This past weekend, there were a number of people towing their campers onto various lakes and no surprise; a few of them fell through the ice.
Why do people feel compelled to drive a 6000lb truck with a 5000lb trailer onto ice this early in the year, let alone at all?
Maybe I am naive, but it sounds excessive and silly to want to bring that much weight onto the ice just for a few extra luxuries. There are some nice ice shacks out there that weight less than 1000lbs. Pull it with an ATV or snowmobile and you are still lighter than a small car.
