how do you get to your ice fishing spot?
its becoming a tug a camp when its time to go ice fishing any more with all the stuff you have to drag in...

this has got me wondering, what all do you pack in when you go, and how are you getting there, like by what means of transpertation... Snow Shoeing ect...

I use a jet sled and have been trying to work out a multi-use sled with some comforts.
In this picture you see most of the loose gear.
The duffle is the tarp and frame work for the wind break. The 10" auger.
The buckets have the rod holders and jiggers ( if you need a taller bucket, cut the bottom out of one and put it inside another and use a round head screw screwed from the inside, into the point where the wire handle is in the outter bucket, shouldn't snag on things as much)
The spoons (notice the foam on the handles, so when they head for the hole they will not sink away) will be on the floor by the auger.
The wooden box (now an aluminum box) holds rods, tackle, stove, tools, sonar, bait, etc.

This is the windbreak and does a nice job if the wind isn't too strong. As you can see the box becomes a bench and the stadium chair gives my back some support.

I will be incorporating more rod holders in to the pvc frame to make moving easier and have rods with different setups ready ( we an have 5 rods here in Idaho)

I lke your set up. I have a jet sled as well but never thought of rigging anything like that up. Wouldn't mind an ice tent though, but they are a little pricey.

The price and the size (won't fit in the back of the cherokee with all the other gear).

Check out the SnoBear at .snobearuag.com. I simply load my ice gear in the machine at the beginning of winter and it is there for the winter. You can trailer it to your favorite lake and enjoy fishing beyond the plowed road to use the whole lakeFishin'. I have one and enjoy ice fishing in any weather condition in total warmth and comfort Angelic.
