??Safety equipment??
« on: Jan 01, 2013, 06:41 PM »
Hearing all the stories of people fallling thru the ice this year has got me thinking.
What is your top 5 safety things you dont leave home without?
1: float jacket
2: ice picks
3: rope
4: spud bar
5: bag of clothes.(Just in case someone goes thru I have a bag with sweatpants, sweatshirt, and socks in it.)

Maybe im missing something more important. so lets see your list

The same items as listed above and would also add cleats, matches or a lighter in a ziplock bag, flashlight, towels, and blankets.
