Mickey Mouse boots PERIOD!

$69 new at Fleet Farm and the Ice Show. The guy that sells them is from "State Publications" but he's off the grid ;-) I have his card at home if you want his #.

I've had my black ones since 1983 when they were issued to me. I cannot wear them out. No liners to ever worry about drying or wearing out.

I don't think many people who have spend hundreds can say that!

Spend the rest on shiners and beer.

Ferny.

No matter how good my boots are, If I am sitting still long enough they do got cold.

i guarentee your feet wouldn't get cold in the saskatchewan pac boot its impossible....even if you are the biggest sissy in the world you can add foot warmers into the inserts they have in the sole of the boot.

i can bowhunt or stand on ice the whole day with a pair of everyday socks.

A Sale, plus a coupon code out for an additional $20 off orders over $100...so that is $30 to $40 off them now...a great deal on the Trans Alaskan III. I have a couple seasons on mine now and they are as good as new...or I would consider buying another pair at that price.

I'll second that guarantee. Although I have the Alaskan III boots they are the same as the Saskatchewan only not camo.

If you look online under pac boots on the Cabelas site they have a great sale on them right now as well.

BottleFish...I'm darn tempted to buy the Cabela's Trans-Alaska Elite Trail Suit now that it's on sale too..the one with the waterproof shell and the full Coyote collar.

It is marked way down too...like $100 off. Very tempting at $299!

I had the Predator extremes for 3 yrs. and switched to the Baffin impacts this year. The fabric covering the tongue on the extremes wore out and water was getting in. Also the sole started to delaminate from the uppers at the flex points letting water in. Otherwise they are very good boots and kept my feet warm.

The Impacts are very nice. Easy on/off with the buckles & straps.(compared to speed lacing on the extemes) They also have a cinch cord around the top to keep out air/snow. The liner is very thick, warm & comfy on the feet. They seem much lighter and easier to walk in than the extremes also. So far they are waterproof and they have an aggressive tread pattern for good traction. We'll see how hey hold up after 3-4 yrs.

Got some Baffin Impacts last winter from GM, paid only $100 for them, bulletproof so far and super convenient for slipping on for a quick out of the dog and stuff. Really warm. Love the traction. Love the buckles/straps also. They are also great for guys who've had ankle surgery or have other leg/foot issues, my dads ankle is permanently fused and about twice as big as it should be and he can put on/take off the Baffins like no other great warm boot out there.

I purchased a pair of Inferno's the other day. Only been out once since then, but very impressed with them. Just a little bulky, but coming from a 600gram "hunting" boot it was a nice upgrade.

They feel like they will need a good break in period, but I'm satisfied, and with the $20 off coupon, I got them for $84

The Infernos performed great in the bone chilling temps the past few days, and they are breaking in nicely.

I have a pair of Bunny Boots. The things I dont like about them is the weight if you do a lot of walking and they will chafe you if you dont wear a high sock. I have had cold feet sitting in them for hours but never painfully cold.

I am looking into getting something better for walking in and I was considering the Baffin Impact. But from other people I have heard that drilling a hole in the ice your feet will get wet since they are not 100% waterproof. None of Baffin's Extreme line boots are ( Barneo, Impact, Doug Stoup, etc...) right from their own addmission on their HSOforum.

So I moved my attention to possibly the Lacrosse Alpha Extreme PFT's. They claim 100% waterproof. Can someone tell me how they are for walking in?????

I have not checked into the Trans Alaskan III's but after reading this thread I intend to.

I have Cabella's Inferno boots and I love them. Buy a size bigger or wear normal summertime socks if you buy them in your size. I typically wear very lightweight socks and my feet never sweat or get to cold, for long, extended periods on the ice.

I have been using a pair of Baffin Titan boots now for 3 weeks. They are a fully rubber boot with removeable liner rated for -150 that is supposed to wick moisture away from your feet. They are not as bulky as i thought they would be when ordered them and they are light at around 6.5 lbs/pair. My feet do sweat a bit in them even durring the recent cold but with wool socks never had my toes get cold...just simply take the liner out at the end of the day and ready to go in the morning.

And the Baffin Titan boots go for under $100.

I have an old pair of Sorel Dominators from before they started making them in Cheena. I hope they last a long time because they are awesome.

I just bought my wife a pair of Baffin icefields. I hope that they are as warm and waterproof as they claim, or wifey will never fish again.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
