I just got in on a little of it but people stranded on another ice junk in MN. Sounded like it is going to be a risky rescue mission. I think they said, Red something body of water, but not sure on that.
Hope all turns out fine.

Another one? They just rescued about 30 off there last weekend and had a Bombardier go through the ice on Lake of the Woods and drown one person.
I have nothing clever to put here.

From what I heard when this happens, they only get the people and the equipment is left on the ice. I wonder if that's true. How does a guy tell his wife he needs all new ice fishing gear then. LOL. Just have to get the guts to tell her. Lol

Must be costly to air drop them a bunch of paddles.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Been non-stop . Most of the rescue team members are volunteers . Should start charging the resort's every time they have to go through this . For letting people go out
I'd Rather Try And Fail Then Not Try And Succeed

For letting people go out I was actually thinking the DNR should close the angling season to anything except foot travel and portables. Most people won't walk 3 miles each way to catch a couple of fish. The ice is horrible this year and these rescues are going to continue.

I get the fact that resort's are trying to make a living and people book trips in advance . But common sense needs to be used . Been rescues about every day for last week up here

Let nature run it's course. Eventually the dumb gene will weed itself out. Lol. You know how many colleges are in this country and what they are producing? They outnumber a few dumb fishermen.

Every single avid outdoorsman has pushed the logical limits in thier life. This would not even be " news" if it was one person. But being multiples, it's gonna make headlines. News.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Seems like a smart feller would use a fan boat for transportation up there right now. Cut out the middle man ya know. You'd look like a genius, but there would be no headlines.

I am sure the Wheelhouse Army will be headed North tomorrow and there will be lots more of these. It's sad that "common sense" isn't all that common anymore. We have had a week of rain and 40 degree temps and people are trusting what WAS 8-10 inches of ice a week ago.
