Not me, more power to you Flathead. Cold and to much to loose for my money. Good luck.

Need a vehicle that has a floor that opens up to get to the ice. Egghead likes hard water fishing.

I'm a hard water nut.lol but clear over here in Wyoming. Lots of 4 wheelers falling thru lately. Including my CanAm 6 wheeler. Still in the bottom of the pond. Ice is getting soft still ok to walk out but sketchy. When we start falling in on foot it's time to drag the boats out. Good luck Flathead from Egghead.lol

If you guys wanna motorized ice hut with holes in the floor, checkout Wilcraft. It's an amphibious motorized ice hut that can fall thru thin ice and crawl back out. Buddy of mine has one here. I think there made up in Minnesota,????

Yes it is Oz. He's the first one out when we start to get ice and the last one in. He went with me on my great ice Adventure. Left his Wilcraft home. He the one that went into the lake with me when the ice broke.i pulled him and his dog out. I don't think he will go again without his wilcraft.lol

You saved his life buddy. You really did. I enjoyed hearing... well it was good to hear.. not enjoy hearing about very dangerous situation right from the horses mouth. I agree. Take the keys... leave everything hope it’s a cold night... safer run in AM hours for sure... crazy

I’m guessing they supposedly have enough tires and other floatation that they will never sink? I watched the video. Looks like the power train from my chinese side by side. But long frame and few other things.. pretty cool. I guarantee if I was living where I could ice fish I would have one or build one. I have quads but I can see how those will probably less likely fall in due to vehicle length. It distributes the weight over 40 or 40 square feet.

Lol I'm happy with 3" if good clear ice fished on less than 2" before but that didn't count cuz I mighta been high that day.,? Where it went thru was about 2" if crap ice if that.but I got sh$t figured out for next time. I'm Gunna strap a couple of 55 gal drums front and rear to it so it will float.!!!!
