Ok, so did you "cut" the hole or just jump up and down a few times? ![]() [/quote] Kristi, I actually punched the hole using the bottom of Steves steel 72 w/o a tank boot to break the ice. You can see the ice thickness in the pics (1st and 3rd) where Steve is holding a piece of ice edgewise, it is approx 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" thick. I came across a formula, I seem to recall that the military uses for ice strength, of the square root of the weight (in tons), times 4, equals, the number of inches of clear ice needed to support, that weight. Using this formula: A fully loaded 18 wheeler at 40 tons would require 25.3" of clear ice. My Silverado that I use to pull the Impulse would require 6.3" of clear ice. Me, without gear, (150 pounds) requires 1.095" of clear ice. Me, with gear, (say 250 pounds) requires 1.414" of clear ice. Now, using this formula and numbers for ice thickness it provides do seem very conservative :-\, but then again the military has a job to do, and its not like their paying for anything that might be lost thru, too thin of ice. It does appear that this may be the bare minimum to support a given weight, it seems to hold true with a divers weight anyway. To continue to check on this formula I will need to wait for tonight or maybe even tommorrow night (they say a low of 3 below for tonight, Brrrr) since we only had 5 or 5.5" on Prior yesterday, before I can get my Silverado out there cruising about when she reaches the full 6.3" I'll let you know how it works out.

Terry use the bottom of a steel 72 to punch a hole. He couldn't concentrate the energy enough with a foot. So the truth lays someplace between cutting a hole and falling in.
Shooter, it shouldn't be long before I'm back in the Viking. I'm slumming in my other drysuit while the Viking see repairs.
Ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you.

I asked because the rules on page one say "cut hole" So bashing your way through isn't cutting. Technicality aside, this one would slide by me as you were appropriately icing it. Had you not had your buddy and safety gear you'd be down a ice dive for this contest.
Note for the end of the contest- if you can't "cut" the hole it doesn't count. Could still count for an ice dive, but if you locate any loot it's out.
The only thing I take seriously when it comes to diving is safety.

Ahhhh, Objection your Honor,,,,,,
What if folks didn't own a nice chain saw like mine, or even a nice hand ice saw like Steve's, and used ice spuds to "chop" (lol or blast, ![]() Now I do realize how I shot myself,,, I mean shot for the stars in having judges make these calls, (with all that icing experience of yours Honarable Kristi) ![]() Ohhh, I have a joke for my judges down in the jokes section,,,,,

Re: TRINITY'S 1st Annual 2010/2011 Icing/ Anchoring Challenge
So your argument is a hole is a hole?
I guess but I also wonder how long it would take to chop a two foot thick hunk of ice?

Look at what Nate and Art had to do to cut a hole in Mille Lacs.
He cut that hole with nothing but a dog and and Ice scooper! "You got to want it!" to cut 34 inches of ice with a 20 inch chainsaw. I did the search:

some die hard tonka freaks might be able to track this spot by the partial tree in the background. someone should make an underground dive spot maps with volutary areas that have been searched, so that we all know were not to go.
