NOTICE! No guaranties or warranties on safe ice reports

[djkimmel]

There is no such thing as truly safe ice depending on your own personal use and behavior on that ice when you venture out! If you always remember that you'll be better off. Always test ice and new locations as you go out with a spud or some other method that verifies the safety of the ice around you. Remember that ice thickness can vary day to day and location to location even on the same water due to various factors you may or may not be familiar with.

No posts on GLIF guaranty ice safety or that you can go out on the ice yourself successfully too anywhere. You are responsible for your own safety and safe ice practices. Posts on this forum are not recommendations or guaranties - just general informational not withstanding that the post could be inaccurate or out-of-date.

Safe ice posts are a courtesy of the member posting them and GLIF is not responsible for the post or anything that results from your use of that post information.

Always be safe first. GLIF suggests you always keep ice picks readily available along with a rope you can throw to someone, preferably tied to a life jacket you wear especially on ice you are not already intimately and personally recently familiar with. Remember, ice quality can change fast especially early and late in the season, and due to conditions such as rain, snow or warming weather trends.
