Hi Sam.

All of our fishing is on lake of the woods which we share with Manitoba and Ontario. Most of my winter fishing is done literally a stones throw from Manitoba border (I have to check my GPS to be sure i'm not in Manitoba)

I don't have an LP powered auger but they are probably the best sellers for these parts. From what I understand, if guys are hole hopping with portables, traveling 20-30 miles across the lake in sub zero on sno machines etc. They like to keep the 1 lb lp bottle inside their coat to keep it warm. I've heard this helps a bunch with the cold starting.

But, it is essentially a 4 stroke engine that has crank case oil in it, so it's admittedly not going to start as well as the 2 strokes. (IMHO)


Something clever here.
