Man, how many times did you guys jump in?

You guys just keep jumoing in and in. Both the red suit and camo. Pretty neat.

I like the "walleye dan" stich on the back of the red suit.

Did you guys have ice picks?

Was that you in both suits?

How did you find that thin of ice?

Good show though!

She (Jessica Miles) did a nice job with that. Tom and I both went in twice, I had piks he didn't. The second time was a cold one. The suit is for real. Like Jessica said, "It is not a certified PFD". But who cares! Wouldn't you rather have a chance? IDI Gear is a company that is on the go, not sure about the one piece but they do have a lot in the works. I guess we better re-order after that piece.

Thanks,

Walleyedan

Now I remember, it was another face in the camo. grin.gif

This should shout out about IDI gear.

But you guys are still crazy in my book grin.gif. You guys jumped in like it was a hot tub.

All I can say is "It Floats". Walleye Dan proved it tonight.

Crazy, crazy, crazy, but it will save your life.

Or you can use various products from Mustang Survival that are PFD's and will keep warm as well as afloat. Arctic Armor is just another player - not the only one

I recorded the news on my DVR and showed the wife that segment and she said that I need to get one. I explained that it was ~$300 and her response was, "Your life is worth it and the peace of mind for me knowing that you are safe."

I am originally from California and it took her nearly two years before she was some what okay with me ice fishing. Since my birthday is in January, this will be my birthday present.

Walleye Dan, I am 6' 2" and 210 lbs what size do you recommend?

      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.
