If You Don't Ice Fish...You wouldn't understand

I'm all for ice safety. I'd say that all of us probably are. But so many aspects of ice fishing seem very dangerous to people who don't ice fish themselves. For example, connecting a ladder to the main ice on a lake, or wearing chest waders and hopping on the main ice shelf is not really a dangerous activity if you know the lake well enough. Especially if the water you are crossing to get to the ice is shallow and the water you are going to be fishing is shallow. Many people though, think it's crazy that I do such a thing. But, I don't think it's very risky when I'm drilling through 15 inches of ice on the main lake. The shores pulled away a little bit, but no big deal.

Any other examples you can think of where If you don't ice fish, you wouldn't understand...

like having to walk a different path to your tip -up, every time you check it

like in the tent when the ice is just CRACKIN'  like gun shots in the dark of nite

like actually fishing where open water is close

like bringing the smokey joe on the ice-think a brat tastes good at brewers game? have one grilled on the ice
