Ice Safety

Hi all:D
I was visiting some of my friends fishing reports on Little Bay de Noc and found this link on what to do if you fall throug the ice. Very informative. I thought I should share it here...safety first! There are 3 movies.
I hope you enjoy! Be safe

Wow, very cool. Thanks for sharing! Most of that stuff was common sense, but things you may not think about in the event of an emergency. Now that I have seen the videos, I would think my odds have improved.


I am going fishing! :lol:

I watched the videos a few weeks back when the link was posted on this site. Lots of great info, hopefully a few more members will watch these very informative videos!

Those are some pretty cool movies. I liked the one on the snowmobile being i snowmobile just as much as i ice fish. I fell through the ice last year and found it to not be as bad as i thought it would be. I was out of the water just as fast as i was in it. One thing i just wouldn't ever want to do is fall through the ice on the river with a current. that would be very hard to get out of.

I would think once would be enuff and wouldn't want to find out again if it was "not as bad" :coco:
