New to this HSOforum folks (great info) and in just my 3rd yr ice fishing. Until now I've mooched a fishouse and auger from buddies. The time has come to purchase. For a number of reasons I really like the pop-up tent style houses.

Looking at Quickfish III vs Eastman 4. I've fished in the Quickfish and it sets up great and it quite sturdy. Any thouhts on the Eastman? Thanks. I'll hang up and listen

I've got the Eastman Ice Cube 4man (newstyle).

I've just seen the Eskimo Quikfish III, I thought the fabric was just a little thicker on the Eskimo.

The Eastman has two removeble clear vinyl windows...Really handy if it's iced/fogged up and one little gear bag. Plus you can stick your head through and scout or for air'n it. Eastman has tightening straps on inside as well.

I think the Eskimo has three maybe four little vinyl windows.

Both are same size.

Well...the size if different..QF is 70"x70 and the Eastman is 91"x91. I just wasn't sure about the fabric thickness, and poll system. The QF is so easy to set up.,,,

I've also never heard of Eastman fishhouses.

They are actually the same size. The QF is measured across the flats and the Ice Cube is being measured on the points of the octagonal shape. The pole system is identical and the fabric is pretty much the same other than the color.

The company is Eastman Outfitters. They make all kinds of stuff for camping and fishing.

I was comparing these houses because I wanted to upgrade from my QF II. Only real difference I could see was that the Eastman has 2 large windows while the QF III has four small windows. I went with the QF III because I've had good luck with the II and it was on sale.

      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.
