I'm not making the same mistake I made last year getting ready to go months early. Rather gear up in a rush and forget something than have everything ready to go months early  and only get out 1 time.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year. God bless everyone.

ice some slabs and you'll feel like a new man. glad you're ok ibj

my shanty is mostly duct tape now. will that work? lol

i've had the striker coat and bibs for about 5 years. imo it's the best suit made. the bibs have adjustable inseams. and so many pockets you can lose things.

awesome job! wish they had todays technology 40 years ago. the only thing better would be living way up north where they tow their yard barns out on the ice and spend the weekend out on the ice grumpy old men style.

Hope it works for you. My experience with sharpening auger blades has got me buying new ones when needed. The geometry of the blades is a mystery to me. You can get them sharp enough to shave with but they won't cut ice. Had a guy at work who has a surface grinder sharpen mine once. They worked pretty good but not as good as new ones.

See everyone saturday
