New project

Could always get a fiberglass shell travel trailer like a scamp, modify the axle to be electrically raised and lowered, add floor cut-outs and have a nice, light weight shanty for just a tad more than the skid house

Keeping beed cold when ice fishing is never a problem.

I do not have a shop that allows larger projects that is the problem.

keep it in the cooler with no ice so it doesn't freeze.

Ice fishing, duh.

Ice fishing, duh.

Locals call it ice drinking.

Global warming must be over, around here, we are expecting the coldest air we have had in decades, near -30 degrees. We haven't saw this long of a continuous stretch of below freezing temps in two decades. We are breaking cold temps set back more than 50 years according to weather folks. Guess we bought enough electric cars to to switch over from global warming to global freezing. Guess we need to take a few off the road to get a balance in the temperature. Lol....

We usually drill a hole with the auger, but just deep enough that the auger pilot pokes thru. Instant cooler

Also works as a live well so you don’t have to try to fillet rock hard fish later.

Also allows releasing if you only get a few

They make an ice fishing live well now. You drill a hole put in the net fish are swimming, I use a minnow bucket aerator to prevent iceing over.

you may want to look. without a pilot point, you will never start cutting a hole.

Yes they are very difficult to get started....now I am wondering if that was missing back when I bought it ? Only used it a couple times, then met up with friends that had a power auger.....mine hasn't seen ice in over 30 years.

Gas augers are dead, nobody wants them anymore.

I see most newer ones are now electric. I will never own one because at 75, it is to damn cold for this ole boy...and has been for the past 10-15 years.
