Hand sanitizer works also just dip your key in it and rub some on deadbolt and work it back and forth a few times. Has vinegar and alcohol in it and gel won't freeze.

Check out red rock store to sharpen those kind of blades. Fast & cheap & does them them right. Info on thier HSOforum about the details.

Check out red rock store they sharpen them the right way...the guy has a forum on his HSOforum and talks about how to sharpen them correctly.

You could buy a second one & switch them out when the first box gets full...if fishing with someone they could be switching and dumping so you can keep drilling...Or cut the bottom out of a 5 gallon bucket with a lip & a heavy duty rubbermaid box that will fit inside the slush box and hole to make sides taller...but it will weigh a ton!

I haven't modified it but I usually just keep a 5 gallon bucket next to me & dump it out into the bucket if box is getting to full...the lip of the slush box fits into the bucket so it doesn't spill (most of the time)

Not to sound like a tree hugger...but If the trees are on someone elses property you can't just go cutting someone elses trees down...just saying!

You should be able to to down to the city/county office (county clerk) & look up who the property belongs to as long as you have the address...it is free public information. Realtors, appraisers etc. use it all the time for property info. As far as the tree goes not much you can do unless it is causing damage to your property.

My 2 scents...get a solid door without a window! Ones with windows sweat & freeze up more. A good HSOforum to go to is fish house supply (no spaces)...they are in Buffalo, MN...lots of info on there for your builds & accessories.

Ok that makes more sense...so if a buddy meets me at the access & drove separate & we can only transport our individual limit but if we drove together we can transport both our limits together.

So the DNR relaunched their HSOforum yesterday & I was checking it out...I am a little confused on one of the "General Regulations" under "Methods" reads like this: Methods How many lines can I fish with? -You may use only one line during the open water season. -You may use two lines through the ice except on designated trout lakes and streams. -On designated trout lakes and streams, only one line is allowed at any time. -Border waters and Lake Superior may allow more than one line. What if people are fishing together from a boat or on shore? -A party is two or more people fishing together from a single watercraft or on shore while maintaining unaided visual and vocal contact. -The number of fish your party possesses cannot be more than the combined limits of all party members. -However, you can only transport your individual limit of fish. ...the very last sentence says: "However, you can only transport your individual limit of fish." So if I am reading this correctly if my wife & I go fishing together & each limit out on walleyes (12 total/6 each)...I can only transport & bring home 6 as that is my individual limit?

angle iron will just rust after paint gets rubbed off.

Garage door trim made of pvc from menards...it has 1/4" deep grooves or ribs & is flexible & easy to cut to size. I use if for runners to load my sled on trailer works great! Comes in 10 ft. X 6" sections I believe.

I spray mine down inside & out & leave it in the sun to dry for a few hours...if its not dry by dark I put it in the garage with a fan set up inside with windows & door open on portable. Once dry I remove the seat & place in sled & put travel cover back on & store it in my perm. fish house. In my fish house I use dryer sheets & some stuff called fresh cab that keeps rodents away & make sure to seal up the perm house good!

I bought a 91' arctic cat jag 440 right after christmas & it pulls my clam & a my friends 2 person otter with him on just fine...I only paid $500 for it but wish it had reverse & electric start. IMO...for $1000 & to have those 2 features & it if it runs good & 2up you can't go wrong. A good sled for under $1000 with those features is hard to find.
