All right me and a friend at work here are debating on if you fall throu the ice ice fishing how long do you think a person has to get out of the water and still have the ability to get out of the water. I say 30 to 45 seconds. We got on this subject talking about early ice and all the safety measures we take early ice and how to be prepaired so with ice comeing everybody should be thinking about this if you go early icefishing

Being an EMT and Ice Water Rescue trained, I would say, those are safe numbers as some others have said here in "normal" winter conditions in the US... In Minnesota, with the windchill and many other factors, Getting out and to shelter is very key as soon as you can. This being said, the body can loose all feeling and movement in extreme conditions in less than one minute of submersion. Be carefull, keep picks on you, and remember, the first key of staying calm is the most dificult. stay calm, get horizontal or level with the ice and work yourself up and get out. Again get calm and get to shelter.

REMEMBER there is no fish worth your life!!!! We all are anxious, we all are eager, we all are worth far more to our family than we think. BE SAFE!!!

One other very important thing to remember on this subject is that when you fall through, there hopefully will be someone near that can rescue you. BUT at that point, you not only endanger yourself.... But now there are likely TWO victims.

I will be the first to try to save you and I am sure your friends would be the same, but, by doing this, they put themselves in the very same, short and tragic situation.

Sorry to lecture but alot of people fail to realize that by putting your self in danger means putting those who can or will save you in the same danger.

Again, be safe! I would much rather fish with you, than swim with you!

      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.
