Easysled.ca - Collapsible Aluminum Winter Sleigh Kit

04/24/2026

This past winter, a local expedition team (Andrew Ryzebol, Scott Parent, and Billy Shearer) set off to travel 56km across Lake Huron/Georgian Bay, from Tobermory to Manitoulin in order to dive a shipwreck under the ice. The journey required them to travel across both ice and open water which necessitated multiple sets of equipment while needing to be as lightweight as possible for the 56km journey. They had to carry camping gear, food, ice climbing gear, paddleboards for open water and all the scuba gear to travel across the various mediums. We are very appreciative that they trusted our Easy Sled kits to help them travel across the ice. The kit was lightweight for them, stood up to the abuse of uneven/jagged "sea ice" and allowed them to quickly and easily transition from land mode to water travel due to the collapsible nature of our kit.

We're thrilled that the Easy Sled was helpful to the team and held up to the abuse of an expedition like this. We wish the team many more safe and incredible expeditions!

Locating a shipwreck through the ice is one thing...getting there via paddle board and ice crossing is a whole other level. Very happy that Easy Sled was able to help with the ice crossing aspect!

An Easy Sled isn't just for ice fishing...

If you're in Ontario and need to know where to find bait, the Bait management zones, or locations where you can get a license, here's a community driven map that I created years ago. It started for my own use and has grown to include "most" locations across Ontario.

I created and own the map, but much of the data was contributed by the ice fishing community, and some help from someone working with CAD who helped create the BMZ's. The result is a great map for Ontario residents!

Feel free to share with your friends and use the map description field to get an email address where you can share missing/closed locations.

Enjoy!

Our customers are the best! We've had several content creators produce videos assembling/demonstrating our products and we try to share them to help their channels grow as much as their video shares the word of our product. Jay Siemens is one of those creators. We suspect much of the community already follows his channel, but if not...you're missing out - we promise! Anything from fishing challenges with big industry names, building micro ice fishing huts right up to insane ice houses and resort cabins.

We've been watching Jays' videos for many years and instantly recognized his name when he placed an order last year. He reached out this morning to share his latest video highlighting the build of his Easy Sled kit followed by taking it on a test run and we wanted to share.

Please check out his video and consider giving Jay a follow, I promise you won't regret it if you even remotely enjoy fishing. He's a great personality and produces a tonne of fun, exciting and entertaining videos. Plus, the Easy Sled kit has been highlighted in 7 or 8 of his latest videos, and one last year where he built the world's largest tip-up (another great watch) - that's gotta mean something, right? :)

Here's Jays' latest video highlighting his Easy Sled build and testing:

*Just to comment on using the Easy Sled kit with motorized vehicles, we'd like to clarify the source of our statement. When we first started, we had some customers that had used the kit behind their snowmobile at 40+MPH, resulting in failure. Aluminum is a very soft/flexible metal and with speed added to the equation, 100+ lbs of gear bouncing up and down causes the entire kit to flex (shock loading) which can cause the welds to fail over time. The more critical concern which comes into effect at much lower speeds is the metal edge around the ski. If that edge catches during a turn at even 10mph...nearly 100% of that energy gets transferred to the welds. It's all about setting expectations - you wouldn't buy a Civic to go off-roading in Moab and expect nothing to break, right? It's all about using the right tool for the job. That said, we have no concerns using an Easy Sled kit with low-speed vehicles such as an e-Bike (used responsibly). If you do intend to use it this way, we strongly suggest dulling the edge on the skis to prevent them from grabbing.

I built an ice fishing set-up for my e-bike. Thanks for watching!Himiway E-Bikes: https://bit.ly/4qgRrAOSmitty Sled (Easy Sled): https://bit.ly/4jEyx4iChanne...

We've been quiet recently as we're welding away to ensure we have kits available to order. That said, if you don't follow Jay Siemens on Youtube, we highly recommend checking him out. Absolutely great fishing content, high energy and all sorts of species and fun adventures.

Jay has several recent videos sight-fishing some early ice brookies and splake with an Easy Sled carrying his gear. Our favorite species and favorite way to travel to the back lakes where the trout are!

We're trying to catch a BIG Splake while ice fishing (Brook Trout x Lake Trout Cross). Had a great time wrapping up our trip to Manitoba's Duck Mountains for...

Got out this morning for a quick fish at a Splake lake nearby home. Did not disappoint. 3 nice size fish in 40 minutes. My rod was in the water by 9:30am and I was home by 10:45am with these 3. Fantastic vacation Monday!
