We loaded up and buggered off as that was enough. Heard stories at work that the ice heave actually had separated anglers from their trucks/gear so had to get rides off the lake at the provincial park and back on the ice at the marina to get their trucks/ gear etc....never ever experienced that...scared the bejesus out of us.

I've always had that in the back of my mind while camped out on the ice. I have heard stories of people having a big crack open up right in their tent while fishing.
I've also wondered about getting hit by a car when crossing the street, but I cross it anyways. Life in a cocoon would be boring.
