Thin lake ice is a huge danger for all outdoor enthusiasts. First and most important ice safety rule: Ice is never 100% safe! In this video, I am showing you 4 ways to check the ice thickness and speak about 4 more ice safety rules to minimize the risks while moving on frozen water. 

Last year we had a perfect start to winter. The cold temperatures came before the snow. So the lake ice formed by freezing the clear water. The so-called black ice was formed. The strongest ice ever. 

This year, however, everything looked quite different. After my return from the CDT there was already a lot of snow but only thin lake ice. With these isolating snow quantities, the lake ice will remain dangerous still long into the winter. 

For me with my sled dogs, for ice skaters and snowmobilers, for ice fishermen and skiers a big danger.  Let's go. I'll show you how I minimize the risks of a break-in through the thin ice!
