Thanks for watching and your comments. I appreciate it. I’ve seen some really (what I think) “weird ways” folks check the ice so that’s the reason for making this video. Might be a bit extreme but when you’re fishing alone early ice or unknown ice conditions it’s best to check each step. I keep my chisel sharpen and it’ll go through 3” of ice on a hard punch. Then I stay on the same path. I’d rather get my hands wet than my entire body so feeling the ice thickness by hand from time to time gives me a better sense of actual thickness. Had to rescue 3 people who fell through in my life of ice fishing who didn’t check the ice at all and didn’t head to warnings. All of which could have been avoided. It’s not a good feeling. I weren’t gonna post this video but based on the terrible ice conditions this season thought it might me a good idea only as a reminder. Ice chisels are proactive and ice picks are reactive. Be safe.
During these times when the ice is thin, just a reminder to check as you go especially if your fishing alone.Be safe.
Great video, nice meeting you and tippin out on the ice this weekend! Hope to see you out there again this year

I usually bring a cordless drill with a 1" spade bit to check ice on the way. The spade bit goes through ice like butter so it's very quick and easy. There is absolutely no reason not to check ice when venturing out on it... Dan
What kind a sled is that? I really like it!
