I keep blackberry brandy in the shack, but more for medicinal purposes. Ever see the Beverly Hillbilly's, where Grandma was always the Dr. of the house? First thing she'd come out with was a jug with a big white "X" marked across it, full of moonshine. There's a reason for booze being a cure-all to the cold weather blues. Usually cures a sore throat and a heavy head during a cold winter's night. Or at least it doesn't hurt from what I can tell...

Yeah you should start seeing Fat tire in cans everywhere its distributed soon...I was out at the brewery (New Belgium)in late may in Ft. Collins CO and they had just started canning their beer. If you guys like Fat tire you should pick up New Belgium sampler case which has fat tire, a pale ale, an organic wheat, and a dark ale, it's delicious.

Sorry guys, there are only seven kinds of beer that I'll drink,

warm, cold, wet, can, bottle, keg and free, and there are only 2 times that I drink alone or with somebody. smile

And remember don't drink and drive! you might spill!

All in fun and moderation is my motto.

And if you see me on the ice I'll be the guy wearing the Summit hat, made in St. Paul can't get much more local then that.

Thank you, Mr. Fishwater. Icefishing just got even better.

I love my beer too, but since I bought a flasher a couple years ago it's like I dont have time to drink if you know what I mean. Anyway some times when we're just fishing tip ups a bottle of Baileys is hard to beat IMO...coon

3 time New Belgium Brewery vet, here too. Gotta love the Abbey! I do miss their seasonal "Loft" that was a short time run, it was definately my fave. Did you try some of the their La Folie, the bitter cider-beer aged for 2 years while you were there? I brought a couple of bottles back to try with the family, and no one liked it other than my wife and I.

Never tried La Folie sounds amazing though...I'm a fan of 1554 of the ones you can get here. Skinnydip is great lighter beer too....when I was out there they had a dark ale with cherry that was called old cherry and really great...much tastier and uncomparable to other "fruit" beers that I've had. McGurk have you ever had coopersmiths beer in Ft Collins then? If you haven't you must try it when your out there and the best burgers ever.

Guys,

Remember to clean up after yourselves, I get really sick of the pigs out on the ice.

I always leave with more trash then when I started, I keep some extra garbage bags in my truck.

My uncle always told me as a kid, leave it better then when you found it, Dad didn't ice fish.

Have a couple of beers and have fun, but please don't litter.

Wally, good note to throw out there for sure, and I'm sure not one of those pigs...just enjoy a tasty ale or two while I kick back and try to out-wit a wiley walleye or crappie. Oh and I not only take my trash....I recycle it too!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ....cause this beautiful environment is the only one we got.

Nicely put guys. If you want to see my actions on this area just look in the bottom of my Trap Yukon. Its a great place to park the trash during a day on the ice. At times its more other peoples trash then mine.

HaHa, I agree my voyager becomes quite the catch all...you do have to try to remember to clean it out between outings...although a leftover sandwich will keep for quite a while in a -20 garage!

      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.
