I was raised in upstate new york and hav been Iice fishing since I was old enough to walk. My father thought that if other people drove their trucks on the ice then it was safe to walk in their tracks.
As a young man and guide in NY I ventured on to ice that was way to thin with my friends to fish that majic "first ice". We would fish always fish with a buddy . Those pick things are not much good ,I've had to use them twice in my life.
What is best is to attach a 50' or so to your self and the other end to an inflated innertube. The second time I went in I pulled my tube to me and self rescued.
