Are those classic Arctic Cat snowmobile suits?

We had those! Remember the T buckle belt on all those old suits?

I too started out with the spud as a teen, then "graduated" to the Swedish Spoon. I'm pretty sure I could chisel faster than the spoon! Then I finally got a Mora...man did that thing cut!

I wish I would have kept all that old stuff. How about the Jaro? charcoal and liquid hand warmers you put in the red velvet cases! I do remember as kids very cold feet! Those cruddy black rubber bottom boots with nylon sides and felt liners that always needed drying! Man clothing has come along way too!

Thanks for taking me back!

Ferny.

Hanson- We were probably on Union lake at the same time, I used to go spearing with my grandpa back then, I would have been roughly the same age. We only lived about 15 miles away, didn't get to go often but still remember going. Nothing like a flash from the past. Cool pics.

This made me remember my first time ice fishing. It was 1983, i was 4 years old on Upper Red with my dad, grampa and uncle. we were set up around some people that they knew. i had no idea how i was supposed to catch a fish through a hole, so one of the guys started telling me how to do it. he told me that when i see the bobber go down, set the hook and then turn and run as fast as i can. well as the story goes i took off running and the walleye came out of the hole like a rocket about 4 feet in the air. and i guess all the old guy just about died laughing at me. gotta love the advice.

Hanson,

Thanks for bumping this back up, it's new to me. Very cool pictures...classics!

I don't recall any "on the ice photos" taken by my parents, only "back at the house" type stuff. I think I'll take more photos of the kids on the ice this year.

My late dad made an old home movie (I believe it is digitized on CD now), no kids in it, but ice fishing in the late fifties or early sixties. It has a view though the windshield driving onto the lake and old timers hiding from the cameraman embarrassingly small sunfish in their coats. It's a riot.

Both him and his brother look like the kids from a Christmas Story smile.gif.

But when you think of it, during the winter time, most kids look like the kids from the movie "Christmas Story".

Nice post Hanson!

My uncle Bob (god father) had the same portable shack. I remember an outing about the same time on East Fish lake in Maple Grove. One of the hand full of times I went ice fishing with my father. In that shack was my uncle, my dad and my self. I can not remeber if we caught any fish, but it was fun. I am sure it still up in rafters of garage in the orig. box, with masking tape on corners of box. I will ask him at christmas if he still has it. LOL! We only had hand auger thought!

Thanks

OMG That was my first thought! Way too funny.

Hanson, nice job. If we can learn one thing from this post... take pictures of you and your family doing the stuff you love. These picts are invaluable!

Funny no one picked up on that in "05". That movie has been around since like 1980.

But it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pics, not the posts from "07".

It is a great post though. I take so many images/pics of my kids. Good thing to do. Maybe in 2020, they will post some images of them as fishing kids on FM. cool.gif

      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.
