I've used my Jet sled as a wind break for my permanent ice shanty! ;D  Keeps the holes from freezing over.

Yeah, and since those jetsleds move along the ice and snow so incredibly easy, turn it away from the wind and i bet you could ride it jsut like a sail boat!

I'm sure it would take off. ;D  I usually leave my power-augur in it.  It's enough weight to keep it is place.
