rattle wheel is a hollow "wheel' with bells inside and fishing line wrapped around the outside. This is mounted to the walls in fish houses and aids in hands free fishing playing cards or whatever and the strike alert is the bells rattling. Caught many of eelpout that way in the dead of night on Mille Lacs back in the day along with some dandy eyes. You can also learn a little bit about the mood of the fish depending on how quick they "take" it and the bells sound.

Here is a picture of a winter camp setup I used last year on fall lake! Home made floor and collapsible bunk bed. One cot and one buddy hearted! We also ran 2 rattle wheels inside and had a cooking station along with a table to play cards. It was -47 degrees and we were in shorts and shirts! Was an awesome trip!

Nice set up, I especially like the bunk beds. Would you mind sharing your design. I built a set myself this year for deer season in the wall tent. I suspended the mat with shock cord for comfort but when it was done was not very portable and takes a pretty good effort to put it together.
