Title: When Ice fishing goes bad.
Post by: Ridgeratt 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.

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..

Not a motor, a jet engine.😉

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

The guy with the jet go cart?

He’s moving fast enough to keep the propane tank cool, just hope he never had a leak.🤣
