the clove hitch is for attaching the line to the stick that is the anchor point a Sheet bend is for attaching lines of two different sizes or ah um a sheet as in a sale or tarp http://useknots.com/bends/sheet-bend/I suppose you could use a double fisherman's knot ooooh, sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, sheet bend for sure. I would imagine with rope going to fishing line you would have to go around the rope with the fishing line a few dozen times to get the rope to stay bent, but certainly doable I think!

Great video. I went through in Feb up to my chest and could not feel the bottom. I was darn lucky to power out with my elbows. First attempt, my one elbow broke through and I thought I was in real trouble. I lucked out and must have gotten a thick edge which supported me. I did not crawl out but stood up, because I didn't know any better. I was getting REAL cold and hypothermia was setting in by the time I reached my truck. Made an ice pick and packed a flotation device, and rope for next trip. I was alone on the ice; another bad move..... Good to hear you survived the ordeal. Lots didn't this year. Now you can plan! A change of clothes can go a long way too

Good video Hutchy.......nice list of things to have. I don’t have a float coat....but have the ice pics around my neck....and never go ice fishing alone. And I don’t chop ice for beaver.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I think it would add realism for sure. I think my outer layers freezing solid would be a good challenge. At least at those temps everything isn't soaking wet, and making a fire is actually easier.

Very educational on how to use the picks. I do think you are a bit crazy. A bit crazy?? The dude is flat-out nuts!!! I wonder if fishing with Hutch is like fishing with R.P. McMurphy!

Good video.I fell through many years ago on my way out ice fishing.Luckily,I had my trapping basket on to carry my gear,,and that kept me from going all the way under.I still went in up to my chest and it instantly took my breath away like I got punched in the gut.I had no ice pics,but managed to get out.It was ten below and windy.My cloths froze instantly and I looked like the Tin Man waddling back to shore.My truck wasn't far,,so I made it to the truck and got the heat going.I go out much more prepared now days,,and your video has a lot of good tips.

I too have done the walk back when your clothes are so froze you cannot get them off till they thaw! A trapping buddy went through once with a pack basket full of traps, and he went right down...managed to come straight up though.

Great video , Hutchy. I have never had the pleasure, of going all the way in. A few soakers , with waders on , were enough for me. Keep them coming. I still have to figure out how , to subscribe. Can you tell us how. old243 if you have a google account or a gmail and you are logged in, all you have to do is click the subscribe button.

Can you tell us how. old243 What Bernie said. I think you can also just have a youtube account. I have a lot of trapping footage from fisher/marten season too. Hoping to put out a ton of other trapping videos as well. Maybe even some nuisance stuff.

I never had the capability to do video. Have spent more time than most playing in cold water though. Trust me you won't be as quick to get in as you get older.. LOL!
Is very good video though and I applaud you my man..
I might even steal or use parts of it show some of the people I work with.
Thanks for posting.
I do have a similar simple home made version of the picks your using. I've used lots different picks over years don't think ever bought any.
