Strawberry 2/1/25 with a bonus fish

I find it amazing how folks take a lot of heavy equipment ranging from ATVs, snowmobiles, snow dogs plus more equipment on sleds in tow and their body weight onto the ice. Thats a lot of weight to be trusting ice to hold and you have neighbors next to you contributing their share of weight with similar like equipment. I always see news reports across this country of how some break thru with either a tragic ending or just lucky to be alive. I know the question is always about thickness suitable. Is it calculated for just an individual or is the thought involved with heavy equipment to be supported?
