Tips to Stay Safe on the Ice In a Vehicle
- If the ice is thick enough for parking, move your vehicle every two hours to prevent sinking.
- Make a hole near your vehicle; if water begins to overflow, move your vehicle immediately.
- Ice seldom freezes uniformly and weakens as it thaws. Check ice in different places, not just once.
- Park vehicles at least 50 feet / 15 meters apart.
- Avoid areas where other vehicles have parked previously.
- Roll a window down and unlock the doors in your vehicle.
- Avoid pressure ridges and areas with currents (such as channels).

As a Canadian that pan fish's all time it late season if the ice is safe and easy to walk on (not three feet of snow) just walk instead of being lazy.

That air boat recovery vehicle worked better than I expected

[leesuschrist]

I for sure thought the front of the air boat was going under. That was a friggin nail biter.

Nice bluegill, pumpkinseed, crappie and perch.

Recovery crews - tried hard for sure. Glad the airboat got it done.

For Sale. UTV used very little. Always washed after each use.

Here in Michigan they started charging people for rescuing them off the ice whenever they have warnings up about the ice not being safe

The dude chasing the boat at the end LOL

[jodicardosa]

Never would of thought that an airboat had that much power

[coldspring]

The air boat could use a few more inches of free board

Thanks for the very informative video. Appreciate your effort.

And just a few hours earlier those guys were saying…. “Let’s go to the lake. The ice is good. Should be good. Better be good. We’ll be fine!”

P.S. I’ll bet there aren’t too many qualified airboat captains in Canada. This guy is the first I’ve seen. I thought they were all gator hunting and taking tourists out in Florida.

Good video good to know about the airboat deal !

[Imnotyourdoormat]

Seems like those 6 wheelers would be good for getting out there to fish, if it breaks thru the ice its a boat...

When the guy fell through at 6:08 he said...."mmmm ughhhh." 😂

I say just let nature take its course! Only the strong survive! We also need to get rid of all warning labels!

[thevenin]

That was pretty cool, thanks for posting.

[danl]

6:09 I'll get in... he wasn't kidding. Hahaha

[joshuaarcioni]

This is like watching a circus on ice...😂

CRANE on boat moves in a track. So cool. How do they split the bill? Expensive day for the helping atv. Great video to learn a bit from. Thx Canada
