Survival in the ice
This is a good series of videos originally played on Discovery Channel's Daily Planet show. Conveniently, someone on another forum posted the series of videos so I can re-post them here.
Anyone of all experience level who are heading out on the ice should watch these videos. Safely first...and in worst case scenario if you happened to find thin ice and fall in, you must know what to do to survive. Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear.

RE: Survival in the ice
How NOT to attempt rescue...
Not trying to be harsh since these are Californians...but it just illustrate the point...don't get too close when you're attempting to rescue the person who has fallen in...and watch the edge of the ice. It also demonstrates how NOT to get out of the ice... Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.

RE: Survival in the ice
those videos are done by professional. I'd say it would be helpful to analyze every situation. if possible call someone of authority unless you are alone when this happens, then this video is very helpful. Do not be a hero if there are other alternatives or you just might be the 2nd body on the water.

RE: Survival in the ice
Getting in trouble out on the ice can get real serious real quick whether you're ice fishing or snowmobiling.
I had several friends die not being "smart" - they ran their sleds into open water at night on a "supposed" frozen lake lake in Muskoka. If you're a rookie - earn your stripes, and learn the ropes under the mentoring of an experienced person or guide/service. Trial and error is not advisable in situations involving possible hypothermia and drowning. <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |

RE: Survival in the ice
Amen to that OT!
Even an experience ice angler should seek advice whenever you fish a new location or a new lake. Hazards are often hidden. Although you could study hydrographical map, current areas (from old creek bed, saddles, inside turn on bays), underwater springs, pressure cracks could be hard to see (especially when covered with snow). Even simple things as thin ice around bridges, cliff faces and shallow rocky shoals may not be intuitive to novice (sun heats up these surfaces and the ice surrounding these areas could be thinner). It is always wise to consult with local anglers, local hut operators and local bait shops to see which areas to avoid. Even with over 15 years of ice fishing experience (which isn't saying much actually), I still will not simply pick a lake and location and explore. You risk doing something really stupid and end up in a hazardous situation. Maybe a few of the more experienced members can help write a ice safety article.

RE: Survival in the ice
When I was walking back home from school today I noticed 5 kids that looked to be about 12 that were running, jumping, and riding their scooters on Mount Joy Pond and the pond didn't look at all safe enough for people to be on it, and they were all the way out in the middle, I should have called them off but at the time it hadn't crossed my mind (they probably wouldn't have listened to me anyway). Hopefully nothing bad happens...

RE: Survival in the ice
Giuga10, it seems you live nearby as I often pass by Mountjoy as well. Is there any fish in that pond at all on any given season?
