4) a.ice pics properly attached to ones person
b.personal floation device worn at all times
c.always have someone with (near) you
5) moving water and aeration

Wscaman · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 05, 2003, 09:14 PM »

1.c
2.A (small)
3.3. Pressure cracks are formed by what two factors?
wind and current.
4.Ice Picks, Personal Flotation device,a length of light nylon rope 50'-200'
5.They are caused by the steady release of marsh gas from the lake bottom. The rising gas pulls a plume of warmer water up from deeper in the lake that keeps the hole open. The gas comes from decomposition of vegetable matter on the lake bottom.and 2.Reef Holes
Reef holes are similar to warm water holes except that they occur at the same spot each year.

Bussman takes it

Great list of safety items to bring! Most important is a friend.
For those looking to learn more about ice, how it's made, how it melts and it's different stages check out the links below. The next time you go out you'll know just what kind of ice your walking on.
