Jedidiah is not exagarating about the value of staking down your tent. Even if the weather man gives you a 100% guarantee the wind will not blow stake it down anyway.
A very real danger exists if your gear, much less a little kiddo, gets carried away to open water or thin ice over a possibly deeper/warmer portion of the lake.
Please never forget this, the deeper a lake is the more heat is held in that column of water that must rise and dissipate before the top layer chills enough to freeze.
Other than that, ice fishing is awesome!
