Hey Matt great videos. It takes some work to get ice ready and I appreciate all the shortcuts you helped me take so I didn’t have to go through all the failure steps. So many issues with condensate and such that you helped me avoid by going with the insulated shelter and having a foam floor cover really was great in the morning so you didn’t have a swimming pool waiting for you. Putting the heaters up on a crate so it doesn’t melt more ice than necessary just a lot of issues you worked through that may not come across in the video, but they make for a great first trip when practiced. I was glad my only real issues were with being over prepared. Don’t know if I mentioned but my Nanook ended up being filled with gear and so it wasn’t available to fish out of like I planned. But I think I’ll fix that next time by taking less stuff and moving it back to the Smitty where I usually carry it. I ended up using the Smitty as my generator sled this trip. Anyway thanks Matt. Later Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
