I was using the smallest Otter hub, I think it is 72"x72". I used a large, heavy cot with a 2" thermarest and an old, heavy Cabela's brand down bag. I did not run the portable buddy heater at night and was very comfortable. I had a 10lb tank and used more gas than I expected, probably 7-8 pounds. I was not planning on fishing in the shelter as much as I did, but the bite was good very early each morning, and slow in the afternoon and evening. Camping on the fish was great, as I was able to wake up and have everything ready to go. I had no trouble hauling this load back there, not sure of the weight but easily 150-200 lbs with minnows, flasher, old 8" auger, giant cot... In the future I will try to stick to late season, hard packed conditions. In slush or soft snow, one could shuttle multiple times as it is not very far to reach the area I was fishing.
I definitely am looking for a small, lightweight cot, as what I was using is heavy and too large for the shelter.
