Peanuts in the shell. The discarded hulls thrown in the lake of water in front of the buddy heater provides for traction.

Collapsible milk crate, takes up almost no room in the sled and is great to set heater, vex or countless other things on and keep out of the slush and wet.

Duct tape and bungee cords that way I can fix anything except thin or no ice

pull 20ft of line off ur tipup..wrap a rubber band around it spool the rest of the line back on when a running fish makes it 20ft the rubber band will catch and snap setting the hook and letting the fish keep swimming

Chisel/hammer, flat side used to break my flipover's skirt from the ice if it freezes down and the sharp side to chip a pilot hole for my pita Clam Ice anchors. Also worth mentioning are plastic grocery bags to carry trash and fish back to the truck.

Duk Tape, I never go anywhere without it!

eriksat1 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 16, 2013, 02:49 PM »

Duct tape, bailing wire, and a hammer, and you can fix anything.

A collapsible mountaineering shovel. Light weight and even when there isn't snow, I can use it as a cutting board, cheese board, flat spot to hold the camp stove, etc. And it even works pretty good to shovel snow.

I would not call them must have, but "like to have"; Binoculars. I first started carrying them so I could see if I had a frag if I was jigging to far away... Now I stay closer, but love to have them for the wildlife, so I can wave to game warden when he is looking at me with his, see what and how big my buddies fish really is, take a look at who is looking in my vehicle and any thing else that might be interesting...
