Ice-fishing?
So you guys really do that and live to tell about it...
What is thick enough ice?
I used to be spooked about walking on the ice, seeing as how I came from down south when I moved up here. But the stuff is surprisingly strong and there's really not much danger involved if you use some sense. The F&G up here say that 4" is safe for walking, 6" will hold an atv or snomachine, 10" for compact cars, and 14"' is safe for SUVs and trucks. I won't drive my truck on less than 2 feet and like to add about 2" to each of their estimates just to be safe but have no qualms walking out when we have 5-6".
Winters are long up here and the wife isn't always in the mood for romance so we have to find something to occupy our time.
