We put this on a snowmobile trail map I built earlier this winter:

here are good videos on how to self rescue if you fall through the ice.

I'm still stuck on how you figure out the depth without actually getting out on it ?
Personally, I won't go out until I see tracks from someone more brave !

I generally wait to go out until the ice fisherman are on the lakes so I can see the depth from their holes, but baring that, you are generally safe
after 2 weeks of day and night time temps below freezing. That will create 6-8" of ice depending upon lake depth, wind conditions and how low the
temps go.

Thought I'd bring this to the top for the season. Especially hits home 'cuz we've got a friend just outside the city waiting, freezing on a lakeshore
hoping one of their friends is found after taking off on a snowmobile onto a lake that was only 2cm thick with ice.
Play safe everybody!

Good call, best thing if possible is to never go alone.

What is the drawing on the far left in the picture?

on the far left of the picture in the first post, it is a man falling through the ice when the ice is less than 4 inches thick.
