Q. Hi – I’m considering buying either the
Eskimo Fatfish 949 or 949i. Do you know if the 949i will be
any more difficult to put up and put away than the 949? Is it
stronger to accommodate the extra layer? What about moisture
build up if I use a propane heater.
Also – I am Canadian and will ship product
to a relative in the US. Any problems doing this?
What is the latest date I can pre-order the
product.
Thanks for your help.

A. Hi-
They pop up the same and take down the same - pack away the same, too. The insulated one weighs more and doesn't "rain" on you when you use a propane heater or breathe in general. It'll still can get soaked inside, but that really doesn't mean anything either. It doesn't drip and it is noticeably warmer than the non-insulated 949. Regarding strength, they are built to stand up given the material used. Eskimo designs them for this.
Shipping to a US address is much preferred on our end. Shipping one of these to Canada is expensive (to Canadians) and slow. Sometimes it can get stuck sitting in Canada Customs for three weeks with nobody knowing why.
Our Pre-Buy at Red Rock usually ends at the end of October or so. Depends on how much stuff has been pre-bought and what is being delivered in our initial shipments. Order earlier is always better because we could have a run on an item and not be able to get more later, Last year we ran out of Eskimo 949i's and everybody wanted them all winter long. I expect the same this winter. So, sooner is better to make sure you get one.
Thanks!
