Hand auger, ladle, snow pants, tackle, rod, blanket, plastic jug and a sled. Walk on the ice with your gear in tow. Dead stick a line from the jug. Lay under the blanket, snow pants and winter gear on and jig away. U can tatally hear the jug being pulled to the hole when u are jigging. That's my old methodsd in my younger years. Now I take way to much crap...not as fun as its a lot of work. Simple is nice.
