When I was 12 I got a new starter jacket I begged my butt of to my mom to buy it for me it was a Atlanta Braves. Well she finally buys it and I wear it out fishing after she tells me not to. I walk all the way to the lake to fish with a buddy who had his dads portable out there. I get there and I am froze so I get back up to the sunflower to warm my back side and burn a big @#$ hole in the back of it all I could think of is I just got this jacket not even an hour abog and I already recked it I am dead. Well she didnt kill me but death might of been better since I was grounded from fishing for a month

It wasn't mine but my buddies while I was catching a fish.....we were on lake of the woods and I hook into something with pull and as I am fighting this fish he runs over to watch all the excitment as it comes to the hole here is this massive pout and all heck breaks loose as I had never caught one and my buddy had never seen one that big and as it flops on the ice we look over at his house and there are flames starting to come from his portable!!! He quickly extinguished the fire and was only left with a softball to volleyball size hole in his door but it was funny even as it was happening......oh and the pout also only had one eye!! Good memories

I have yet to start the the portable on fire, but my big buddy heater did a good number on my minnow bucket!

It was a little chilly so I cranked it on full blast for a bit, the insulated minnow bucket was about a foot and a half or more away. I went to move the bucket, grabbing the end closest to the heater and all I got was a handful of gooey hot melted plastic. My hand was wet so thankfully I didn't get burned too bad. Tried to push the goo back to where it originally was and let it heal, I now have a mutated bucket that still serves its function smile.

Guy I work with came out of my eskimo after me and let the door fall against the flower. Softball size hole. Still haven't forgiven him.

Same here.....Me and a buddy were on Mille lacs last year. I just got done telling him to hold the door up and close it when he went to take a leak. Wouldnt you know, you walks out the door and flops it on the heater....COME ON MAN!!!!!

not a sunflower, but a camping stove.

I was lighting up one of those stoves that runs on coleman fuel and didn't have it adjusted right so when it lit, rather than a nice blue flame, it was shooting yellow flames about 3 feet in the air. This was happening on a table in my quick fish VI and the flames were licking the ceiling. I think it would have burnt down if weren't for the condensation up there.

I picked up the stove and set on the ground while it was still burning.

The QFVI survived unscathed.

I've been pretty fortunate over the years - I've crisped a shirt sleeve and a pair of gloves or two by leaving them in front of the sunflower to dry off & then forgetting them - But no shack fires or meltdowns, thank goodness.

On the white gas front one time I almost barbecued my tonneau cover when I lit a double mantle Coleman on the tailgate and it became an impromptu molotov cocktail. Against my better judgment I stayed with it and got the lantern shut down & moved to safety instead of just chucking it.

Second oops, bought my wife a new pair of la cross boots we went up to lake of the woods I have a 10in auger she has small feet just getting set up guess who steps in the hole, well i got her dry socks and thought well I'll just set the boot by the heater cooker, well next thing I know there is a funny smell and looked over and the top of the boot is smoking - now there is a melted area on the top of her boot

Drilling some holes earlier this year and using my buddies auger, well I'm left handed so turn the auger so the throttle is on the left side. So I lean into one hole to get a little extra leverage and feel my left nipple start to burn. Turns out Strikemaster doesn't like lefties and my jacket caught fire on the exhaust. Went all the way through my sweatshirt.

      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.
