The sun is a must for getting it to heat up on it's own.
With two people it easily and quickly heats up on it's own when the temps are over 25. Mind it's still cold-ish that we still have sweatshirts on but it's not the super freezing temps outside the shelter. Especially if there's any breeze or wind.
Below those temps and/or without the sun, my indoor heater is definitely on.
Moving is cake when it's set up. Just slide it and move as needed. Caution here is that it can quickly become a parachute with the wind and take you sledding across the ice.
Mighty embarrassing I can tell you that. But it does make the other's around you
, usually because we've all been there, so that can add to day's enjoyment.
Once of the best little handy dandy gadgets in my sled is a drill anchor tool.

These little bad boys make setting up and keeping the shelter in place a breeze, especially if there is one. Thirty seconds tops getting an anchor in or out.
I used to think I didn't need all this gear and wondered why others had these big sleds and so much "stuff". But getting older I've noticed how much faster I want to get in the shelter, out of the cold, and fishing. Ease of setup and speed are definitely bonus points.
