When Ice fishing goes bad.
« on: February 21, 2022, 11:56:04 AM »
 :yike:



Seth Trobec was alone in a portable shanty, line in the water, when suddenly the shanty began to slide rapidly across the ice.

His fishing companion, Cody Mjolsness, had left on a snowmobile to fetch another friend and had forgotten to unhitch a tow line connecting the snowmobile to the shanty.

The accompanying footage, captured by a GoPro camera mounted inside the shanty, shows Trobec screaming while attempting to control his balance, and bailing from the shelter like a man jumping from an airplane.

That's hilarious.  Looks like the thing was airborne.

I may have found the tow vehicle. Look at the glow on the exhaust pipes.   :chuckle:
In the comments it was suggested for a heat shield between the Propane tank and the exhaust.  :dunno:

Naw, the extra heat just helps the propane boil off faster..

That's crazy, hard to believe if it wasn't for a GoPro.

Does that jet pack qualify as a motorized vehicle?

I did notice that safety glasses were just a suggestion.  But with everything else going on you can't remember everything.

Not a motor, a jet engine.😉

Those are pulse jets, Youtube frequently has them in my personal algorithm  :chuckle:

There's no moving parts in them, it's just a carefully designed pipe with chambers like a two stroke pipe and pulse waves.
