@lars_of_the_north]

He removed his seat belt before driving on the ice in case it wasn't fine.

[@613fishing9]

Congrats on the fish house Sam!, next step is to run LED strips around the inside of the whole thing, they are great for hanging out after dark and very low energy to run

[@catchnwithcarter4013]

Plastic forks/ spoons and paper plates and bowls makes it so much easier

[@marksarauer4971]

Yes they do. !!!! The one with the zip tie on it is the one that goes taller out front

[@Torstrum]

lmao "...its -8. seems like some of the coolest mornings are the calmest." no shit everything that moves is dead or sleeping! And did i see a cooler with a fish tank air pump to keep your bait alive? amazing! Best case scenario too! thoughtfully customized by the seller for the same use as the buyer. Seller did custom work with THEIR experience in mind, meaning no cut corners(eg moose lanterns and tv with the nice full swivel wall mount). Seller put their heart and soul into it and it moving on to either upgrade or because of life changes/situations etc and BRILLIANt on releasing the best specimens instead of keeping them! Obviously that leaves those genes in the lakes genepool to breed big fish. Topping it all off you posit an idea that i've never considered; a cold weather ice fishing trailer can double as a year round camper trailer! Amazing!

[@mattz4229]

Not sure how this ended up on my algorithm as I am not a fisherman buy I enjoyed your passion for what you are passionate about. Glad you got what you wanted if not more. Fish on!

[@Burnnskii_Gaming]

I have an old bob-house from when I used to fish with my father as a kid. Looking to restore and refinish it as a clubhouse for my two boys. Lots of ideas seeing yours. Great video.

[@iihype01]

Any one of those fish would've made a great wall mount trophy as a conversation piece.

[@joelwilliams935]

I’ve only just started this video but the fact that your not bragging about StarBucs new w/e and supporting local mom n pop franchises.. I’ve now subscribed to your Chanel

[@davidpacker117]

Just saw this reccomended video. Seeing that ice shack made me a new subscriber. Looking forward to seeing some walleye or muskies pulled in. Very well designed. Great investment.

[@780fishing5]

Nice house! We love ours but it’s got a wood stove in it for the heater 👌🏼 Can’t wait to see more videos in the shack! Love from 🇨🇦

[@zachzeilinger4019]

Congrats And to be set up close to home. Wow Then on night #1 2 crappie at 14+" Epic!!!

[@MetalHead1012]

I've never been ice fishing and only been camping once in a tent . I've always wanted to go ice fishing and this would be PERFECT for me haha. Hopefully someday I get the chance. Awesome ice house!

[@ExtremeOutdoorsmen]

That ICE SHACK Is so SICK!! Congrats on that SOBI, Can't wait for all the videos out of the shanty!!

[@sobifishing]

Thanks Extreme Outdoorsmen, how’s the Ice out your way?

[@alexlucyk8179]

Dry goods pasta, tinned food etc Small cleaning supplies like hotel soaps and stuff. First aid kit for sure ! Start a junk draw, scissors, candles, few rolls of tape, fuses, light bulbs extra blankets. Toilet paper garbage bags. Cooking oil, dish soap. The usual crap you always forget camping lol.

[@jimmy2thymes916]

A crockpot would be a great addition. How awesome would that be to fishing and making a batch of chili or stew??

[@ryanpinkalla]

You had me at decorative moose lights.....

[@sobifishing]

😂😂

[@sjh6953]

That ice house 🔥🔥🔥 this is just the start of epic content!! I can’t wait to see what’s next!!!

[@caninparks4928]

Dream setup man, congratulations. As much as I love my insulated pop up I realize this year I also want the comfort and amenities of a nice ice houses.

[@clarkallen4541]

Sammy living his best life. Congrats man!

[@TwilightVaramek]

also you should get the jackery 1500 for your ice house its a solar power battery bank its 1500 watts and comes with 4 200 watt panels it would be a good substitute to haveing a generator running all night and using up gas you could probably set the jakery up to just run at night on the battery bank and then charge in the day time wile the generator runs that way you'd save yourself some gas especially if all you need to do is turn lights on at night probably wouldn't make much sense to leave a generator running 24/7 wile you sleep

[@katjaamyx2922]

I don't fish at all, haven't held a fishing pole since I was a kid. So this was educational for me. Thanks.

