Which one man is the best?

A few questions, What will you be transporting it with? Will you be towing it on foot or behind a machine? Are you a big fan of lots of headroom?

I have an Eskimo Quickflip 11 that I use as a one man with lots of room. You can fish two reasonably if you want, and it can be towed my a man on foot. The sled isn't heavy-duty and could use some wear runners. So far, it's worked for me.

If your pulling behind a sled or wheeler go with a Otter or Polar Sport because the tubs will last the longest. No matter what you buy get the Hyfax runners for it. If weight is a concern and your pulling by hand go with a Fishtrap. Its usually not the house but all the gear inside it that makes it hard to pull. Make sure whatever you buy has a sled with a good rounded edge not a squared off one. Those sleds are like plows. Also a 2 man is a roomy 1 man. The 1 man sleds are real tight. Im 6'6" and cant sit in a normal 1 man for long.

Go with a two man,Which one is a personal thing that needs to fit your needs. better to have the room, then be cramped, may cost alittle more, but maybe someday you might want to take someone with you.The one man won't acomadate that. I don't have much problem loading my fully loaded Trap voyager by myself.

I like the Frabill Solo for it's design. Lots of vertical fishing room up front where you need it. It allows you to jig effectively and set the hook without scraping the walls. The Zippered front door is a bonus feature allowing easy access with the cover down. Durable wide toothed zippers resist frosting and hold up to use in cold weather year after year.

Arctic Armor Covering is lightweight and durable and resists frosting. Reflectors stitched in on all sides and a handy license plate holder for your permit and ID. Wide draft flaps seal the elements out and can accommodate chain to be used as weight to seal them in strong winds.

Extra roomy interior with plenty of storage for gear. It has four windows so it offer a 360° view. Sled pulls well and features the MSS Seating system.

Sets up to: 96"L x 48"W x 67"H

Folds down: 48" L x 45"W x 28"H

Folded down with seat down: 48" L x 45"W x 18"H (Cover fits well and the whole rig fits under a pickup cover)

Weighs only 58 lbs.

In my view a great 1 man ice ranger package for the mobile modern ice hound.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
