Knowing that no ice is ever safe ice, what thickness would you think is safe to have two guys a heater and shanty set up? I see all these charts for walking snow mobiles and trucks etc...

may I add 4" of GOOD ICE! For example,was out Thursday,but now we have rain mixed with snow and warm weather=not exactly the same ice I was on Thursday!
 Just putting this out there for some of the less experienced anglers.
