Does anyone wear these for ice fishing? I noticed Steve Foss has a pair on in one of his pic posts. My feet freeze! When I was younger ( back when you could snomobile in the BWCA) I spent 2 days stuck in the slush up there with my uncle at -20 +. My liners of the pack boots were froze solid. ever since then my feet get cold. I need a pair of waterproof warm boots.

I have a pair of Mukluks and love them for real, true cold weather.

Not saying your feet can't get a touch cool over periods of inactivity but for a mobile fisherman in cold conditions, they work very well.

That being said, they are not meant to be waterproof. Not the original style anyway. You should spray them so they resist the moisture, but you just can't waterproof them.

The new Camluks are said to be water proof though. Seems like it would be a perfect match. I'll be checking them out the next time I'm in Ely.

Like wanderer said, they are not meant to be waterproof.

They are extremely warm from my experience, but were not waterproof at all. Great when its so cold that everything is dry, but once you get into wet/slushy stuff its all over.

Had a frozen foot 2 mile walk in from Fourtown lake(bwcaw)once because I found myself in the middle of some slush. I wouldnt wear them on a long trek after that.

I got a pair of Baffin's that are rated to -148 and I haven't had cold/wet feet since. They are made in Canada, and if anyone knows about cold weather its the canucks!

I wore steiger muks for quite a few years, but not for ice fishing. My feet were constantly getting wet. If they made a pair of gore tex muks they may be ok. the muks were great for walking or anything that water wasnt involved

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
