Jimbo, I’ve been in a few (not quite so fancy) and you have a blast. The ice is so thick near the edge where all the fishies are, and not in the middle of the lake. It gets so cold that there is often over 6 ft. of solid ice. You can drive a fully loaded tractor-trailer and it wouldn’t crack. Check out ice bridges, that’s how the industries keep moving in the winter months in colder areas. Besides that…..crack me a beer, and dangle a line. They like corn nibblets on a hook, works every time. Just don’t put on Oprah on the tv.
The first pic clearly shows the shoreline of a lake followed by TREES! When did Antarctica get trees? I suspect these pics were taken somewhere in Canada.
pfft, it’s not cold in there, they’re heated/insulated. yeah, i also doubt antarctica, could be anywhere in the midwest but north dakota (where the state tree is the telephone pole).
check out pics from the International Eelpout Festival btw… there’s literally a small town out on the ice (including bar), i’ve seen one that was 2 stories with an aquarium. Big lake in northern MN, this is where I go muskie fishing every year. http://www.eelpoutfestival.com/images/photos08added/index.html
after perusing the pics mike, you may find there is something about the cold that is fun 🙂
If it’s too cold, it walks forward 3 ft.
If it’s too hot it walkenbach 4 ft.
It’s just like KLAW, too HOT!!
Ken you understand how insulation works.
And that my friends, is total B.S., well except for the KLAW part.
That thing looks….heavy.
I’d love to visit one of these and ask the guys “hey, what’s crackin’?”

This owners idea of roughing it is a black and white TV.

Bella, try canned peas. Line them around the hole and when the fish comes up to take a pea, whack em on the head. lol
Thats a skookum ice fishing hut.
Is there something about cold that is fun?
Fun huh? Well, your testicles get a lot closer to ya.

I am digging the cooler on the outside, what the hell is that for?
Klaw – That’s for the bag of ice they bought at the gas station to keep the beer cold.
Actually, the cooler insulates against cold too and probably keeps
the beer from freezing solid. That would be a disaster.
Bella, how do it know to keeps things hot or cold? dunno.
OOPS
KLAW – Looky there ^ !! Some damned good-fer-nuthin b@stard stole your avatar!!

My computer is all hosed up, I talked to Fish Taxi about it and I have the dreaded blue screen of death. Please send help.
KLAW – Looks like that Walkenbach dude did it.

^That’s what Kate was wondering, too.
Welcum bach Walkenbach! \o_
