People need to educate themselves and deal with the repercussions of a stupid f'n decision. Understand that temp fluctuations like we've had arent conducive to safe ice conditions. Wear a PFD. Wear ice picks. Have ample rope handy. Spud as you go. Invest in friends that'll tell you "it's not a good idea".

Jesus christ...if people just paused for a minute and pulled their heads outta their asses we'd have far fewer statistics.

Very well said
