John's Ice Shack

Movable Ice Shack

[@116dcj]

Great Story...Some Grandchild will have a great mentor to learn from!

[@8ballred538]

He is so cool. The ice shack was great and that can crusher is ingenious! They have some long cold winters. The first time I saw the Ice shack way of life was on "Grumpy Old Men". Back then I thought that would be so fun to do.

[@sherilynneploughman2038]

Made me smile. We oldsters still have it!

[@BR-it2qe]

I really enjoyed his dialect as well. "And I says" strong "O" sound. Very Upper Midwestern.

[@MrQuimby34]

I love this, we can learn a lot from our older generation.

[@russelljuers4644]

love these creative guys. I have met many in my lifetime living in Northern Wi. I am a machinist and the old guys like this are creative and independent, not may left in our throw away society.. I am going to remake my shack into something likes Joe has so I can move to find the fish and not have to drill so many holes all the lake. Great idea. If you see my shack on Lake Alice in Tomahawk Wi I will give Joe the credit he is due..

[@kurtsletmoe8393]

Good Job JOE! You have a Great Mind for mechanical things. What a great idea!

[@chrisgreen8539]

That can crusher idea is totally brilliant, and there's a huge market for something like that today. Two thumbs up to Joe Podner for inventing it.

[@nohandle257]

Truly. I just hate it when my whole left side sink counter stacks up with empties and it takes me several minutes to crush them. I know I know. I 'could' crush them as I drink them but then I could not drink at all. Equally likely to happen.

[@wayne8276]

You are so cool Joe . I agree with you on the type of ice fishing you do. . Good luck this season 👍 . Thx for sharing . Glad I ran across your story.

[@curtjohnson2003]

That's an intelligent man. Hopefully he has young family members to pass it on. I could listen to his stories all day long

[@ericpotter1917]

I love this state and it's people. I can only hope I manage this at that age.

[@Unctahdew]

And we now have the sno bear! And it’s selling like crazy. Polaris shouldn’t have turned that idea down

[@johnrekemeyer7461]

Apparently I have been ice fishing all wrong. Here's to you Joe! What a treat it would have been to sit and chat with this gentleman and catch a few fish on hard water.

[@coldspring624]

Hats off to John....how many guys have thought about a shack like this and never followed through with it.

[@billallen7716]

Love the shack would love to see more of how you put it together

[@SnappySnapfire]

I love this! I need to look around for some tracks wish I knew how he did it. What a slick idea.

[@ABC-jb2rg]

A very creative old man! I love it!

[@renejosundvall]

Joe is a genius!! People like him should be praised for his expertise!

[@ShirlBussman]

My son would love this. He is a tinker too and a ice fisherman. Any kind of fishing is his thing.

[@janenienaber3363]

I love it. Credit goes to Joe in his senior wisdom !

[@jpayte]

That's awesome! Great ingenuity. I don't live in an area that snows, but if I did, I could definitely see this as a deer blind as well.

[@free7892]

VERY COOL!!! I love a great idea...........

[@timkaczmarowski8151]

good to see Joe was an Old Style man, a toast to Joe, landed a nice northern there too

[@dslilya]

We NEED this fish shack! Would be so much easier to take our wheelchair bound son fishing!!

[@xcalibre222]

What a wonderful guy. God bless him and his ideas. My Mom used to make pickled northern too. Great snack. This motorized ice hut would be a hot seller around the lake areas. Thanks for the vid

[@amrenninger]

Wow what a cool old man Jack is

[@johnrichardson3715]

This man is a genius

[@hardykalberlah9035]

Brilliant idea and I'm sure there are a number of commercial applications.

[@CharlesPatrickWildCanada]

Excellent idea Joe! They would sell big up here in Canada for sure.

[@paulrenier1550]

This guy is my hero

[@gregoryjamesaustin]

The 1st Snowbear.

[@heidistrom8737]

love it...what a guy !

[@ernestkurtock3413]

My track truck is going to be the next ice fishing shack!!!

[@greglaplante6717]

This is the type of Ice House I need. Cheaper than a snow bear!

[@juanitarasmussen7914]

Just love this, a strong midwestner, must be swede or norweigen. Love it.

[@neileuliano9670]

This gentlemen is my hero....

[@paullanyi516]

What America Is All About !

[@hespheiden1]

I love his hat.

[@adventurefishing3190]

That is awesome!

[@JoeRemitz]

I believe his name is "Joe" not "John".

[@Barbararose1960]

It is Joe. He was an old friend of my parents.

[@mackbolan968]

Very smart common sense thinking and environmentally responsible

[@robertpyoder6337]

This is pretty cool. Think I will stick to Fly Fishing though!

[@terryklemesrud758]

Really inventive!!!

[@duluthcityhall]

....luv it Buck......

[@2coolhipdude]

Good job Joe. Hope you're enjoying yourself.

[@michaelolson9872]

Someone from my hometown would do something like that.

[@robgrubb420]

[@rickrick7309]

Love that man👍

[@vintageslednut]

I think it is just awesome. My respect to you!

[@marcelstjean]

very cool

[@terrelll.howard3257]

He is a thinker "

[@nickclute]

Am I the only one bothered by the video being entitled "John's" when his name was "Joe"?

[@donnapodnar8486]

Joe passed away several years ago & now his nephew, John, has it & is very proud of his Uncle Joe :)

[@Overwatch118]

***** Who is the hell calls some one named John, Joe? My name is John and I dont answer to Joe for no one.

[@yamati150]

How can anyone leave a negative feedback on this???

[@2coolhipdude]

PETA

[@yamati150]

2coolhipdude Oh, idiot haters who feel they need to preach their beliefs because everyone else is supposed to care.. Gotcha.. Oh well, tonights smelt feed was delicious!!

[@houndsmanred]

Good stuff!

[@Ludwigvonweinershnitzle]

Is his name Joe or John, "you know?"

[@paulzacher6395]

OLD STYLE!!! YOO BETCHA!!

[@larryhare2525]

Joe P. is the man!!!!

[@wisconsinbush2940]

Wonder what ever happened to his ice shack? I'd buy it

[@TimothyTocci]

gotta love it!

[@ATOMMIK1969]

Awesome

[@johnc.carter6774]

Why is the video called "John's ice shack" when the guy's name is Joe? (Joseph Podner).

[@donnapodnar8486]

Joe passed away several years ago. His nephew, John now has it & is very proud of his Uncle Joe :)

[@johnc.carter6774]

Donna Podnar Cool! Glad to hear it's being preserved in the family. What a great uncle to have. (I see I wasn't the only one commenting on the video's title. Maybe a more appropriate title would be "John's Uncle Joe's Ice Shack"...?) :-) Thanks!

[@donnapodnar8486]

:)

[@1_fishin_magician153]

I bet his father was from Russia ....

[@isaacmetzgerOUTDOORS-GAMING]

so funny

[@deniswahl]

My father's "Pickled Pike" recipe is/was much better than this guys tasty dream but I have no match to his motorized ice shanty... Whatta true blue ice fisherman...
