Ice safety

Still haven't been able to get the pick off, but don't really need to. A friend suggested another good use for the Whippet I bought: ice safety on lakes and rivers. I ski and snowshoe out there a lot, and the river currents make the ice depth variable. In case of breaking through, it's great to know the toothed pick is there to reach out to firmer ice and help get out of a hole. No substitute for caution, but one more useful reason to take it along.
