Alcohol in a shack/tent
 

I know it's illegal to consume alcohol on the lake because it's in public, but is it illegal if it's in a shack or tent?

PS I'm not going to go out and get wasted on the ice, just be nice to put a little something in my coffee.

thanks

I was under the impression it was a prerequisite.

I'd look up an older law about being out of sight. Brown Bagging beer was legal well into the eighties and there is a funny law about drinking on your porch "if a person on a sidewalk can reach you at arms length, you are breaking the by-law".

I won't say anything if you don't.

Put a cot and a sleeping bag in your ice shack and your good to go. I haven't done this my self but have seen it and a F&W officer said it was legal.

best one I seen couple years ago, couple guts took an old holiday trailer on the ice cut a hole in the floor, and proceeded fishing and drinking. lol. although I quit drinking couple years ago, I couldn't help but think, why didn't I think of that?

You have to have a bed and a cooking source and than you are good to go.

I have a few beers but keep it respectful at anytime....If you are being responsible and not being an idiot drunk....You will be ok..

I have had a couple CO,s check me on the ice and they were ok with a beer or two....Just don't have a flat with ya....:)

lot of trouble to go through just to bring booze.... Wonder if a couple blankets and my hiking stove counts?

:happy0034:

Wear the right clothes
 

If you wearing a Ford Nation tee shirt ,you are good to go ...

Just don't get into a drunken stupor.....

Bathroom , cooking facilities good to go ...but like the guys on sylvan found out expect the GRC to be parked at the ramp to bust them an shove the driver in the back seat, tow the truck and let me give the two other "responsible" drinkers back to town.

a bit of baileys isn't going to hurt! everything in moderation

HUMM I think some things are better left un-said :thinking-006:

He didn't do anything wrong here, just asking if he can have something he can put in his coffee in his tent and if it was legal, don't know how it's better left unsaid, i think this is a great question. i would also like to know if it's legal to have a shot well in the ice shake.

It think he meant "Better left unsaid" meaning "no one needs to know".

It is only illegal if you don't share with me.

once u make your tent a temporary residence you are perfectly legal to enjoy a drink. Sleeping bag and stove and a bag in a bucket for # 2 is all you need...just be sure to clean up the cans so others don't have to

So if I have a bed and cooking material .... Is crack ok too ? lol

Only if you are in a drunken stupor and you are an elected official.

oh ****, I forgot the drunken stupor part, so just to make sure

#1 , Get **** faced
#2 , Set up cot
#3 , Take a **** in a bucket

if these three steps are followed I can consume crack !

Sweet deal man, Thanks for the heads up


:sSig_cool2:

You crack me up:sHa_shakeshout:

Like what others said, most CO's aren't there to ruin a good day.
If you have a vehicle, use common sense and don't get carried away.
Clean up, and respect others.
Honesty will be everything when it comes to chatting with and LEO that comes up and talks to you. If they ask, tell them you have a 6 pack between you and a buddy for the day. Generally they wont care and move on!

Classic "robfordism"!! Yep we have a name for it now. And me and jay have rolled it out a few times tonight!!

x2 As long as it's a "temporary residence". It's the same as camping.

Everything is legal til you get caught.

Don't spill :thinking-006:

Haha, knowing you and Jay your probably still up at this hour working on that "drunken stupor". Birds chirping yet?

No man, there's fishing to be done!

ill be drunk in my shack...i dont care...if a fish cop wants to harass me go ahead....the only way you are gunna get me out of my shack is with a real cop there...and me in cuffs
