Wind

[coldbum]

After some of our recent adventures and misfortunes on Lake Tanglefoot with the wind.
I think a revision and redesign might be in order for next year.

Anyone want to share some advice on shanty design and protecting it from the wind?

[adkRoy]

Design your shanty so that it faces into the wind the lengthwise. Also and old trick we learned was place a eye hook high up on the shanty and tie a rope to it then tie a rope to a board, drill a hole and put the board, with rope attached down the hole under the ice. Acts as a good ice anchor.

I use basically the same thing but mine is made of 1x1" aluminum tubing with a hole drilled off center so when you give the rope some slack it tips down on one end to make it easy to bring back up through the hole.
