Kick sleds

[Scale ' em ']

Thinking seriously about getting a kick sled to use for icefishing. Seems like a quick and simple way to get about on the ice . Does anyone have any experience or advice on using kick sleds ? Below is one sample from the many samples online .

Wood Sports, traditional scandinavian kick sleds made in Michigan

I didn't know what a kick sled was until I did a search for it.

Apparently kick sleds are popular in Scandanavian countries and have been around for a while . Some models are made for icefishing purposes .

They look neat but I dont think it would be effective in deep snow, unless you could follow a beaten down path.

for safety:
- Keep your both hands on handlebar. For turning signal, use your leg
Gotta be tough to light a smoke and swig the jug with both hands on the handlebar and one leg pointing straight out.:lol:

i've seen them used on lake simcoe. they work great when there is no snow , but if there is any significant amount of snow you will be s.o.l.
