gear organization for a hub shelter

I am looking for some ideas on organizing gear. Most of the organizing sleds I have seen are for flip overs and are large sleds (too big to keep in the hub shelter). Has anyone made anything that is smaller than a full size sled but bigger than a five gallon bucket?

clam has a hub wall shelf. it hangs on the poles. I don't have one, just saw it online. I usually leave as much as I can in my utility sled outside. then My model has little mesh pockets on the sides and two larger mesh Overhead storage things. Usually I stuff my rod bag up in one which holds lots of my jigs and other fishing items. Then i stuff snacks and beverages, the wife's purse in the other one.

I have been "Thunk'n" on this a bit myself recently. A retrofit Hub Sled System.

And I think it boils down to the sled. If your primarily pulling in with a sled loaded with the Hub Shack I see it best to fit the sled/hub closely. Then configure the sled to be task friendly with that particular Hub Shack as a total system.

I personally see the sled being used inside the Hub Shack. As in use for seating and storage. Make a sled cover with hatches to store the Hub shack and then the miscellaneous gear like the heater, then maybe a seat on top, or even two seats. One seat could face apposing ways, or the same way in the middle. It has flexibility of use to it.

The guys who have retrofitted there Flip Shack tubs with floors and storage have the right idea here, and one could learn from them. I think some of the same theory could be well applied to the Hubs as a total stow/tow and go system. I also think the top deck could be easily made removable, and drop in when needed.

There are some ideas for you to kick around anyway.

Ed: I was thinking of something similar to what you are thinking. I don't really need anything to pull because I usually drive to where I fish but still have the challenge of constantly loading and loading the car and bringing it all in the shack. I ran across some ideas today on this forum, in particular about three quarters of the way down there is a sled by a poster named "icepack." Might be worth checking out.

      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.

      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.
