I'm just glad I don't live in a place where "ice fishing" is even a thing.... :eek: sorry bout those temps dude!
It is sorta strange to other people but I have been on the ice darn near my whole life. Way back when we would chisel a hole open. I remember my dad picking up his brand new chisel and spear from the blacksmith. Did not make to many extra holes back then. Now I use my 20volt Dewalt brushless drill with a Nils 6" or 8" bit. The 6" will go thru 20" of ice in less than 30 seconds. I have been phasing out my gas motor unless the ice gets thicker than 25". The clothes and boots we have now are soooooo much better then the crap we used when I was a kid. I always have some sort of shelter to get out of the elements. Right now I have 6 different shacks from a 1 man up to a shelter that will hold 6 people if needed. No reason to get cold but hate setting stuff up in these temps because it always seems that stuff happens and it is never good.
