Recommended Posts

Been thinkin about trading in my old fish trap and getting a new 2 man flip over...I was wondering how the canvas on the new otter team wild houses were. Comparable to fish traps? Looking to spend less than 300 and the 2 man otter seems like it would be perfect,but I don't want to get soMething if its not gonna last!any other options in that price range? Thanks

I like my Team Wild 3 man. Very roomy and my luck this year on almost every outing has been wind grin Some strong wind and it has held up very nice. I almost thought it was going to blow apart one time on ML, but it held together nice

I own the team wild two man version, bought it last year around christmas. In my honest opinion you get what you pay for as far as the canvas, it just isn't as durable as the regular otters. On the roof of mine the stitching is starting to come apart, but with some patching can be fixed, but still. I'm not too familiar with the fish traps but by comparing them to the wild houses inside the store the canvas seemed pretty similar. If your going to be using your house alot and want something that's going to hold up to abuse, I'm not sure if the team wilds are the right choice. However, for $299.00 you get a house, bench seat(very comfortable) and sled cover and that is by far the cheapest house for the money. The team wilds are definately the best bang for your buck, but may not necesssarily hold up to the abuse that regular otters or canvas crafts will. But if you take good care of it and aren't careless with it i think you would be happy with a team wild.

    • 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
    • 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.
