I
I did, No ice is safe ice. Hopefully you understand that.
You think anyone who has gone through meant to do it?
I never said you were dying, I said I had a family member die on the lake your talking about going on 2 days after it froze. He went through when most of the lake had 10 inches of ice.
You think he knowingly went out on a snowmobile thinking it was not safe? Stuff happens man and you need to be ready for it.
Always be prepared to go through. I always when traveling on ice have picks on me and wear my floater . Early in the season you must spud your way out. And don't go solo.
