Ice Fishing Gone Wrong Cummins Mega Cab Dodge Salvage

[@jdtractorman7445]

Hey Fred, it's a nice warm day, there is about 4 inches of water on top of the ice and it's been 55 degrees the past 4 days, let's take the truck out on the ice.

Only some kind of moron would drive on frozen ice, as if it wouldn't start to crack. That Truck alone is close to 6000lbs. My 2016 Scion TC is 3,124lbs it's a 2 door car that weighs over 3,000lbs. That's a heavy boat with a V8 that weighs a ton, what did he think was going to happen on the ice.

[@shperax]

Pretty much.

[@colehara]

I could never understand why anyone would take an expensive truck onto the ice.

[@fourbyfourer]

It's a way of the north IF there is lots of ice!! But then you get stupid people that think any ice is good ice to hold a truck, and then everyone see's these kind of videos and thinks that all trucks fall through the ice. Meanwhile thousands of trucks drive on the lakes each winter and 99% of them drive out and drive back off with no problems. In the early 1900's they use to drive teams of horses pulling logs across frozen lakes.

You guys did a great job, how ever you work way to hard, I worked a good number of these situations with a company that uses a lifting unit on two large platoons center over the vehicle drop four cable hook one to each wheel lift high enough to clear the ice and skid the complete system off the ice, in open water the rig can actually float every thing all accomplished with 3 people.

[@edduda3]

[@calvinstachniak4876]

I'm missing something here. Why is there so much damage on the truck for falling thru the ice in the middle of the lake?

[@richardsimmons6526]

Cause the ice doesn't break cleanly around the truck it usually breaks one end first then the ice fucks up shit. Depending on how thick it was.

Same here. I just posted on this exact concern. In Miami when you have a vehicle go in the water by accident it usually isn't all smashed up. I guess the ice can do some damage but that thing looks like it was run into a brick wall at 50 MPH plus it looks like stuff missing from the dash.

[@ScarabChris]

Right at 3:16 you see an oil slick pop up in the water. Certainly an indication that some kind of vehicle or machine is right below. I don't know....maybe this comes from being born and raised in Miami but I would not feel comfortable driving a truck out on a frozen body of water. I know people do it all the time and I guess every so often they hit a thin spot in the ice and lose their trucks. My cousin was also born and raised in Miami. He has lived in Minnesota for the last 10 years and he does the ice fishing thing. They tow big camper trailers out on the ice so they can stay out there with all the comforts of home. His trailer is one of those ones that have retracting wheels so the trailer lays flat on the ice. They there are holes in the floor of the trailer so they can fish in the warmth of the trailer. Heat, satellite TV, bathroom, etc. But no need for a cooler...just put the cold stuff outside. LOL. I don't know how he does it.

[@edduda3]

Probably Bc they know the ice shelf and all natural springs and deadly pressure cracks!!! Thank for the comment.

[@nofascists]

This is an annual routine for tens of thousands of people here in northern Minnesota. 8" of good clear ice minimum for a full sized truck, preferably 12" or more. It's not unusual to see hundreds of "ice castles" on Red Lake or Lake of the Woods in winter, usually beginning mid to late December depending on temperature and snow conditions. By mid to late January there may be 3 ft. of ice depending on temperature and snow cover. Many resorts plow roads out onto the lake for people to drive on. With an occasional mishap of someone sinking their rig, it's pretty standard fare here in the winter. Fishing in an "ice castle", watching football on tv, is not much different than sitting in your living room, fishing. Sleep there, prepare your meals there, etc.
