How bout a porta potty a 5 gal waste bucket and some potable water? I'm leaving on the 29th to camp and deer hunt around Wadena area.Camper Cabover popup has a heater and the buddy heater will come with for COLD weather just in case.

I gotta go cause I saw soooo many deer a couple weeks ago in only 4-5 hrs.intensive harvest area and some freezer fillins! Last minute decision before firearms season opens.Last time I was the only archery hunter I seen and a few bird hunters also wondered why there wernt more bow guys with so many deer seen.

While I am sad the camper is put away for the winter, that only means that ice fishing is that much closer smile

we have lots of fun as a family with the camper, but I'm ready to put it away when its time too.

Invite some buds fishing on local lake, build a campfire when you get home, sit and drink beer while talking smart. If you do this once a week, it will wean you off the normal summer routine by the time a fire no longer keeps you warm. (Thats when icefishing begins) grin

I don't have a camper yet, but the wife and I plan on shopping campers this winter. I'm a tent camper so my season is done for a little bit. I still on planning on doing a trip or two for winter camping. I really want to try a BWCA winter trip. We will see about that one though.

powerstroke, we use to tent it also. once you have somr of the conveniences of a camper the tent will go in the back of the closet. go check out the RV show this winter in the cities you can get afeel for whats available.

I agree, I used to tent camp, and after we got our pop-up this past spring, I will never sleep on the ground again. Pop-ups on HSOforum I can't mention can be found fairly cheap this time of year.

    • 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.
