Haha, yeah I caught that about the truck also. Saying a little Toyota flatbed truck weighs 5 tons. That's what I hate about these new shows, they must think all the viewers are idiots! Everything gets exagerated and edited for maximum drama.

I just started watching the recorded episodes last night. The NC guy that plants Cale to feed himself over the winter...or he'll starve. LOL How does he feed his two horses, I dont see any corn fields or hay fields around. He has to have that delivered.

Man does not live on Cale alone grin

I also think this show is a joke. There is a man from MN named Duane Ose that moved up to Alaska in the 80's and I believe he is the last American homesteader. I don't know if you would call him a mountain man but he is pretty close to one. If you google him you'll see what I mean

I love how one minute it's spring, the next it's winter and the next it's fall. They will claim it's 0 degrees except you don't see anyone's breath and there are puddles along the path. Some of the stuff is cool they just try waaaaaaay too hard to create drama. Only the AK guy is truly out there in the middle of nowhere.

I admit i still watch the show, but I sure am glad that I watch it via DVR so i can get thru it quicker.

I wonder why they never show Alaska guy actually catching something in his trap. They must only make 2 - 3 trips up there for a weekend or something to film.

I do wonder how much money these folks are receiving to be filmed? Maybe this is how Eunice is actually paying off the lien on his property? grin

There is actually another Alaska show (not sure of name but seen it this weekend) where they totally live off the land. Have own cows, grow their own gardens, hunt for Bear, Elk, Deer to fill the root cellar for winter. Cut wood all summer for heat in the winter. This show seems a little more realistic with less generated drama.

Bonus: There is a new mountain man next season too!

Probably be some guy living just outside Duluth who "has" to battle the snow and cold in order to ice fish so that his family can survive the winter. Queue the ominous howl of a distant wolf... and the hum of an ATV engine as someone just off camera zips by on the plowed road towing his 4 man portable and gas auger.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery 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.

      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.
