[QUOTE="KDM, post: 238524, member: 314"] Went out on early ice with a pop up 4X8 home made shak with 2 two trucks. Set up and everything was great until the shack moved a bit. When we tried to get out we realized the weight of two trucks pushed the ice down to the point the trucks slid on the ice, right to the door on the one side and almost to the wall on the other, and locked us in the shack. One man sized hole in the wall tarp later we were outside the shack. However, with one truck on each side of the shack we had a DEVIL of a time getting them apart on that slick, and now wet, ice. We ended up having to pull one truck out by hand with a tow rope and our own horsepower with cleats on our boots to get a handle on things. When we got the other truck backed up, the "Sucking" sound of water being pulled into the holes as the ice rose was something I will NEVER forget nor want to repeat. Like I've said before, early and late ice is fickle and when you add stupidity on top of it..........BAD things can happen. Be Safe out there fellas!!!! [/QUOTE]
