good method,
I have a 20 pound spud that I thrust with a fair amount of thrust in to the ice every step, (that is about every 3-4 feet) You are absolutly right, better safe than sorry, and Ice thicknesses can change in as short a distance as one step to another with out any differance in aperance. that is why so many people fall though every year.
if it goes threw then there is less that 3 inches of ice and I turn around and go back the way I came. If not the next step could be my last.
