X2You WON'T be alone, and if your traps are in the water I am SURE someone will kindly remind you Quote from: Coach on Jan 22, 2014, 06:43 PMI believe the Law book ( rules) say you must check your traps every hour when cusk fishing, don't sound like you will get much sleep. Good Luck and stay safe.

Talk to me about carbon monoxide. We're thinking of staying out in our Cabela's pop up 6x12. We've got two cots and we've slept in it during the summer. We have a big buddy heater, that we use with the large propane tank that we keep outside and the hose runs under the shack in to the heater. How can we ensure we won't have a problem? I'm not worried about being warm, that thing cranks and with the cots and blankets we'll probably be too warm. Just I hadn't considered carbon monoxide being a factor.
A friend and I fished Pleasant pond a few years ago. We ran two heaters in his pop up shack. It was cold out. We were out there from about 4pm to four am. When we left, we had headaches and nausea. Had to stop couple times on way home- if you know what I mean. Only thing we could figure is carbon monoxide poisoning. If you are sleeping, you won't even know that it's affecting you- you just will not wake up. You do the math- a generator inside a garage kills a person- a heater in a small shack could do the same thing. So venting is a must.
um, a little confused, are we talking about CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO (carbon monoxide). I'm thinking CO cuz that would be the dangerous stuff that could kill you that comes from burning fossil fuels.
As far as sleeping on the ice at night, If the shelter doesnt have a floor get lots of fur bows. Build your bed outta fur bows then cover them with a wool blanket or some sorta of covering. That should keep you from getting cold due to the ice. A cot would be better. just my .02
Be sure to get landowner permission before cutting the fir bows.
