    Any day you can get your son to say, "Dad, I had a good day even though we didn't catch anything" is a great day with good memories.

    I agree with Houston. It is pretty cool and beautiful. I say it’s the perfect day on the farm. Making memories with Houston ice fishing and a warm fire waiting in him when he gets gone.

    Daniel, What a priceless memory Houston has because you let him ice fish in his creek in Oklahoma. And then he tells you he had fun today. Not many fathers take time to have a relationship with their children, much less talk to them during the week. My dad never and I mean never made any effort to acknowledge me. Maybe because I was a girl, I’ll never know, but you are showing others what a dad should be to their children. I’m 73 now and he died about 17 years ago, and I haven’t missed him, because I didn’t know him. I think your channel is one of the healthiest, and family friendly videos on TH-cam. Thank you and DeeJay for being parents to show love to your children. A Texas neighbor

    Grew up with ice fishing dad. Rule#1 is never ever go on the ice of flowing water. That means creek, river, stream, even lakes with springs in them. Here's the reason why: that ice is super fragile tends to crack very easily. One big crack you are frigid water that bloody darn cold. And if the water is flowing faster then you think, you can be pulled under the ice and die. If nothing else you get huge case of hypothermia. Better to be SAFE then SORRY.

    • @BeverlyRampart
      @BeverlyRampart ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yup husband and I use to ice fish in Wisconsin and use to go to Minnesota also ice fishing to. Like you said never go where there is moving water that is froze over..

      @valeriestevens5250 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It looks like Earl is stepping into Bella's paws. One of the first AFH TH-cam videos that I remember watching had Bella in the background gently playing with a very young and rather insecure Bear. It looked like she was trying to make a somewhat bewildered puppy feel more at home. Earl was so sweet with Izzy's kittens and now Kelce.

    We had your ice storm reach us during yesterday’s early AM hours. Many schools were called off & a lot of other things were closed. My hubby was the ONLY one who made it into work, until noontime 2hen the owner’s son went in. I let the 4 dogs out mid-morning & they all went skittering down the 4 patio steps. Then when they came in, two of them fell flat on their little faces! But all were OK. Luckily we didn’t lose electric or water.

    Praying you feel better soon Daniel. I started out the same way two weeks ago and ended up with RSV and pneumonia. When it grabs hold of ya, it doesn’t want to let go. I still haven’t completely recovered from it but I am feeling much better. Stay safe, stay warm, GOD BLESS and see y’all on the next one.

    Chain a disc harrow to the forks on your tractor. Use it to break ice and give traction. Grader blade on the back scraps ice off😊

    Just so you know Houston we drove on the ice in Colorado to ice fish inside a tiny shelter. We even had a heater going so it was quite comfortable. You don't have to go to Alaska to drive on the ice. Take care my friends and keep up the great videos. 😊❤😊

    Actually, this video was pretty informative. I learned about yak tracks and will look into getting some cause I live in Illinois. Also learned varmints don't move around much during this type of weather. Also happy to see Houston had fun in this good weather and keeping a good attitude with not catching anything. So, through just my observation, it was an exciting video, thank you.

    Daniel, if you know someone who does wood turning, there’s a big old ugly growth on a tree by the creek (at 14:42 min) that could be harvested and turned down and made into a neat looking bowl or slab cut to use for a table top of some sort? Just an idea for a future video...

    In NY we were watching people racing their motorcycles over the weekend on the frozen bay and ice fishing. They have to use an auger to drill through the ice. They put up tents around the holes to stay out of the wind. However the police were warning people to be careful of moving water under the ice because they had to do a lot of rescues. Be careful on the ice as I am sure you are. It was a fun video. The puppy is a handful. I don't think the older dogs appreciate all that energy. 🤣 Thanks for sharing. ❤

    Up north, we used to mix about a pound of livestock salt, or half a pound or so of calcium chloride per 5 gallon bucket of good dry dirt to keep them from freezing in. I used to pre-sift and mix a bunch of dry dirt in the summer, and keep it in lidded 5 gallon buckets so it stayed dry so I had dry dirt to bed traps in all winter long.
