Took this picture on my way trout fishing mid February, do I need a shelter and a heater? For me A BIG YES.
Do I need a fishfinder…no, do I need a power auger? With my arthritis another big yes. Do I need live scope… nah. Do I need a snowmachine and a quad, no…. But I wouldn’t get to 80% of the places I go. Life is short…make it as fun and comfortable as you can is my thinking.
With the tent, Ion ice auger, sled, pack and gear, maybe forty five pounds. Often, fishing with a buddy, one of us brings a shelter and the other brings an auger. For back-country lakes I take a hand auger. I am going for crappies tomorrow, no shelter, minimal gear but with the Ion, total weight probably 25 pounds. HTH