[@dennisthurman8161]

Great video of you alls new fish house,I was wondering about the tv being over the stove though,it won't get too hot there and also get a couple fire extinguishers ,can't be too safe.Were really glad for all your videos and your beautiful girl friend who really knows how to catch fish.Best of luck to you both and we will be watching for the walk around outside.thanks for taking us along.

[@CARLBP]

Great find! Previous owner took great care of it. Many years of enjoyment for you both. Cheers!

[@67FORDTRUCKF250]

I am most impressed with your comment about buying local! Good man!!!!

[@chrislaprise398]

I would recommend placing your tip up bait 2-3 feet of the bottom. Most fish look up for food. Fish passing above may not see it below.

[@campbellj20]

This is one of the most Minnesotan videos on KZbin. Throw in some hotdish and a game of duck duck grey duck and it would be sponsored by the tourism board.❤ Having grown up there, it makes me want to spend a few weeks back there fishing

[@philmeyer1792]

Cribbage man, my grandfather was from St. Paul. Some of my best memories with him are playing cribbage.

[@D.A.1karp]

Living the dream. Soak it in and stay happy and humble.

[@sobifishing]

Happy Days Dave! GL at the UPL’s

[@tylerjacob4698]

Siccccckkkkkkk! Ice goals. I would perhaps move the TV to a space not close to where some “Catch and Cook” may splatter onto it. The empty shelf area perhaps!? Who knows. Just thoughts. Sweet house. I am leaving California in two weeks to go to Northern WI (home). Sooo. Freaking. Jacked. Tight lines…

[@sobifishing]

Safe travels north Tyler! 🤘

[@Earle49]

Pretty sweet shack! Suggest a microwave for the shelf with chips on it. For quick and easy snacks.

[@joshuat7171]

Looks like you’re all set. Walleye, crappie, and sunnies in the same spot. That’ll do!

[@rumpleforeskin5064]

I haven't ice fished for twenty years this is perfect I love it

[@jackpinesavage1628]

A man was out fishing on the ice one afternoon, when suddenly, from above him, he hears, "no fish are down there!" He looks around, doesn't see anyone, so he returns to ice fishing. The voice from above says, "I said, no fish are down there!" The man looks up, says, "Is that you, God?" The voice says, "no, I'm the ice rink manager, I'm telling you, no fish are down there!"

[@michaelbrownlee9497]

I might take out the cabinets, sharp corners that you could hit your head on. Then turn the bunk bed into a storage area where the face could hinge out for guest to sleep on in a pinch. Very nice though as it is. Love the stove, and the table bed area is, like, sweet as sweet c ould be..... a TV, a stereo.

[@richardjohnson2965]

Good for you...looks great. Spent years in northern Minnesota...lived on the lake...and the ice houses make a small village all winter long out on the ice. It's fun to be out there good weather or bad.

[@wreckless5871]

Congratulations you two! I told my wife that when the kids are out of the house we are going to buy property in MN and start doing this same thing,

[@oldguysmusic2929]

Has your wife stopped laughing yet?

[@thoryan946]

Awesome shack. Only thing I would change is the TV placement. Most screens are just plastic now, so if you cook bacon in the morning some of the oil might burn the screen, or worst case scenario it would just add fuel to a pan fire because it's so close. Other than that you've got yourself a beautiful ice shack. Makes me want to build one now.

[@genefredrickson1286]

If you have never used an underwater camera hooked to a TV it is amazing. Thought it was frivolous but I loved it. New subscriber and I enjoy your content.

[@flyingarrow7955]

You didn't point out that handy-dandy paper towel holder installed up and out of the way. I love little "hacks" like that. The smile on your face says it all. Congrats. Enjoy!

[@rileybrooks8216]

Congratulations on the new purchase. Throw some dice in , a pizzazz and a Keurig you’ll be set.

[@nickb1515]

Love your passion, I love hearing people get so excited about fishing and the memories that come with it, congrats and have a great time!

[@Jason-gt6ko]

The best way to ice fish is to keep moving. Hard to do with a house on the ice.

[@NevilofMars]

I haven't seen a fish and bait place like that since I lived in Louisiana and Texas, decades ago. I like them.

