I believe you're right on that, same goes for Superior and Chippewa National forests. You should be able to find rules on dispersed camping on the DNR HSOforum. Just remember to practice "Leave No Trace" principles when you're dispersed camping.

Or ANY kind of camping. Not to hijack this thread, but every campsite I've been at has had some kind of junk I had to pick up.

thanks for the concern.. but i definitely don't need a reminder of "leave no trace".. i make sure to practice this wherever i may be camping

Sweet deal.. i was just making sure.. someone i was talking with one day seemed unsure and i wanted to make sure as i have done it in the past and never thought it was an issue.. i just take my eno hammock/bug net/tarp with me.. along with my tripack with water and snacks.. i need to invest in a water purifier so i can make longer treks without having to haul all that water

I just use a shirt filter out the big stuff and those purifier tablets to get the nasty little buggers. It works well and I don't have to buy a $100 filter.

ended up going with a Sawyer inline water filter($55) for my platypus... read nothing but amazing reviews.. it's simple.. no pumping.. just fill bladder with water and drink... can be hooked up to other tubes like camp showers... and is rated to filter one million gallons

Will do.. I plan on taking it out when I go fishing too.. since I seem to forget liquids all the time when I leave the house... This will be quite nice to dip in the stream for all my water needs... And being able to use it as a gravity filter is a nice perk too... For when me and the gf go camping and more clean water is needed at a time

On a side note... Do you think adding an inline carbon filter is worth it? Or will it just add more drag and make sipping on my hydration pack a PITA?...

Yeah basically carbon neutralizes the water and gets rid of any taste/smell the water would have... I could see this being a bigger issue with bigger stream/river systems... Or even lakes.. imy only concern is having a hernia trying to suck water through a microbial filter and then a carbon filter lol

If it were just about taste, I would forgo it. When you're out there and thirsty, you won't care as much what it tastes like as long as you won't get sick. But, it's really up to who ever is drinking the water.

I use a Sawyer gravity system - mostly BWCA trips - and I can't see why you would need/want a carbon filter add-on.

good to know laugh

now that i think of it.. if im really turned off by the flavor i could always add powdered gatorade to mask any less than pleasing flavor

      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.

      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.
