Anyone wanna do this over the channel break? We'll use your new auger I have a bowmount trolled and battery. I can see it now a bunch of NDA members on a big wheel.

Interesting concept/tactic.

I would last about 15 seconds with those douche bags. OHMYgOD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!! CONTRIVED BANTER AAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No.

Near the outside edge, drill a couple holes together so you could shove a 24V trolling motor down the hole and set it to WFO.

I can't fathom knowing you were going to be making that big wheel and NOT figuring out how to have a chainsaw in-hand.

 

[Mr. Stevenson]

^^^^Hell yes. Don't get the "WFO" but still hell yes.

wide fucking open?

Ding ding ding!

 

[Rowdie]

I don't know if a saw would work. You guys with new light electric augers could make a big wheel in no time.

 

[Mr. Stevenson]

"WFO" is a fine acronym.

I think the current in the river might bind things up. Need to do it over some slack water.

Ooooh kind of like we drove our cars in the 60s ---- pedal to the metal. I wonder if today kids call it pedal to the plastic?

I wonder how they are going to get their stuff. I would be rather sad to lose my gear

Moment of silence for all those cheddar bratwursts and crappy Wisconsin beers that were lost at sea. Almost gets a guy choked up. Hope no one got their blaze orange bibs wet or dropped their dumbass fur hats off the edge of the ice

I would think making the cuts in a perfect circle would be the challenge first, then how much force to get it moving.

Might be a great time.

They had to get it going with a snow machine. But man they cut a big wheel. I think a guy fishing the perimeter every 20 ft would be a good way to see which baits work best.

Is there even ice on the dead sea? how thick of ice would a person want to be safe, obviously more is better... how small of a circle before it could flip when you step on?

The size of the ice circle would be dependent on the thickness of the ice. Ice is roughly 90% of the density of water: .90 x 62.4#/cf = 56#/cf. Four cf of ice would float a 200#+ person. Ice 14" thick would make 1 sf of surface ice 1 cf of ice. That's as far as I'm going to go.