[@tazm3514]

I would suggest adding some solar panels on top very beautiful Ice shack also I would add some LED Strip lights along the edges between the walls and ceiling to add more color and light :D

[@inth0004]

Congratulations! "college" style pots,pans, cooking utensils. Oven mitts. Pop a plate paper plate holder filled with paper plates. Plastic cups incase you forget your cup. Set of plastic eating utensils. A kettle, french press, coffee grounds or a single cup Keurig machine. A spare set of cables for the winches and propane hoses. Fuses. Shovel to bank the house. Oil and fish breading of course...

[@TheSteveo2626]

Smart man. Put your creamer in before your coffee. No spoon needed.

[@sobifishing]

😎👊😎👊

[@sjrichards7514]

As a female who enjoys ice fishing I have found using pine shavings in the bathroom works great. Much better than kitty litter!

[@bb_outdoors6573]

Mop/sweeper to keep the ground dry for sure!!

[@sobifishing]

We do need a broom! That’s for the reminder!

[@billmcconnell1737]

Congrats looks like your hard work is paying off. Set of corn hole boards with your logo on for them nice sunny days on the ice. A seasoning rack for your cooking segments. Can you hook a fish finder into the TV screen?

[@Eugenia_Farms]

cribbage must be a northern thing haha my grandparents play every night

[@WallyGraeber]

A lot of minnows to support local small stores for sure. ❤

[@martiesrcsstore4049]

Definitely a spice rack cutting board good knives hot spot for wifi extra blankets spare way to cook food and heat it

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome addition buddy!! You will definitely be enjoying it for years to come for sure!! I’m definitely excited to see some videos out of your new home away from home!!! Lol!! Remember Sobi keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

[@sobifishing]

Thanks JJ and happy days!

[@jimmcdees1341]

Hey boss not to be a Debby downer, but I was allways taught, when measuring a fish, the trail fin is excluded from it! Last vertebrae pretty much where the meet ends at the tail that's where you take your measurement to

[@ryanlandon5616]

Congrats on the new ice house! Can’t wait to see all the content. From the best utube film maker there is! I’m in Maryland and have never ice fished, want to try it so bad it looks like it’s a blast!!

[@filosworld.1705]

Ever since I saw Grumpy old men always wanted to do this. But our winters here never stay cold enough to allow for ice fishing.

[@morrisdomke8920]

I say you will need to put A COMPLETE SET OF "PIN HEADS MINNOWS " On the Wall.... You need 1 #14 Wagner Blk Cast Pan And a Round Cast Griddle.... A must for Breakfast and Late night Snacks(Filets in Jay Seamans Shore Lunch)..... GREAT GET A WAY FER SURE

[@morrisdomke8920]

Opps my Bad .... SHORE LUNCH IN MANY BOXES on that Shelf for sure

[@MotorsandMetals]

Candles just in case you’re heater fails or runs out also sented to keep the fish stink down 😂😂 I recommend evergreen. Door mat to brush ur boots off before coming inside keep snow out lighter to start furnace manually if you have to. Heat magnet to put on propane tank when it gets real cold keep propane from freezing or hand warmers on the regulator and also recommend find some skies makes pulling threw snow easier

[@Grants_everyday_life]

Maybe add a coffee maker if you’re coffee drinkers, or a foldable fish cleaning station!

[@mitchreinsma1317]

Miss my ice castle. Nothing like being able to sit back get comfortable while making memories!

[@lucyhudd8024]

this has been one hole popping, hole hopping crazy video and u and ur sister steph are so cool!🐠

Don’t ask me how I stumbled on this video. Glad so did lol. I’m smiling on how happy you are with the new ice shack. Congratulations

[@t.j5924]

Fished 50 miles out, fished on shore, Fished rivers and fished ponds, and its the most boring thing iv ever done!! But it sure beats being at work!

[@michaelschnoor7594]

Favorite bait shop by far in the state of Minnesota is Steve's lucky bait. RIP Steve we miss ya!!! Best scoop of shiners in the state....

[@predictorbibulous3327]

Wow that's nicer than some people's homes.

[@lastonanisland1111]

I wish I could be that enthusiastic about anything anymore. Everyone seems like really wonderful people but my suburbanite self couldn't possibly relate any less. Good on them.

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

Im sure you have 1 but definitely need a first aid kit. You don't need one till ya need one. I've never ice fished as i live in swfl but that shack looks awesome.

[@nahimgudfam]

Wow vanilla flavored sneed oil! So cozy
