Ok, either I'm ice fishing wrong, or you all are ice fishing wrong.

There is nothing about going out on the ice, into a tiny little tent, on a day where outside temperatures might at best get above freezing, putting on a zillion layers, not having access to a restroom with soap and running water, and getting my hands full of larvae guts and fish slime, that makes me think "gosh, it's a shame to waste this cramped, semi-private space, I should really find a way to 'get busy' in here".

I don't want to kink shame anyone, but the thought of all that just doesn't start my tractor, if you know what I mean.
I’m no ice fishing expert, but I think I’ve seen “shanties“ with little heaters, still small, but not brutally cold. Anyway, some cheap people will get busy in the nastiest of places. Not necessarily for prostitution as the mayor from Ohio worries, but just to save money or psychological issues. A previously flooded condemned house that has to be a mold pit for example… yup cheap date kinda guys bringing women or whatever. Just one more thing, if one fishes one gets fish things on their hands, if one goes to the shanty for reasons other than fishing, one gets that on their hands. I don’t think it’s a both type of situation. Unless you‘ve been thinking about this like a truck stop situation with sexworkers visiting the shanties of unsuspecting innocent ice-fishers. Hey, is that a plot of a porn film? :agressive: Don’t answer, that was a rhetorical question.

On the ice fishing topic; I went ice fishing several times as a kid in MI. We did not use no stinkin tents & managed to get enough for dinner before we were totally frozen. I'll add it was a nice outdoor activity, enjoying, or at least experiencing the weather & nature's splendors.

Sitting in a semi closed dark tent seems a less wholesome experience, even w/o fornication & such (not that there is anything wrong w that).

Probably some circumstances I'd hang out in one of those tents, say if there was a 30 pack of Genny Cream, and it was Sunday in a dry town. Add little fish fried in butter? OK

Anyway, no one ice fishes here though, salt water and currents make it too interesting.

@Hoppy2bmerry My wife says there are four kinds of snakes she doesnt like.
- Live ones
- Dead ones
- Little ones
- Big ones

She would have freaked being locked in a plane with one.

My mother would have literally had a panic episode. Did you notice there was no mention of what type of snake they thought it was? Well, there are only 7 venomous species native to the country.

If I worked at a morgue, I'd have a nice side-hustle selling carpool corpses (just the John and Jane Doe types). I don't know how long they'd stay fresh/believable though. Would need repeat customers so I'd probably allow them to "break down" after X time like with cars.
All that from a skeleton!
