Number one emphasis is to stay the heck away from sketchy ice. Stay off it. How tough is that? Nobody needs to fish that bad.
I don't think anyone has said it yet, but guys don't forget to tie a large slip knot on the end of your rope!! You want the person to be able to loop the rope around their body under their armpits and for you to be able to pull it tight. Easy sliding knot for use with cold fingers. This way even if you cant get the person out, you can hold them above water until help arrives, even past when they lose their grip.
my grandpa saved me from the ice with this back in 86, got me in the lower neck.
my grandpa saved me from the ice with this back in 86, got me in the lower neck. Ive kept it in my tackle box ever since...
What am I missing here? I don’t see how this will help. You still have to pull, and the rope will be anchored behind you. Please clarify. I may be missing something obvious. Lol
