I got IDI Arctic Armor suit and gloves, Ice Picks, Yak Trax, Forage Minnow kit, and some light weight ALPS chairs for lounging on the ice!

I got a frickin snow shovel and was told that i would be needing it this weekend since it is "catch up weekend". For some reason i think the boss is upset that i havnt been home since its gotten cold.

Small shovel and a set of tire chains so I can get into trouble and walk farther than before

I got a ice rod bag from Scheels and some boot dryers. Already had a rod bag from Cabelas which I like better than the one from Scheels because the Scheels bag has a felt interior. Guarandamteed to snag every treble hook on every Chubby Darter, etc on my rods. So I'm using that one for tipups and other stuff and the rods stay in the Cabelas rod holder.

The boot dryers are in use now. The jury is still out, but they look like they will be very handy. More for my work boots than for my ice fishing boots as I use Mickey Mouse boots on the ice and generally just leave them in the truck with Stabilicers attached.

Got some new ice armor gloves which are really nice and a new tipup.

I got some quick strike set ups, my first tip-up! and some nice winter boots. My gift list wouldn't be complete without some smelt... MMmmmm... Woo Hoo, bring on the fish!

Wife got me a Wild Outdoors sled made by Otter. Same size and shape as an Otter II but 10 lb lighter. At 64 x 32 inches it will haul all my gear, pak shak III and my 4 yo daughter. And next year I might be able to afford the tent system to convert into a 2 man flip-over. The angle of the front just floats it in deep snow. Plus, I can use it to drag game in the fall. Happy as boy with a new sled can be.

I am loving it!!! It is almost too warm if you do ANY physical activity! I have used it twice now and when I'm done augering holes, I need to unzip the jacket and take my IS stocking hat off!! But them once I cool down, I sit there and never even think of being cold...hands and feet are the only thing that gets even remotely cold...and its hard to keep your feet warm when you standing in 2" of slush and ice!! I hate early ice conditions!!!

OH I forgot I got the new Zak Brown Band CD...If you love Country you gotta love "Chicken Fried"!

What are ALPS chairs?

Neptune · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 28, 2008, 07:06 PM »

ALPS Mountaineering is a company, they make nice light weight aluminum camp equipment. I have a small 14"x14" folding table also, that I use for my video monitor and or gear table while fishing. The chairs have rails that rest on the ice so your weight is better distributed and you don't push a leg through the ice/snow and fall over...I'm ~210lbs and I tend to go arss over tea kettle in my chair when I first sit down...Hey what can I say I'm good for a show...

Got a new Jiffy Mille Lacs 2 piece chisel from the wife......bad news is I bought one three weeks earlier. The real kicker....she paid less then I did.

Good news....it works great and now I get to go to Kittery and pick out my replacement gift. I would say more Heritage lakers are in order.

Gotta Fishin buddy with the side finder. Should make ice fishing just that much more frustrating!!! Nothing like knowing there are fish there and not catching them!!!!

wyogator · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 05, 2009, 10:59 PM »

I received absolutely nothing related to ice fishing

I got hunting gloves, a hat, some clothes, fleece long johns for waders, possibly an ipod and a Sportsmans Warehouse gift card; Hey, that can be used for ice fishing! Seriously though, I have so much ice fishing gear, I really don't need any more.

I would classify the ipos as fishing gear
